The "Green" Argument for Fractionals

An article I read recently said that the average second home owner uses her property 17-20 days out of the year. That is a lot of vacant shore houses. The lumber used to construct a 3000 square foot home requires 2.2 acres of forest. The carbon dioxide output of any home is significant.

By owning a fractional share of a shore house, we effectively reduce the number of homes built. This equates to fewer homes sitting vacant but still consuming energy and creating pollution. The same number of people can visit the shore, but fractionals let us do so with fewer houses!
