Similar to what happens in housing - if you build a giant place, you will pay more in taxes, if you have a modest house, you'll pay less.

Oh brother... I imply from your user profile that your primary state of residence is CT. I am glad you cannot vote your "tax everything for the good of the people" mentality in NH.
