Too many locals cannot comfortably afford to live in the space at which they currently reside.  When giant ranches near Elko, NV were more affordable before 2020, my brother, his band friends, and I generally discussed what it would take to facilitate a solution to somehow help the exponential homelessness crisis.  I have since turned the idea into a very serious plan for urban areas, and I have adapted this plan for homeowners and renters in the Lake Tahoe basin.  In 2023, I learned about grant-funding programs for such a plan.  I have also investigated the problem through a lens of audits of “Prop HHH” housing projects in Los Angeles in 2019 and 2022, which show a severe conflict between actual timelines, cost figures, and original projection documents.  I have ten years of experience in independent action campaigns based in law, I have already "made huge waves," and I have been developing a plan fit for the Tahoe basin for three years. 

A great variety of regional interests are at stake in South Lake Tahoe’s housing debate.  Beginning in 2022, I began compiling volumes of City, regional, and private planning documents going as far back as 1987 in order to search for a correlation between past infrastructure projects and the erupting needs of the people of our town.  During that time, City resources have struggled on their own, without enough well-funded community engagement, to tangle with at least five measures intended to combat the business of housing foreclosure with external consequences of the opposite kind.  Affordable housing has always been a hot political issue in the Lake Tahoe basin, as far back as 1987.  Until recently, City officials have always moved forward with “day-laborer cattle-train” regional transportation infrastructure plans to ship local employees off the hill up every day as an alternative to housing development.  Until recently, potential local partners have generally turned down joint powers with the City of South Lake Tahoe to manage new, regional transportation infrastructure.  Recent local infrastructure projects meet State affordability criteria, but the counterproductive “legitimacy” of these criteria follow a pattern seen around the State of California, around the nation, and especially in Los Angeles County.  The big-money interests seeking involvement in South Lake Tahoe have demonstrated their overall concern for our town and its people, as illustrated by the buildup of rhetoric and action in recent years as well as more vividly by a giant “hole” left since 2007 at some of the most prime real estate within City limits. 

In 2025, the City Council passed a resolution establishing “City Strategic Priority #1” as “the ability for everyone who works here to live here.”  City officials have recently put great urgency and effort into identifying and sorting through the functions, data, and variables of the “crisis” level of local’s need.  My cost-cutting, corner-cutting, middle-man cutting plan to clearly end homelessness in LA County, now instead adapted for homeownership and renter-retention, has cost figures "that blow all others out of the water by an incredibly huge margin," as agreed to by 3 LA County officials involved with their 2023 grant-seeking process.  Grant-seekers with a proposal that has a job-creation element have a higher chance of being awarded grant money.  A revolutionary job-creation program built into a legitimate affordable housing plan will target two birds with one stone.  Pursuant to relevant State law, 2025 City Strategic Priority #1 gives way too much vivid room with what 2025 South Park episodes said about a “box” buried somewhere on the West Shore.  I am already scheduling meetings with potential sponsors from the professional community, and I just hope some locals want to come along, see the truth, feel the results, and witness the power!
