In New Hampshire they have the 'view factor' that they use as a multiplier
depending on your view. One guy was paying 500 dollars a year on his
house, that went to 3500 dollars with a 'view factor' of 7.

That is getting to be a popular way of gouging the taxpayers. They have
been doing that in CT now also. One wealthy individual just sold the
waterfront home that has been in the family for 150 years because of the tax
increases. I'm not sure of all the classifications, but there is beach
view, water view, beachfront, lakefront, etc.
