VHR deadline for bear box installation extended
Submitted by paula on Thu, 07/26/2018 - 3:28pm
Citing a lack of bear boxes and contractors to install them, the South Lake Tahoe Police Department has extended the July 31, 2018 deadline their installation at vacation home rentals (VHRs) for two months.
The new ordinance that went into effect December 22, 2017 gave homeowners of the VHRs until this month to have them installed. While hundreds have been installed, there are still many waiting to get them in the ground and they are on waiting lists.
Letter: Why treat all VHR owners the same?
Submitted by paula on Sun, 06/10/2018 - 2:12pm
I have been following the VHR news and comments. It appears that some view all VHR owners as irresponsible neighbors. While I can’t speak for all VHR owners, perhaps sharing our VHR’s story will illustrate that that perception is not always accurate. This is provided as one owner’s perspective.
In 1978, four families partnered to purchase a Tahoe Keys condominium.

This negative publicity has prompted some cancellations of tourist visits, or other changes to vacation plans, according to those in the industry.
