Let me start off with the fact that I own a condo at the lake. That being said, this is why businesses have a hard time around the lake because of fewer and fewer weekday visitors/vacationers and more and more condo owners that only show up on the weekends, do their shopping at home and spend very little in the area aside from the occasional dining out. Not a good business plan for these towns, just saying. Maybe if most of these associations didn't forbid renting out to strangers it would make sense but I know most condo owners don't want strangers around when most of the units are empty during the week. Not like the "old days" when all of the cottages around were bustling with families.
