The Street Vacation

In these troubled economic times, Elko, Nevada has got it figured out. As a town, they have banded together to create the ultimate staycation: The Street Vacation. They have even made it a part of their municipal code in an effort to promote contentment from the too-poor-to-travel among them. So, Elko citizens: Has it succeeded? Are you vacationing on the street? What are the comforts of home that you miss while you camp on your neighbor's sidewalk? Do you resist the urge to sneak back into your own bed when you think no one is watching? Have you mastered the art of cooking over a campfire assembled from newspapers robbed from the recycling bin down the street? Did you think to bring matches or did you have to use the rubbing two sticks together method? And the most important question of all: When it comes time to vote for the people who create the laws in your town, will you pick new ones or do you think they are doing a great job of promoting unity in this time of hardship?

Please, Elko. I want to know.
