Vacation Rental Moratorium in South Lake Tahoe?

The South Lake Tahoe City Council is having a meeting on June 17th to discuss the possibility of a Vacation Rental Moratorium in the City of  South Lake Tahoe.  Apparently there are some angry locals that believe that vacation rentals are the main cause of noise pollution, bear, and parking problems in South Lake Tahoe.

I believe that rules and enforcement will be a much better solution than a moratorium on new vacation rental permits.

I have witnessed more problems with noise, parties, and trash with long term rentals than vacation rentals. I currently live across the street from a long term rental with five teenagers who come and go throughout the night, and park everywhere! The vacation rental across the street from my old house was a lot quieter and has a bear proof trash container (required for vacation rentals in the county).

A moratorium on vacation rentals would be devastating to our local economy. It would further depress the South Lake Tahoe Real Estate market, hurt local small business owners, and bring in less revenue to the city.

Here is a brief survey that you should take to show the city council how you feel about the idea of a vacation rental moratorium.
