I'd say extrapolating Alaska to the rest of America is also a big problem in the point the author and her contact are trying to make.

- weeksie 14y agoAnchorage could be any random middle american town and it exhibits the same suburban sprawl issues. What problems do you see with the extrapolation?
- prawks 14y agoAmerica is not homogeneous. "Random middle America" I can't speak to, but certainly neither coast fits this article (from my experience). There doesn't seem to be mention of this in the article.
- weeksie 14y agoWow, that's exactly the opposite of my experience. Random middle American towns are a vast, bland expanse of strip malls, big box chain stores, suburban tract housing, and family dining restaurants. The towns that aren't like that are the exception.
