What about all of the lovely "seasonal homes" along the lake in Malletts Bay in Colchester? Most of them are vacant for 10 months of the year. What if you want to buy one and live in it all year round? You literally have to pay MORE money for the opportunity to occupy the same exact space when you buy the house because the houses are on "leased land" where the land owner charges a higher rate every year to rent the land that your owned house sits upon meanwhile for the majority of homes they're vacation homes that sit empty. Why have to pay more just to occupy a space that couldn't otherwise be occupied if you weren't there? If anything those who pay less benefit from those who stay year round because they keep an eye on the property and prevent squatters from moving in. Seriously there are a ton of emokty empty houses and unattainable houses because many are in disrepair and still expensive. Furthermore there is plenty of land where people shouldn't have to be forced to live on top of each other for an attainable cost but it isn't profitable for investors to develop that way which is why the look and feel of the towns are being destroyed anyway with ugly and unaffordable condo apartments where you can't even buy an RV if you wanted to.
