Letter: Wendy David offers 100% committment to South Lake Tahoe community
Submitted by paula on Tue, 10/30/2018 - 12:27pm
Our community has less than one week before November 6th, election day, arrives. There are many important issues on the ballot. My husband and I just mailed ours in on Monday and I was reminded again of how fortunate we are to live in a nation where the voters decide on such topics as daylight savings time, on new laws preventing cruelty to farm animals, allowing rent controls to stop spiraling costs that are eliminating housing options, and many other state and local topics.

Letter: Is Measure T Really Too Extreme?
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 10/29/2018 - 10:24am
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”?

Submitted by paula on Sat, 10/20/2018 - 8:48am
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.

Letter to the Editor
Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 10/05/2018 - 9:03pm
In this election season, it is normal for individuals – and even elected officials – to endorse a campaign to support it. Elected officials are legally allowed to use their position titles to back a candidate or an initiative. We should all keep in mind, however, that they may or may not represent the opinions of the organization that they were elected to serve, or the personnel within that organization. It would be unfair of any public servant to assume that responsibility.
So, Tahoe, let’s get out there and vote!

Letter: City has failed to deliver effective VHR enforcement
Submitted by paula on Mon, 10/01/2018 - 6:00pm
Mayor Wendy David has stated that it is okay to have Vacation Home Rentals in residential neighborhoods as long as there is 'consistent' enforcement. Sorry Wendy but planning and zoning are not determined by enforcement. What has been ‘consistent' is the city's failure to deliver effective enforcement. When a neighbor calls in to complain about a problem with a VHR, a warning call goes out to the agent or owner of that VHR to warn them of the complaint. By the time the Enforcement Officer arrives the lights are out and the report reads: "Quiet on Arrival".

I first arrived in South Lake Tahoe in June 1991 about 6 weeks after college graduation. In 1991, Tahoe had the most amazing roads; now, Tahoe has the worst roads. North Dakota – a very low tax state – just might have the best roads in the whole country. In 1991, there were many places to rent in Tahoe at affordable prices; now, too many people who work in South Lake Tahoe need to commute from the Carson Valley, unnecessarily increasing their carbon footprint.

The View at 6229.1': #BeKindSLT
Submitted by paula on Thu, 05/17/2018 - 1:43pm
I’ve had this article in my head for months, bouncing around the walls of my brain, trying to decide where to go with it. There is an epidemic continuing to spread in this country. One that is curable without a vaccine, without drugs, without changing one’s diet. It’s called a Lack of Kindness.
Locals and tourists alike can feel it in South Lake Tahoe, as if a cloud of hate has descended over the lake. Pleasantries seem to be a forgotten art, as has simple kindness like holding a door open for another, or letting a car back out of a parking space, or a simple smile to a stranger.
