Letter: Is Measure T Really Too Extreme?
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 10/29/2018 - 9:24am
I am surprised that some people call Measure T “too extreme,” when the measure a) still allows fulltime residents to rent out their houses for 30 days per year, b) promotes the development and expansion of VHRs in areas properly zoned as commercial or part of the Tourist Core.
Do you know what is really “too extreme”?

Dear South Shore Tahoe,
I attended a forum of City Council candidates this week. As I listened to the candidates, I realized, this is America the beautiful.
Each candidate spoke with integrity, well-founded opinions, intelligence, and (above all else) commitment to our city. Their views were all over the map, each represented different groups across town, defended their positions, advertised their experience. But ‒ most importantly ‒ they were there, giving themselves, in discussion and listening, for our community.
Let’s hold onto this America: E Pluribus Unum ‒ Of Many, One.
