With regard to your Aug. 13 article, “Population surge”: You report a demand for more affordable housing. But how does this projected increase in housing jibe with the decrease in Lake Mead water levels? How will more housing not cause the water level to decrease at a faster rate?

Much has been reported about water restrictions in Southern Nevada and upcoming water restrictions for Western states. But we are also talking about building more housing units. Can someone please explain how more housing can be built with continuing diminished Lake Mead water levels?

Both Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and the Nevada Legislature deserve much praise for stepping up to bat for children who stutter and ultimately transforming so many lives in the process.
