I wonder how many privileged summer residents make their kids get jobs here nowadays? Me thinks it would help a lot, if they did!
Things that make you go hhhmmmmm....

A friend of mine had a place at Lakeshore Park and would spend most of his summers here...and also at Jackson's Star.
I definitely think there used to be more of that in general, but I'm not sure if it's "privilege" that prevents it these days or alternatives. I know a few of my students who have homes in the LR stay home in MA to work because the pay is higher/double and it's easier for consistency throughout the school year.
Many of my other students are involved in internships, taking college courses to finish early/get ahead, or traveling.
