True! I am in a unique situation myself.
And that kind of sums up a significant part of the 'Alaskan' thing in my view. A great many people come here/live here for the scenery (or something), but they resist the "unique" part (perhaps because there's often some significant challenges involved). So we end up with our fair share of Pittsburgh-lite, Minneapolis-lite, Atlanta-lite, and Portland-lite.
Did I ever mention that I hate plastic-clad homes in areas which have banned good ol' basic T1-11 as a siding? (Yes, they're doing it in Fairbanks,
Alaska.)
