* Claim multiple families living in single-family homes are raising taxes and driving down property values
The small town of East Hampton has gained a reputation as the playground for New Yorks well-heeled elite, a place to spend the idle summer months in their million-dollar homes.
But some of its wealthy residents are upset at an influx of less well-heeled workers who they say are lowering the quality of life and diminishing the appearance of the quaint Long Island town.
A campaign group is focusing on the Springs area of East Hampton, dubbing itself 'Unoccupy Springs' and calling for an end to multiple families of low-wage workers living under one roof.
Liberal hypocrisy?
