Vacation Rentals Banned at South Lake Tahoe, Measure T

[Andrew Faukner]

It looks like Measure T has passed in South Lake Tahoe. The measure says they will ban vacation rentals in most of the city. It looks like they are going to phase this in over three years. I'm sure there will be lawsuits before this is fully implemented. It passed at 51.23% to 48.77%, a difference of 113 votes. Here is a link to the election results, look at the last page for Measure T: Measure T

I've been thinking about this measure T.  

A lot of investors who live outside of SLT own property in SLT. Since they own land there, shouldn't they be able to vote on issues that affect their property? The county seems to be able to find me when they want their property tax, why couldn't they send me an abbreviated ballot that just allows me to vote on issues that affect my property?
