For sure isolation is a thing in Tahoe. It's like living on an island or out in rural America. Especially in winter, it's really an isolating place. Everyone is a transplant, not a lot of family stuff going on, lots of people running from something, or with addiction problems. I was working in the clubs and as a female I didn't have to buy a drink for the four years I lived there. Let's just say I took advantage of that little perk. Dangerous place.
