The Nantucket HIstorical Society Rules With An Iron Hand

Vinyl and aluminum siding are not allowed on homes on Nantucket. They are only allowed brick, clapboard, or cedar shingles which is by far the most common. And the colours of paint for the clapboard and trim is also strictly controlled. There is one car dealership on the island, Ford, and the building is covered in shingles.
There are no poor people living on the island. Everyone who works there who isn't a multi-millionaire takes the ferry in. Our tour guide told us the cheapest he's ever seen for a home on the island was about 600,000, for a two bedroom home that couldn't be added onto. He also said they have a lottery for subsidized housing for teachers for the island's schools.
