I have personally seen this exact thing play out 3 times in the last 2 years. I suppose one could argue that in either case, they are 2nd homes with likely no additional pressure on the school system. The cycle seems unsustainable to me but what to do. I vote sales tax as at least you have some control over what you buy and don't but I know that's not popular. Live free and die of taxes!

We have sales taxes. Lots of sales taxes.
At the State level, sales taxes almost provide as much revenue as business taxes.
