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.




Grew up in CT. Not the CT of today though. The waterfront I played around
consisted of oil tanker docks and barges at junk yards. They tore down
the many many 1m gal tanks, filled the containment holes with kitty
litter or something and built "waterfront" condos. It was worth more than
the fuel oil businesses. The "water" at the waterfront glows various
colors at night and a blue slick on top of black water by daytime. But
it's waterfront.
