This pandemic has hastened my plans to move to Tahoe. The lockdown takes all the benefits of city living away.

I understand, but I must state the obvious - the lockdown is not forever.

No, but the long term effects are unpredictable. I certainly wouldn't encourage anyone in a city to pack up and move to rural Alaska because of the situation.

But I suspect many people on the fence about living in this or that city and going through a rough period of city-living will take this as a call to move elsewhere.

It’s not ending any time soon. And there might be rolling lockdowns going forward.

Why Tahoe? I'm on the NV side. Super crowded.

I've already got land on the Donner Summit to build a house. Starting this summer. It's a lot less crowded than Oakland.
