Least favorite part of Tahoe but it's still Tahoe

I love Tahoe. So beautiful and so much to do . Great food too. Close to Carson City, Virginia City, and Reno and not too far from Sacramento. So you'll never run out of things to do here. I do have to say though South Lake Tahoe isn't as nice as other parts of Tahoe. Which is why it is gets 4 stars whereas all other places in Tahoe I'd give 5 stars to. Parts of South Lake Tahoe are kinda dumpy and rundown. Some crime, drugs, and methheads. Definitely more than other places in Tahoe. Certainly nowhere near as bad as say Eureka or Crescent City in northwestern California though. There are quite a few nice places on the south shore too. Like Fallen Leaf Lake, Desolation Wilderness, Mount Tallac ,and Emerald Bay (most would consider that West shore though). That being said I definitely would generally prefer the north shore, west shore, or the Nevada Side over South Lake Tahoe.
