i like how alaska is included in this like the majority of it is populated lmao.
of course it's only "walkable" you have to hike over mountains and through forests to see it
Alaska is the place where you generaly live close enough to walk to work, live in a big city, don't commute, or don't work.
That last option actually works in rural areas because subsistance makes hunting/fishing a viable option.
brother... The red part of alaska is half in the the arctic circle. The majority of the alaskan population lives in the little pullout coastline bit, afaik.
Literally nobody lives in the northern part except for longhaul truckers, and hunters.
though to be fair, im sure some portion of the population lives in a walkable area, i just think it's mostly disingenuous.
I believe it, I just wonder what edge case makes this possible?
Like is it people living on farms, or oil rigs?
i think it's probably the fact that alaska is a really rough environment, and cars are generally not fond of those.
Like i said the majority of that doesn't have people living in it, so it's literally only walkable because there is no infrastructure what so ever. It's just cabins in the middle of nowhere.
The coast line i think is walkable primarily due to the unique economy and residential housing structures. You're not going to move far from where the work is in a place like alaska, you don't exactly get that luxury, so you're automatically in a more walkable "economy"
i believe a significant portion of the alaskan economy is fishing. Farming to my knowledge basically doesn't happen at scale, oil is another significant portion, but then again, that probably requires vehicles, so.
