You have rentals, Tom; when you rent a three bedroom house do you give
a discount to a family that only has one kid and doesn't really "need"

Actually I do.

If I have a family of four, I charge more because they will be using
more resources like water, heat and electricity.

If I have a couple, I charge less because they will be using less
resources.

That approach has served me well.

My complaint has to do with the minimum they charge. One marina in
particular that I'm referencing has slips available for 20 foot boats,
but they still charge a minimum of 25 feet. Above that, it's charged
by the foot.

That isn't right and I don't care how you try to justify it.
