We live in an unorganized borough/community, no law, no prop taxes, very few services. I like living in a place that lacks local govt, nobody ever attempting to grow taxes when services don't exist. Living in a state that doesn't have any state taxes and 60 billion in savings where state only spend 7 bill/year on state govt; (thank You Sarah), plus 100 years of oil still in the ground for the future. In a place lacking fences, miles on miles of open country, surrounded by mountains and hardly any people; heck we don't even have a cell tower within 200 miles. Nearest state police are 200 miles away and our road is closed for thee winter; no crime whatsoever here. No locked doors, no keys outta any vehicles, and I know every single person that lives within 200 miles of my home;;; That's peace of mind buddy, no joke.
Sorry to go on, people back east need to wake back up that it doesn't have to be the way it is back there. I was conditioned once too, thinking that 15K my family paid in state taxes every year was just normal; it's not normal.
Dang, I luv Alaska; belong here, cold weather and all.
I wish I were in alaska as well.
