So, how many oil derricks are there within 500 miles of either Anchorage OR Juneau? Try again.
I live outside of Anchorage and 100% of my work involves support for the North Slope. The engineering is done in Anchorage. And Anchorage is out of space for construction of homes. I have people working for me that drive an hour to get here. The Knik Arm bridge will open up a lot of land for people to live and work supporting the North Slope and not spend a fortune driving to work.
You have no idea how the OIL patch works do you?
