Sierra Nevada alpine lake straddling the California-Nevada border at 1,897m elevation — the deepest US lake outside Crater. South Lake Tahoe (the dense walkable casino-adjacent core, on the Nevada side at Stateline) and Tahoe City (the quieter California-side north shore anchor) are the typical bases. US has no DNV. The structural draws are year-round outdoor recreation (skiing November-April at 15+ resorts; swimming, hiking, paddleboarding May-October), no California state income tax on the Nevada side (relevant for long stays), and alpine climate. Genuinely expensive; peak-season tourist density is real.
Cost-adjusted FIRE number, time-to-FI scenarios, and how this base compares to a US lifestyle baseline.
