Many places in AK are remote and have piss poor access. When we move into these places we accept this or we should not move there!
As I'm sure you are aware, just as people don't choose their parents, many/most of the people in the rural areas didn't choose these places. (There's a California thread elsewhere in the forum that might help with an understanding of why people have a hard time moving from where they started out.)
Kivilina homes use honey buckets....Should the state or feds dump millions into the community because they choose not to relocate off of that sand bar? no......
And there's 39 other rural communities in the same boat, even though they don't all have sand bar issues to blame.
