In reply to the discussion: Remote workers are moving to outdoor vacation destinations [View all]FirstLight
(13,414 posts)2. As a Tahoe local ...just know it is creating a serious housing/wage issue here.
They are buying up everything, driving the market out of reach of locals to even rent and availability is gone.
Not to mention they also move up here and have some adaptability issues...especially with wildlife. We have had two front page stories in the paper about living wioth wildlife in the past 2-3 weeks. People are calling to have bears "removed" when they are just walking by...and a coyote was shot with an arrow as well.
I hate to be so damn anti-social but myself and many other long term locals are seriously upset and disturbed by the trend.
