I haven't spent a large amount of time with this thread, but giving it a quick read, it seems the issue is people coming in from other States, buying property, and changing things from "the way they were". And, while I would agree there is simply too much of that (McMansions, the disappearing of the true lake front seasonal cottage, etc.) my thought would simply be this. If a transaction does not have a buyer and a seller, there is no transaction. So maybe issue should be taken with all the "long time in the family" properties, that finally landed in the hands of someone who decided to take their huge profit, instead of living the good lake life. Should there be no responsibility placed on the shoulders of the "sell outs"?
