Review of Anchorage, Alaska

People complaining about Alaska making no sense
Star Rating - 1/2/2013
Ok, for all of those complaining and wining about the state let me start by telling you that i don't live there but will be moving soon. But let me go ahead and go to the point. If you think you are paying to much for an apartment there come to Houston where i am paying $1355 a month in a real nice place and 770 sqft. that at night you hear nothing but gunshots, the ambulance, police etc from the evening till the morning!!!! i am moving there to find peace in a real nice place and enjoy what life has for all of us. If Seasons changes why don't you? Stop complaining and find a way to improve and change from wining to start living a better life. Nothing it's free in live and someone has to sacrifice, so may as well be you to improve YOU!!! Sorry!

I moved from Hawaii (yes!) to Anchorage almost 30 years ago and have never regretted it! Many of my experiences in HI were very much like yours in Houston. I like to say that when I moved to Anchorage, I 'graduated' to being able to live in poverty as a single person alone, rather than living in poverty with roomates in Hawaii! lol. Life got steadily better over the years, with great job opportunities, and now I'm retired and can visit Hawaii instead! Still love and live in Alaska, and if you can stand the long, cold and very dark winters, you'll do fine! Good luck :-)
