I still don't think any Govt. entity should be allowed to control the demographics of it's populace by pricing people out of their homes....
When the town leaders get tired of their great unwashed, increase taxes and get the better bathed!
The current value of homes in NH has increased all-across-the-board. An $85,000 shack, valued a few years ago, is worth a lot more today.

Doesn't work... we have been using our property tax system for centuries. The assessment every five years is an original article of our State Constitution. We aren't any better bathed.
Our household size has dropped, and our house square footage has increased. If we had built the same size as we did in the 1940s, or even smaller to adjust to the lower number of people in the household... our assessment would be relatively lower.
