Just another dirty city?

I've lived near the center of Anchorage for 20 years. Traffic has increased tremendously. Gang related crime was not recognized by the local police in 1990, but it was here. Now they can't help but notice it. Residents don't have much confidence in their ability to deal with it. If you like to hunt and fish, etc, this is the place to be. If not, this is just another dirty city. Really, it ain't nothin special. And the winters are long, dark, and lest I forget to mention . . . cruel. If you like to garden. . .forget it. The season is too short. You can't grow much in two and a half months of summer.
