In New Hampshire and elsewhere, your country-setting is now slapped with a view tax.

There is no escaping this cancer - we need to fight it.

Sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.

Lucky us- all we see are trees to the N, E and S, and we only have a view of the neighbor's property uphill across the road, which has been clearcut and bulldozed in preparation for cookie-cutter development. (I wanted to buy him out, but the developers have deeper pockets.)

Now the folks down the road, with panoramic views of the Mohawk Valley- they would get hammered by a view tax. Never mind that those houses sell for more, thus paying more taxes already.
