Forrest, you do realize Alaska is in the middle of a recession don't you? There's a lot of people on this forum who are experiencing the same issues as you, and they live nowhere near a detached fourplex subdivision.

 Now you want to shut down some business because you can't sell your home during a recession? That business probably employees a lot of people.  Those people count on those jobs to take care of their families. Other local businesses probably count on those employees to support their businesses. 

Does all of that mean nothing to you?  You'd rather those people and businesses experience hardship out of spite?  The article clearly states these are well built homes so it sounds to me that frustration has the best of you at the moment. We've all been there. I'm sure things will turn around for you but trying to punish other people for your own situation never accomplishes anything.
