It's an age-old problem everywhere. When you have a large, beautiful body of water, you're not a secret. Winni was never a secret as far back as I can tell. Heck, I remember when most of the area was so quiet as to be boring (I was young then
). We would have died to have places like the Town Docks to go to. As it was, we had the Weirs, arcades, and finally fast food on the water.
Wealthy people have always been on Winni, mostly old money though. Back when my dad bought his camp and 100' for $10K, we had just trees and clean water. It was a beautiful place to grow up on the lake. Fact is, it still is. The only thing I regret about the changes there now are the prices
I know of a few people that almost laugh at their waterfront property taxes. One particular story says it all. A plane, boats, and doesn't even make a dent in the change in income taxes from the now infamous tax cut. Somehow, I've not been able to save enough of my tax cut to pay for my boat slip.
