Just a bad time to publish an article like this. Drug use out of control with no solution except we need more mental help facilities, students rated in the bottom 10% of public schools in the USA, crime out of control, a mayor who says be home by midnight, police breaking up homeless camps to relocate only to break them up again, a fiscally unreasonable state budget department, talk of sales tax, income tax in an already broke population, raising property tax, house value going down daily, the highest unemployment in the USA. Yeah, welcome new comers, bring cash we need it!  If you have any ideas how to get us out of this mess, you might become a mayor or even governor but it isn't writing a warm fuzzy letter pretending everything is fine. How about taking care of the already 700,000 people in AK.
