Hard to say. It's entirely possible that there is no heavy equipment suitable for house moving and this is all just for cranes, dozers and telephone poles to roll houses on, not to mention barges and tugs. The ground is pretty soft, so moving big loads may be problematic, and they probably don't have a dock with a lot of house loading provisions, so maybe all that would need fixed to move houses. Could also be that existing housing is too fragile to move, conditions are mighty rough out west. But, it could also be a tiny bit of pork helping out some disadvantaged people in the boonies. Maybe a combination of all of them I guess my main point is that things are surprisingly tricky in the arctic, far away from developed places
