Knowing something about Lake Tahoe, the problem was it was being slowly turned from a pristine lake into a cesspool from too rapid development without adequate sewage infrastruture.

Ah..a fairly basic "tradgedy of the commons". That said, if it is in the interest of the community to diminish the people's ability to use their land, there should be a corresponding tendency for compensation.

There should, but in practice it gets very complicated. Just read the case in question. If that doesn't give you a headache, nothing well. I am a lawyer, and it gave me a headache, and I am used to the cadence of the prose. Sometimes moratoria enhance land values rather than diminish them, for example. The land market is so wonderfully complex. That is why I love it so, and the intersection of that with the law, sends me sometimes into ecstasy. Nothing out there is better.
