Mind you, this happens in a vast country that has more than enough room to build a home for every individual citizen and it wouldn't even look crammed.

If every human on the planet got 100m^(2) of space, which is more than ample for anyone, with at most requiring two story buildings, the state of Texas alone would be enough to house all of humanity.

Refusing a building permit, in a state like Alaska is insanity.

The state of alaska has no building permit requirement. Some, but not all, municipalities have their own

But what about preserving all the open space!!!

^ half sarcasm half not.

I totally agree with you. But some places in Alaska shouldn’t be built on. However, near me, a 334 badly needed units were denied and the land was made conservation land. It’s a freaking defunct oil field!
