#laketahoe Good read about the #overdevelopment of Lake Tahoe and the wolves #TahoeRegionalPlanningBoard guarding the henhouse, Lake Tahoe Development.
One drive from Tahoe City to South Lake Tahoe six months ago was mortifying. Dozens of cars carelessly parked in No parking zones. Really dangerous on 89.

UNESCO - Humanity's "lifeblood" #water, is increasingly at #risk around the world due to #vampiric #overconsumption and #overdevelopment," in a report, published hours ahead of a major summit. The world is "blindly traveling a dangerous path" as "unsustainable water use, #pollution & #unchecked #GlobalWarming are draining humanity's lifeblood," UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said in a foreword to report. https://www.unesco.org/reports/wwdr/2023/en/download #sanitation #poverty #PublicHealth #disease

Scarred for life: the #Himalayan towns sinking into oblivion

The construction of vast dams and a network of roads and railways have taken a heavy toll on the state of #Uttarakhand, with buildings in #Joshimath and other settlements collapsing and residents blaming government indifference

by Hannah Ellis-Petersen, Mon 20 Mar 2023

"Joshimath sits 6,000ft up in the Indian high Himalayas, a mountain range steeped in spiritual meaning for Hindus who believe it is the abode of the gods. Nanda Devi, a peak visible from a point above the town, is said to be a manifestation of the Hindu goddess Parvati. The town is close to one of the most sacred Hindu shrines of the Himalayas, Badrinath temple, where millions of salvation-seeking pilgrims travel every year.

"As far back as 1976, scientists cautioned that any heavy construction, tunnelling or disturbance of the Joshimath slope could have serious consequences. The warnings were ignored, and an unregulated sprawl of homes, multistorey hotels, shops and restaurants was allowed to spring up along the mountainside. #Trees, which stabilised the ground, were cut down and drainage was neglected.

"The allegation now being investigated by independent geologists is that the cracks caused by boring and blasting the tunnel have spread deep into the mountain. As a result, the water that gushed into the tunnel after the 2021 disaster, and other disrupted water flows caused by construction, is now seeping through these cracks and destabilising the slope where Joshimath stands."

A decision by the New South Wales government to fast-track rezoning for 12,900 houses on Sydney’s fringe has raised questions about the potential influence of developers and their lobbyists over the timing of new land releases.

The area:
🚐 has no public transport, existing or planned
💧has inadequate water supplies and
🐨 is in a region known as a koala habitat.

Waverley Mayor Paula Masselos calls for:
📝 responsibility for certification to be returned to councils
👷‍♂️ councils to be able to consider developer’s track record before approving development
📃 improved building standards in NSW
👩‍⚖️ greater accountability for registered certifiers, engineers and builders.
