Tired of all the traffic..the crime rate..cost of living? This is just for you!
In a modern twist on the homesteading movement that populated the Plains in the 1800s, the community of 300 people is offering 26 large lots on spruce-covered land in a part of Alaska that has spectacular views of the Northern lights and Mount McKinley, North America's highest peak.
Anderson, a little town in Alaska's interior, has no gas station, no grocery store and no traffic lights, but it does have plenty of woodsy land — and it's free to anyone willing to put down roots in the often-frozen ground.
And what's an occasional day of 60-below cold in a town removed from big-city ills?
You do have to put up a house within two years, but among the advantages are no property taxes, state income taxes or sales tax, virtually no crime, and no traffic.
You can see the city's website HERE news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070316/ap_on_re_us/free_alaska_land
So what do you think? Sound tempting? Would you be willing to move to a location such as this one?
Not me! I don't care if a free house was included! I hate being cold!!!
