Opinions about subdivision.

[caswellian]

I live near Talkeetna, Ak, about 4 miles down a gravel road that will shake your fillings out in the Summer, can become impassable after a few feet of snow has fallen overnight and becomes a series of lakes during the spring breakup.
I often commute daily, to and from Anchorage for work, 200 miles round trip.
Dangers also include avoiding moose, which can break you and your vehicle. We also experience huge forest fires and "BIG" earthquakes, on occasion.

I will gladly replace subzero winters for some 80's and take a chance that lava doesnt wreck my dream, at least in my lifetime.
