@@i-eat-you The majority of the land is owned by the Alaska Railroad and the City. Very little private property for development. As a result, housing is mostly in the form of a couple of condominiums and a smattering of small framed cabins on private lots. The property tax base is buoyed up by the fees generated by the City harbor. There is also a private “condo harbor” and a new commercial dock/harbor/commercial project under way at this time. Again, all commercial development. Typical seasonal summer destination town for those who have boats….very quiet in the winter.

As an introvert myself I do hope for this reason as well as others the comment was deep sarcasm or a bot. Here's my version. Wouldn't it be amazing for the environment and social benefits if we all lived in community pods where we all shared belongings isolated from the environment and where our wastes were recycled to meet all our food needs. And it would save so much time wasted preparing food if there could be just a waste processing tube that injected needed nutrients just connected from our anus direct to our stomach. Just think of the reduced carbon and work life balance! 😅 But of course I'm taking it to the extremes of this type of thinking. The people in this community seem lovely and if it makes them or the commentator above happy they should be free to voluntarily choose living as they wish. It's not for everyone and people should remain free to live in the ways that works for them. One person's heaven can be another's hell. I recently saw the planned city in the desert called The Line and that looks like a planned dystopia to me but I guess some people want to live there. Again as long as it's just one type of voluntary option. On a creepy aside, the ad I got with this video was for bespoke underground luxury bunkers for rich people to ride out the apocalypse in style and opulence.

Most septic tanks are in better condition, and the theater wasn't any better. Smashed EVERYTHING made me sick. The strange thing was, everything else is in great condition.

Another fascinating documentry. Thank you.

[@TethysThorn]

I went there and loved the catamaran and also the souvenir lady on the beach who told me, "the world comes to me". Cool place.

[@Bettinasisrg]

It is like a David Lynch movie/tv set! Surreal older vibe but yet modern day. I'd love to see it in the summer.

[@michellemaistry3170]

I've heard about this place and wondered what it's like on the inside. Thank you for the tour. Now if some Alaskan can please send some of that snow to me in South Africa 😅

[@arcanewyrm6295]

I'm an American who would love to visit South Africa. Hell, I might even enjoy living there. 😊

My daughter and her husband went there during their honeymoon. Couldn’t stop talking about the town

Imagining scenarios just like this is what got me through being a housekeeper at a hotel

[@serhii_himself_98]

Wonderful city, as a semi-hiki I cannot imagine how cool it is to live your life to the fullest without going outside XD

[@janjurcik1746]

Very interesting video, like only Mr. Ruhi always can create. Really good work, thank you so much!

[@rachna4648]

This place is beautiful for me and this place is absolutely heaven for a introvert person like me!!!!

[@ianarts6033]

Thank you for this video! I never knew this. Very interesting to watch and love the community. They are united despite of their cultural differences. Filipinos are everywhere! We can adapt easily.

[@mariobacolod]

how they got there hehehe

[@michaelhernandez3951]

Great content Ruhi, keep up the great work! Looking forward to all new content 🗺🌐

[@boogiebear3095]

I have to admit the area is quite beautiful.

[@Baby1245]

This would be a good concept for retirees or those who have budgetary constraints... Build a building or a building complex to house the whole town in... I bet it'll be a cheap and affordable "rent to own" system for people who like to live this way....all in_no need to go outside.

[@rebeccaa2433]

It's like this in a lot of assisted living places. They have a salon, movie theater, shops, restaurant etc.

[@KatieBellino]

I think as housing becomes scarce and there are environmental concerns, you will see more of these building concepts. We even have the tech to have indoor greenhouses right in a building.

[@nekokid]

Idk what went through my mind but listen. Imagine a scenario where there is one zombie-infected person which hasn't turned to zombie yet, going inside the building. A few hours after that, there is a raging snow storm outside isolating the residents in the building. I think it'll be an interesting movie if there is one such a kind.

[@coldhandsgirl]

Kinda like quarantine

I wish I was an American, I would have went there and lived my entire life there with a handful of people in a small remote location .. seems so adventorous.

Imagine not getting a long with someone in that building tho.

[@crewrangergaming9582]

@@car1it05WAY lol.. so true. Then I will find my small little room comfortable and cozy knowing there's wild bears and snow outside with subzero temperature. I will go to the bar on my own have some drinks and retreat back to my room, seems like a fun adventure to me.

[@dionnedeniseeveryday]

I visited Whittier Alaska Such a beautiful tiny place and a great train and ferry ride❤

[@haiderkhanali9555]

really how was your experience there

[@dionnedeniseeveryday]

@@haiderkhanali9555 it was awesome I had lunch did some hiking and waited at the train depot for a few hours for the train to take me to Anchorage to catch my flight back to the lower 48 states. I caught the ferry from Valdez into Whittier and it was a beautiful ride even seen some sea lions and Whales. You gotta visit sometime. It's a tiny beautiful place with mini waterfalls running down the mountains ❤️

wow congratulations

An average of minus five in winter is pretty good, I thought it would be much colder considering the location. Here in Toronto if we experienced minus five average during our winter season, we would be dancing with joy lol.

[@kikibaby541]

Im from Alaska and Whittier doesn't look like that. It's truly not just in the middle of nowhere...it's only like 2 hours from anchorage and there is a lot of other buildings in the area. It's a place a lot of people go to for fishing during the summer.

[@kfam5445]

I remember reading books in middle school called Sideways stories from Wayside School where it's about a school that's built like a vertical tower instead of a normal horizontal classroom style and has many short stories of every classroom with wacky silly plots...and this reminds me of that but towns people style.

[@vaishnav3992]

Ruhi, always comes with a unique history that one always misses!❤ 🫡

[@dwlucas92]

That's very interesting, i never knew about this, until i saw it here. Thank you very much, for taking the time , for this insight of this Alaskan area.
