I found this editorial in the Juneau Empire this morning, and thought it was worth quoting:
These days, we focus on the plummeting housing market nationwide and the possible dangers of Juneau residents getting trapped in ownership of houses that are worth less than they paid for them.
Just a few years ago, we brooded about the opposite. We feared the seemingly relentless increase in price, and the possible dangers of other Juneau residents getting trapped in their status as permanent renters because houses cost more than they could pay for them.
