Well, now it makes even MORE logical sense than before.
 
Key phrase:

"when they are lost in the process of DEVELOPMENT"

 
This is a commercial law, not for residents and normal home owners.
 
In that case, it takes no one's freedom at all and makes even more sense than if they were targeting homeowners.

I am not sure why you are in such deep denial. Again anyone can google this but if you as a homeowner removing trees on so called YOUR property you can be charged with a felony. (Incline Village, NV)
 
So what are you in here for? Well I did A GW (George Washington chopping the cherry tree) and got hard time.
 
Another scary example: on so called spare the air days in a CA county, it is unlawful to use the fire place. This has not proceed down to appeals case law, (aka CA Supreme Court to my knowledge) but what do you think would happen if YOUR land got seized because your tenants (rental home property) either were unaware or didn't think the law applied to them? (They are seizing your land again not theirs???) So keep in mind that during the "eviction process" which in CA if all goes well can take 90 plus days, AND if they continue to burn through this time....Lucy... have some XPLAINING to DO !!!!

In 2004, the fire
district entered into a memorandum of understanding with the TRPA that
allows the district to use its forester to designate and issue permits for home-
owner tree removal, a practice previously reserved for the TRPA forester.

 
If you only PARTIALLY understand the issue, then yes it looks like "Tree Police Gestapo" actions.
 
But when you know the WHOLE STORY, then it 'splains itself.

The logical results of your post is incorrect. or does not encompass the history and truth.YES, SOME relief if you got a house built in 2005. But due to the VERY restrictive nature of the issuance of building permits, does not affect too many houses. Before Oct 2004, and finishing up permits issued post new regulation, Incline Village builders indeed built houses literally around live trees!!! (How insane is that for any number of reasons??) They could not and would not have done that except for the then EXPRESS permission (aka DIRECTION, either do it or NO BUILD) of the planning department. So yes, Gestapo on !

from a person who lives there:
 
"Why do you think Tahoe is still a beautiful place? Should we have allowed unrestricted development and habitat destruction so people can do whatever they want? Living up here takes a certain partnership with the environment, an obligation to limit one’s impact. TRPA is being used as a scapegoat. They have a very difficult role to play. Think about what it takes to balance all the needs in the basin without a revolt from the masses.
 
Jack,
Tahoe Keys

 
ANYWAY, this is FAR OFF TOPIC. The point is: someone has to be in charge of taking care of the Tahoe area to preserve the beauty and KEEP THE TOURISM MONEY COMING IN.
 
If they seem heavy-handed at times, then look at the end game, the goal. It's worth it.

..."KEEP THE TOURISM MONEY COMING IN."...
 
Finally something you said that we agree on.

The tourism money is a side-effect of the beautification efforts. Without the board managing the views and preserving the flora and fauna, there would be no major tourism money.

As a point of interest this area is where the higher percentage of owners, so called upper income buy their 2nd/3rd/and sometimes 4th house. This good to have a play area that is literally off limits to most folks?
