Replying to: larsb (Jan 15, 2009 12:16 pm) 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 !!!!

Replying to: ruking1 (Jan 15, 2009 12:18 pm) 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.

Replying to: ruking1 (Jan 15, 2009 12:32 pm) "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.

Replying to: larsb (Jan 15, 2009 10:09 am) You said "very rare" also; and since there only 5 or 6 of us who post here regularly, 1 out of 6 isn't very rare.  Sorry, having a Jack in the Crack on every city block is NOT a "right." So if any local or state government decides something is not wanted or good for the people, the government can just pass a law and individuals don't have a right to it? If I want to get a franchise for a BK or McD's going, and the city passes a law that it can't be located within 1 mile of a school, that's okay? Since schools are all over that restricts them entirely. So you think it is okay for the government to decide what sort of restaurant/store you can open, or to go to a consumer? This is interference with peoples' opportunity to make a living. I can also see where existing business owners could influence politicians to keep out competition. Do some research on how workers were once forced to use company-stores.
