I lived in and loved Juneau for thirty years, though the downtown lefties are hard to take.   If I still lived there, I'd be considering asking the State and the US to cede Southeast Alaska to British Columbia.   Continental Alaska simply and viscerally hates Southeast Alaska.   Since Juneau has the Capital, it has an overabundance of the left-wing crazies who inhabit capital cities, but there were a lot fewer "War is Not the Answer" signs on 10th Street in Juneau than in the South Addition in Anchorage.   There should have been a road to Juneau decades ago, long before the first over-priced Jones Act ferry.   Juneau is the Capital because it was once the richest town in America and maybe the World; the mines around Juneau still produce fabulous wealth, although American law keeps American companies out of the trade.   Anchorage is effectively the capital now, and it is getting the crazies; enjoy.
