In response to opinion piece Housing Headache: My Experience Navigating the Crisis
Proposals for Housing Regulations
Truckee should consider making it really easy for homeowners to build a “studio,” either attached or not, to main residence, over the garage, etc. Give a “break” in property taxes or something as incentive. Or … how about a tiny house community? The cost of real estate in Truckee is sky high. Resorts should be providing affordable housing for seasonal workers … tiny homes!

Tom McClintock’s Tahoe Summit Points Confuse
Nice work! McClintock is a confusing one. Does it not make sense to both include climate change as a big factor in the whole picture, and hold the FS accountable? Not really a one or the other situation, I would suggest to Tom.

Fire Fears
The Tahoe Basin Unit of the Eldorado NF is highly flawed, mostly due to TRPA. It is a matter of time before the next devastating fire occurs there and it is mostly self-inflicted.

We Would Be Trapped
If we had a major, fast moving fire like the Camp fire, thousands of people would be trapped. I live just off of 267 and I wouldn’t be heading for I-80. I’d never make it due to traffic. I’d be headed right towards the lake!

A Hero and a Stand-Up Guy
I have volunteered for TNSAR alongside Scott B. for about 14 years now, and gosh darn, he still has a knack of showing up in the right place at the right time. We are lucky to have him in our community!
