SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Those living around Lake Tahoe know the fire danger, but those buying homes may not always be aware of exactly how extreme that danger can be at a home sitting in the middle of a forest.
Starting earlier this year, the seller of a house in a designated high fire area built before 2010 must now disclose to the buyer the property conditions that make the home vulnerable to wildfires. Sellers now must provide buyers a notice that includes language on how to fire harden homes and a list of any specific home features that the seller is aware might make the home vulnerable to wildfire and flying embers. The list can include materials such as untreated wood shingles, single pane glass windows, and combustible landscaping near the home.

The needs of the locals, or the wants of the tourists. This question was before the South Lake Tahoe Planning Commission on May 13 when they voted 3-2 to build an Airbnb-style hotel in the middle of the Al Tahoe neighborhood after the developer argued that “a boutique hotel motel” would make money faster than building homes.

Again, and again, and again, our city government puts tourists and developers first, and locals last.
This is the worst housing crisis Tahoe has ever known, and without action it will only get worse. A long term problem, long ignored by our city and brought now to a crisis by a sudden influx of high-income Bay Area remote workers due to COVID.
