What the shit, Alaska?

There are geographic factors that probably contribute (isolationism, etc) that the article dives into. Its a worthwhile read.

Are you saying Alaska is out of the question? Cause I'm thinking $500 month for a 200 sq/ft cabin with no plumbing in the middle of nowhere sounds like a great way to spend our rent money. ;)

Everything has to be shipped in. EVERYTHING. Diesel is crazy expensive, fresh fruit is outrageous, any meat you do not hunt or raise yourself is expensive. Still, it is lovely country and encourage people to visit at least once.

Montana, btw, is cheaper to live and work, has the same type of terrain, and is more accessible :)
