If you do the numbers you’ll note that all seven billion people on the planet could move to Texas and have 4,000 square feet apiece to live on. It’ll be awhile before they get there so it’s not a problem yet.

Low density is a priority of course and TX has it certainly. Wide open spaces are a plus. Alaska has plenty of that too. Unlike here, however, TX is connected by road to all the major population centers in North America.

That could be good. That could be bad. I consider the limited accessibility Of Alaska in general and Mitkof Island in particular an upgrade. It's not for everyone of course. It all depends on your priorities.

I certainly dig the benefits of living out a ways. From our place it’s 259 miles to the next bit of civilization. The other way is a town but nobody cares.
