Tahoe has a housing problem. This is the one thing that we can all agree on.
Our community is leaving town at increasing rates as they continue to get priced out. “Locals for Affordable Housing” has been very vocal in publicly advocating for what they claim is a solution: a vacancy tax.
It is not. The truth is, those in our community who need housing solutions the most would be hurt significantly if this tax measure passed.

There are 18 SNO-Parks on U.S. Forest Service land in California, ten in the Lake Tahoe Basin with many others just a short drive away. The parks offer cleared parking for vehicles, and opportunities for non-motorized winter activities including cross-country skiing, dog sledding, and snow play. A handful of SNO-Parks offer access to both motorized and non-motorized activities.
Using the SNO-Parks keeps drivers off the sides of US50, SR89, and SR88 where cars are often parked in the lane of travel, with young children walking along the roadway and/or sledding into traffic.
