El Dorado County, California
El Dorado County climbs from the El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park suburbs on the Sacramento edge up Highway 50 to Placerville and the South Lake Tahoe basin. Sacramento commuter demand drives the west slope while Tahoe property trades on tourism, with the county's traffic-concurrency growth-management rules, TRPA coverage limits in the basin, and fire-hazard zoning acting as the real constraints on entitlement.
