Many islanders in other towns have arrangements for private docking and car parking even if they have some town provided reserved dock spaces. Their choice. Live with your choice.

I have two neighbors whose families bought their property on Bear Island in 1896. They most certainly did not "buy it this way". I have been on Bear for 27 years and I am one of the new guys. When I arrived boat and car parking pressures were much different than they are now.
Anyway things change over time. Over the years there are more boats, more homes, more cars, and more regulations. 3 Hour parking limits, overnight docking restrictions and overcrowded public docks are relatively new phenomenon.
