No because you are blatantly pitting the "rich" against the "average people". It's not a sin to work hard and enjoy the fruits of your labors. The property was on the open market when the camp closed. Many had the opportunity to purchase it including the town. A successful person stepped up and added greatly to the tax rolls of the town. It may not have been the highest or best use of the property but it happened and the town allowed it. Don't make it a Us against them. As much as we all would like to live at Lake Winni in the 1950's those days are gone.
