I think if this system is to continue that only property owners should be able to vote, unless you want to start an income tax (OMG!) and let all of the apartment dwellers and non-property owners share in the cost of education, town services, etc. The taxation system in NH is messed-up.

I have always figured that renters do pay property taxes through the rent they pay to the owner. The higher the taxes in a town, the higher the rent is likely to be.
