Cape May - I spouted that if taxes were collected based on days of occupancy, our shore towns would be broke. An Erma spouter replied, "Are you suggesting that if a residence is unoccupied from October to May, the police wouldn't have to respond to any reports on this property? If it were to catch fire, the fire department would be free from saving said home." That is not what I said. Quite simply, the year-round residents who produce a constant demand for services could not finance those services without summer residents. Compare number of housing units and population.
