We can't create policy around a few liberal hellholes that allowed their cost of living to go so high because of unions and taxation.
When we think of expensive states, New York and California are generally the first ones to come to mind. We often forget about the high cost of living in
Alaska. In Anchorage, you're going to pay around $70 (or more) for Internet (6 Mbps, Unlimited Data, Cable/ADSL), which is considerably high compared to many other locations.
The median list price of homes in the large state are $252,000. Homes cost much more in Juneau (where the median is around $315,000) than in Kenai (where the median sits at around $200,000). Food is also priced high, and of you go out to dinner and a movie with a friend, you're looking at a bill of $85 or so.
