Much of Southdown SHores/Long Bay and GI seems to be vacant most of the year when we go the homes for fire alarm calls and such. Amazing that people have enough money to have $400,000 "summer place" in SDS and still maintain a home in MASS or COnn.

Hmmm,
Most of the people that I know in South Down do not claim residency. My taxes are higher than in MA and I get minimal services:
I don't have any children in the school system
I don't have any vehicles registered in New Hampshire
I can not vote in New Hampshire election
I think that we dumped tea in the harbor some years back over this kind of taxation. I don't think that the folks in South Down feel like they are getting any sort of advantage.
Just my 2 cents.
