Why is this town so ugly?

So, I've been in this little town of Anchorage for just over a year.  Frankly I think it sucks!  It's been said that one either likes Alaska or hates it.  I'll let you be the judge of which group I belong.

In the weeks and months that follow,  I'll give examples of why I think Anchorage sucks.  Those of you out there that happen to enjoy life here, please post your thoughts; who knows, maybe you'll change my mind (fat chance but...).  First of all, I have to admit that the backdrop of the city is actually knid of lovely,  however the city planners must have had thier heads up their (well you know) when they slapped this place together.  Ever hear of zoning laws?  Public spaces? SIDEWALKS?  Are we all here for the money to be made raping the environment?  I is that why the city is so crappy?   Anyone ever been to a "real" city?  Mr. Mayor? 

I've heard a lot of BS excuses for the poor state of this city, some crap about it being young, what?  Alaska has had statehood for 50 years, sorry not buying that one.  Money, ha!  This is the richest state in the F-ing Union and you can't even get decent bus service.  The bus stops aren't even covered!  Oh, here's a stretch... heated bus stops (winter is 7 months!) Where the F does the money go?  Oh yea, the PF f*&king D! F that!  The state gives each *sshole $2000 a year, give or take, from the revenue generated from sale of oil.  Great, give the plebs some dough and maybe they'll go.  Yea go buy  a new plasma TV, a new snowmobile.  It's a joke! The high school dropout rate is in the top 10 WORST in the Nation!  Maybe that money could go towards improving the schools here?  Maybe consider paying a bit more to attract better teachers?  No, it goes to A-holes like my neighbor who sits around on his fat a** all day in front of the TV (plasma that is) and pounds the f*^k out of my ceiling all day! Loser!  The A-hole lives for free off the state government, but the red staters up here call Obama a socialist.
I wish that f-er would get a job!

This place is a joke!   Don't believe me, then I can sum it up just two simple words: Shara Palin!

Next... Alaska Fashion (LOL)

But I'm single now and 50 and anyone or most women by the time they get my age are road hard and hung out to dry, Alaska is rough on the ladys so time for me to go.

Addy? Really come on, I've been here for 4 years and counting and the only reason why I'm staying is for the work.

Pros:
1. Clean air
2. Slow pace of life, good place to be living healthy.
3. People are nice in some parts.

Cons:
1. City Planner; really are you guys retarded?
2. Really crappy shopping
3. Restaurants suck big time here
4. Addy proves to be ignorant and uneducated so that proves that point.
5. Roads? Blah
6. Just so dame boring

And Addy, have you been to real beach before?

Sometimes its just dame depressing that we just have to live here just so we can work and make a living.

Anchorage is still a shit hole and is sucking more and more. Violence is the norm for the police (never will you find an intrepid PEACE officer.) As far as the air being clean, that is laughable, so many idiots burning garbage in their wasteful fireplaces, the dust and contamination from a few of anchorages aggregate and paving companies really contaminate the air here. The lack of compassion from the public about anything is a sure sign ANCHORAGE IS NOT A COMMUNITY, BUT A LARGE GROUP OF SELFISH ASSHOLES!!! The only people who think like Addy (sorry to pick on you Addy) are the people that were born here and have never been outside the state. And now to make things worse you have a fundamentalist governer who is going to be giving away the state to the oil companies for no reason other than he believes the tremendous cash reserves from Conico Philips is going to magicaly trickle down to everyone else as long as there are greater taxpayer subsidies. Seriously, fuck Anchorage, fuck Alaska, there are many places in the world to do outdoor stuff in. I grew up in southeast AK, then mistakenly moved to Anchorage in the late 90's now I have had my fill of the arrogant silly small minded people who predominately exist because they were either carpet baggers or their parents were who claim to be real Alaskans.

Anchorage is a shithole. I've had my apartment broken into on a daily bases, phone hacked, computer hacked, stalked, you name it. This is how Skankorage treats their veterans. It's the worst city in the United States. Been living here for over 11 years, if the job situation was better in the lower 48 I'd be gone already. Anchorage should change the name of their city to simply: Shithole. And you must have an IQ of zero is you don't agree with me, otherwise you're part of the problem.

Anchorage sucks... On Sundays... Because Golden Donuts is closed. And it sucks in the Summer. When everything closes at 9pm and it still looks like it's 3pm outside. You know what else sucks about Anchorage? We have NO music scene. It's so non-existent that artists fly up here and perform at Williwaw. There's just no demand for it here... Or maybe no suitable venue.

You know why else Anchorage sucks? Because people keep listing houses as FHA loan compatible when they aren't. Learn how to list your properties and quit being slobs about it. Every time someone has to negotiate a loan through a lender-- it drops their credit score after approval. Then when they go to close on a house and cannot close... Well, it's because your dumb ass listed the property incorrectly. Good job!

You know why else Anchorage sucks? All these racist, drunk, entitled natives on medicaid that steal bikes from the midtown Walmart and terrorize Russian Jack Park.

It also sucks because none of you can drive with a purpose. Going 20 mph on a 65. I've even seen a lady drive the opposite direction down a one way. Hope she's still alive, god bless. Also, the food here is awesome IF you head to Muldoon--Or go to Crush or Glacier Brewhouse downtown. But none of you can cook hashbrowns correctly. They're usually raw or cold in the middle and that's the bane of my existence. Please learn how to make your biscuits fluffy Snow city cafe. Also... Please learn how to make a deep dish pizza Moose's Tooth. That flatbread that you smother in shoestring carrots is not a pizza. It's a travesty. And for a place that houses a mexican consulate general-- Anchorage is SEVERELY lacking in authentic mexican food. Step up your game.
