To a Cape May summer resident: You state, "Quite simply, the year-round residents who produce a constant demand for services could not finance those services without summer residents." Your residence, whether you are occupying it or not, also requires a "constant demand for services," as I stated before. Police, fire, etc. are there to protect and serve the city year round, including your property. That is, unless you take your house with you when you leave. Maybe you would suggest the same thing in your hometown since you are not there for part of the year?
