Alaska Politics

My mind was blown. My lease is ending in a couple months and was consider getting a new place in Anchorage but after looking into all these listings I've notice that a 2bedroom 1bath in a decent part of town sky rocketed from 1,300 all the way to 2k+.

How are landlords able to get away this blatent abuse. In no way can the average person spend close to 40-50% of there income on housing alone.

The average income in Alaska is $35k that's before taxes. With the introduction of sales tax and this blatant abuse of power these landlords own they are squeezing the everyman out of the state.

Countless people work 60-80hours per week to scrape by and nothing is done to fix this slave driving mindset our state has.

We struggle with homelessness already so why push more into the same situation.
