Rob, I live in Juneau. Tell me what you're dreaming about, and I'll
send some of our non-stop rain for your mental parade.

Southeast Alaska is a wonderful place to visit, but the growing season
is cool and short. Land is scarce and expensive, and the cost of
living is unavoidably high, because of the transportation problems.
Because this is a tiny area (the largest town has about 30k people)
with a declining population and a declining economy, finding a job
which will let you afford to live here is tough.

The housing situation here is almost as bad as the situation in
California: the median family income will not really afford the median
home, and achieving the median family income requires that both
spouses work.
