text: Tim: you are making a lot of unsupported assumptions. You do not anything about me yet you suggest I am not being honest. I have owned the home for many years and make no apology for its current value. I am on a limited retirement benefit and the real property tax is quite burdensome. While I receive the PFD there are no others in my house to receive it. I do not know what you are inferring about me enjoying a prospective ride on a gravy train. But it sounds a bit insulting. The cost of living in Alaska is about to go up with taxes and a reduction in the PFD. With cut backs it is likely that home values will go down. And you might not be aware that the tax code will not tax me for the gain in my house so that is a factor in deciding to move and not , as you claim, a reason for staying. All of these factors have led me to conclude that it has finally got to the point that I can no longer afford to live in Alaska. Why would you insult a senior for making such a decision?
