Pretty cheap in rural Alaska; course not some of the urban activities.

No taxes (not even prop taxes), no regulation, no organized govt to grow, and everyone lives more off what the land provides outta necessity.

Eska, you obviously do not live in the Mat-Su Borough. Our PolitBorough extracts over $400/month from me for taxes. Of course I do have to pay them unless I want to turn over the fruit of my labor the the local sheriff. But then you probably don't consider Wasilla to be rural and by Alaska standards you would be right. I thought I had researched the tax burden of living in Alaska before moving here six years ago. I had no idea the property taxes would be so onerous. Still I would do it over again. Alaska is as far from the Hillary White House one can be and still be on the mainland.
