Greetings Strong North Tahoe Member,
|
Thanks for being part of this growing neighbor-led effort. On Tuesday, we took a neighborhood walk through Kings Beach. We started at Tahoe Backyard with sunshine, good energy, and thoughtful conversation about what’s working — and what’s not.
|
Even if you couldn’t make it, you can still jump in. Here’s how.
|
🔍 What You Can Do Right Now
We introduced the new Report a Problem tool — a simple map where you pin places in Kings Beach and North Tahoe that need attention. You describe what’s wrong, what you or a neighbor could do next, and what should happen long-term.
|
One neighbor noticed the “S” falling off the post office sign. A short-term fix? Wire it back up. A better fix? Get the post office to weld it. This is how we build strength: you name the problem, take the next small step, and invite others to do the same.
👉 Use the tool now to report something you see

🧭 What We Saw on the Walk
Guided by Andrew and Patricia, we strolled through town and saw a mix of hope and frustration.
|
🏘 Places that work: You’ve probably seen the transformation of Sierra Community House and Brown Bear Studios. They used to be rundown. Now they offer housing and support — and they show what’s possible.
|
🚧 Things in the way: Some buildings stay empty because rules around parking or sidewalks block progress. We asked: Do we need to shift priorities so it’s easier to bring life back first?
|
🏚 Empty spots that sit too long: Like the old Rite Aid. They could become something useful — but they’re stuck.
|
🛏 Fewer places to stay: Tourist units are leaving downtown. Visitors still come, but they don’t stick around or spend money. That hurts our businesses and our town.
|
💬 What You Can Do
|
You already walk these streets. You already notice what’s missing, broken, or stuck.
|
Now you can mark it on the map.
|
The more issues we pin, the more clearly we can see what needs doing — and who should take action. Whether that’s you, a neighbor, or the County, this map helps us organize what comes next.
|
🛠️ What’s Next: Join the June 4 Meetup
|
Our next meetup builds on what you report. We’ll talk about how to take action — even if you only have a few minutes. You’ll learn how to:
|
|
- Write or join a letter campaign
|
|
- Coordinate public comments with others
|
- Find out who’s responsible and how to get their attention
|
Thanks for noticing what’s happening in your neighborhood — and for caring enough to act.
