The Alaska Railroad should be connected to Canada with a sidetrack running all the way to Nome. I did not realize how important railroads were until I moved from AK to SE Idaho in 2002 - they built this country!
NYT idiots think that Point Mackenzie across Knik Arm from Anchorage is swampland. I've hunted that land and its a lot drier and more stable than the mud and silt that Anchorage sits on. Heck, I even found oil seeps on a trail while bird hunting there one October. Oh but wait, that would be an oil spill wouldn't it? Maybe not because there was no oil company in sight...

They build I-10 through about 15 miles of this kind of land in Henderson Swamp, Louisiana.
