"you'd think it's a place for extreme introverts" No, wouldn't. Not at all. I'm an introvert and this type of living situation sounds like a hellhole to me. It looks way too intimate. Even massives cities would be better since it's often socially acceptable to ignore people in those places.

[@nzurimalkia3181]

Agree

[@feralbigdog298]

I tend to be the same, an affect of autism in my case, i wouldn't want to live there, too close to others, not enough privacy, and I like being able to do as i please without bugging anyone, whether it's firing up my power tools to make something, building a fire, using my guns(yes autistic people can use and own them, ive not killed anyone and I don't ever want to, adam lanza does NOT represent us), etc, its more peaceful having a house instead of being stacked on top of each other, healthier too, less risk of pathogens spreading

I always wish for more in depth analysis of the social dynamic of cities like this, or at least more questioning and hypothesis of how people may interact. Because the sexual social dynamic must be very interesting. How does dating go down? And marriage? How do people find their mates? Are marriage rates lower their because of the low amount of residents and low amount of people to choose from, or higher due to the seclusion causing people to be much alike and settle to settle down more frequently.

[@neoasura]

@@ziggybluwaters5060 It's probably like my workplace. We have 5000 employees long term. My group has been in the same building for 14 years. And trust me, everyone is an ex of everyone else. I pass by 3 ex's every day getting to my job, it's awkward always.

I think there's hardly any crime because if you rob your neighbor at breakfast time, everyone on your floor will know before lunchtime! And you can't outrun the police, they'll just turn off the elevators and chase you through the fire staircase! There's no place to hide either. "Oh, Mike can I crash at your place tonight? I owe a gambling debt." "Shut up Al, I know you swiped Eddie's cell phone. I suggest you turn yourself in at the first floor before tonight. They do have a warrant for your arrest."

[@connorjones5587]

WHATTTTTTTTTTT, my dad was the pastor of the church in the basement! We had moved it from the first floor to the basement because the room was bigger than the first floor church. After that we renovated it and made it look more suitable to be called a church! He pastored the church for two years until my family moved overseas. Afterwards another family took our place for the church. It started with 5 people going regularly to around 35 to 40 regularly when we were there.

Pot has been legal in Alaska since 2015. If you are 21 you may have six plants and carry up to an ounce. It's a bit pricey and many of the shops had to temporarily close early in 2017 because they couldn't get enough pot to sell. Actually, even before legalization, Alaska state laws were very lenient about pot. Ravin vs. State, 1975. Medical was legalized in 1998 and that included small indoor pot farms (again, up to six plants).

[@largol33t1]

ksol, it's good that Alaska legalized it. In a big city like Fairbanks and with all those freezing months, it'd be impossible to clamp down on illegal stuff like that. Legalizing it probably made all the Walter Whites of Fairbanks cry because it put a massive hole in their profits.

*Building burns down* Paul: HAHA BITCHES I CALLED IT!

[@leonecho1979]

The building's design has great potential. If condo developers built hundreds of buildings like this (while leaving some room for natural landscape), we would have a real *city*, not just a tiny town. There would be a sense of community. There would be places to chill in the winter. There would be very little driving needed. It would be more sustainable than most of today's cities.

[@Ndasuunye]

+Leon Echo that would require knocking down MOUNTAINS and concreting entire lakes and portions of the surrounding sea. Yeah, good luck with that.

[@leonecho1979]

Ndasuunye - I don't mean developing in Whittier Alaska necessarily. It could be done pretty much anywhere where there's land up for grabs.

[@Ndasuunye]

Leon Echo just forget to give back to the natives. Just TAKE IT ALL huh?

[@leonecho1979]

Ndasuunye - Nope. For example, if 50000 people lived in buildings like this, it would take a lot less land than 50000 people living in a suburb. Everyone has to live somewhere. Good buildings allow us to leave more land for native people.

I live in Anchorage, AK. I am only 2 hours away from that place. I can testify what he said is pretty accurate for the most part. I visited that place before. You can also come and visit during winter as well. On this part of AK is really not much colder than NY or Chicago during the winter. So not all AK is minus 50 degrees as some of you might think.

I think it was confirmed in a video that he is actually saying 42 at the end.

They'll still be standing long after the entire state is overrun by zombies. The one bad thing about it: if you rob someone three floors above you, the cops will walk two doors over and arrest you. And you get taken to the roof... Where the jail is! But then, you can post your bail with the hotel manager on the first floor!

In 1953 I think it was, the Buckner Building was actually known as the "City Under One Roof" but was eventually abandoned and Begich Towers was completely in 1957. Begich Towers became a condominium along with a two-story private residence, Whittier Manor. But originally the Buckner Building was the army base and port (if I remember right, I live in Alaska and try exploring abandoned places in the state)

I’ve lived in Alaska my entire life and have been to Whittier a bunch of times, it’s beautiful and the food is amazing. They even have a runners path going up the mountain that they do marathons on, it’s crazy. I suggest you visit there in the summer when it’s actually decent temperature (Summer)!
