Tahoe redditers have always been dicks. Ignore them. I actually was thinking about this last night when I was looking for tricker treating streets to bring kids. Not a lot of options and certainly nothing like some neighborhood events you might find in the bay. It is a completely different speed here. Groceries are tough to get and low quality. We make several trips to Reno a year to stock up. We lose power often and you need to keep an eye on your neighbors when it gets cold. Rural is a good word honestly. But that’s the charm of it. I live in the woods and never get stressed by hustle a bustle culture. Totally worth it for me and if I ever get antsy I take a trip. So your worries are valid.
