If you drive around the waterfront homes in the off-season, from labor day to memorial day, you'll notice that almost all of the waterfront homes are not occupied. The local voting residents know this and love the big waterfront property tax bills because they are paid by the 'summer' people who come from 'away'. The property tax bills for the locals who live on non-waterfront areas is peanuts and they basically get a free ride with their schools, police, fire, roads. The waterfront property tax payers have always carried the heavy load in NH towns that are fortunate to have waterfront.
