KJ, you make good points but I don't agree with this one..........
"Folks need to plan for the costs."
Now maybe I'm wrong but I don't think that people that purchased a lakeside "cabin" "10" or 50 or 100 years ago could have imagined the values (or the taxes) to go up the way they did over the past few years.
I think that there is a difference between the people that purchase now and the ones that did years ago. People that purchase now realize the tax burden that comes with it.
That would also explain the type of homes being built now as opposed to the "cabins" once built.
Thank you all for your posts, it has been enlightening.
