So I'll lend my outlook. Vinylhaven is right off the coast from me. I have been there many times for work. it small, its island life. Vinylhaven and North Haven, were 2 of the first places to shut right down here.
I have to agree, if you're from NY, NJ, fuck, even NH, stay home. I dont care if your summer home is here. Stay fucking home. As a coastal resident, I have seen LOTS of new traffic influx to areas usually populated by locals for a few more months. I am of the same opinion that; if you barricade me inside my own home, or destroy my property, I'm hurting you, end of story.
That being said: bringing you and your potentially infected here, IS putting myself and mine at risk. Again, STAY THE FUCK HOME. You chose your state of residence, and drivers licenses will prove that. I dont think the islanders were right, but I dont think they were wrong either.......
NOT disagreeing with you...
However.
Three land owners. Each pays the same local and state taxes to own the land.
Three home owners. Each pay the same local taxes.
Each pay the same utilities and for the services.
Each has an equal expectation to receive those services.
Shall we call these "specifics"?
Each have equal expectations to enjoy the fruits of their endeavours and of what is theirs.
One lives in the town, works in the town, and pays the local employment taxes. This one daily supports that towns economy by spending there.
#2, lives in the town, drives to work a town away, and ends up supporting two towns economies in both tax and spending habits.
#3, does not live in the town, but brings $ to support the towns economy when present, while paying the same specifics the other two pay.
The conundrum now is, will we deny any of these three their ability to enjoy what is lawfully theirs, something they own, after paying their required specifics just like everybody else there.
Most people on this board seem willing to fight strongly for what they own.
Maybe the question becomes, do we want to start that fight. In the long run, is the end result worth it.
There are better answers, but few are discussing them right now. Its time to go there.
