I am sure glad that we live in REAL rural Alaska.
No government, no city, no zoning, no political B.S., and no nosy neighbors telling us what to do!
Neighbors out here are like family, and we always help each other out. We work hard, raised our families, grandchildren come for the summers, we know were our salvation comes from, and we grow older and pass away. 

Here is a Alaskan thought.
Instead of bashing and condemning these people.
With David Szabo's permission. How about folks starting a fund to help folks out like this.  
If 10,000 people donated $5.00 one time, out of their daily espresso habit. And or donated some time/equipment to help clean it up. (by the $50,000 estimation cost) Maybe even sell some of it. It sure would go a long way of making things more neighborly. 

We are live a simple life out here, well below the poverty level. But I will put my $ where my mouth is. If someone does set up a fund. I will donate the first $ 10.00.

Take care, be safe.
God bless.
