Population growth in Alaska villages equals or surpasses Third World rates.  I just met someone in Point Lay who has seven kids and wants to have several more.  Many of the parents are teens continuing an never-ending cycle of generational dysfunctionalism.  Most of the villages have no economic base and limp along on subsidies.   Villages like Kivalina will have to be relocated the costs of which are unimaginable.  As for the Juneau road and Knik Arm bridge, continuing to fund them is ludicrous.
