However, while these good folks do pay the taxes, they do not tend to be the supporters of the local businesses. It is the boaters who keep the local retailers and restaurants alive. So there is a bit of a stand off and usually an uneasy truce between the two factions.
Never could understand why given the size of some of the sleeps six to eight craft on the lake why they could not actually enjoy an overnight anchorage but that might lead to a Tony Soprano type docking and then we would be back to the "do you know who I am" folks really getting upset.

I think your observations are very flawed.
