North Wildwood - To the spouter complaining about the high property taxes in North Wildwood and Wildwood, approximately nine percent of each town's "winter" population work for the municipalities. This means that nine percent of the winter population, including their extended family, votes to keep the status quo. This also means that the city itself is the island's largest full-time employer. If you like your public job, benefits and pension, one votes accordingly, and it's equivalent to hitting the lottery for some folks, especially in a resort town with high unemployment for most who reside year round.
