Out of curiosity I looked up Whittier, Alaska, then I sat here and thought about what if I moved all the way from Pensacola FL to Whittier, Alaska, then I said to myself what is the odds of me or anyone else from Pensacola moving to a town that's 10 times smaller than here, then boom the first person on the video moved from Pensacola, Florida to Whittier. 😂🤣 how ironic is that?!?!

Koryuuda Yamadori actually, according to Andy Naselli, cults have the following 6 characteristics: Authoritarian leadership, Exclusivism, Isolationism, Opposition to Independent Thinking, Fear of being ousted, and threats of satanic attack. Put simply, most Christian churches don’t have any of these characteristics simply because they go against a biblical point of view.
Whittier, Alaska maybe the the few safe places in the world once nuclear war or zombie apocalypse happen because it's isolation and strong community. Other are isolated island like Tristan De La Cunha.
We don’t all live in one building but most everyone lives in two buildings. The rest of us live in a two-story condo building a little closer to the ocean and just passed the abandoned Buckner building
THIS IS FALSE. I lived in this town and there is a whole other apartment complex that has a lot of the town, but they don’t talk about that cause they want a story.
So your school teacher can come to see if you are doing homeworks, thats scary. You cant say you forgot the homework either. Teacher will ask you to fetch it since the school is nearby. On the bright side anything stolen will be found in that building. So either you catch the thief or the person buying stolen goods from the thief. Your doctor, plumber, police live next to you.
My grandfather was born in Whittier before Begich Towers was built, and lived in the trailer park that was there. He has pictures of when his family would have to tunnel their way out of the house because the snow was so deep. And every morning the military would fire off a howitzer cannon at 7:00 directly next to his trailer. Then walk across the street to school.
The dude who moved from sunny Florida to a small town with one building and only 200 ppl is trying to start a CULT and he’s using religion as a smoke screen
There's other buildings there. But the weather is so intense you have to build them to with stand intense winds and terrible weather. There's a saying that says "the weather is always shittier in Whittier". Whittier actually has the longest tunnel in the country too.
I really don’t want to know all of my neighbors or socialize with the same people. That underground tunnel that leads to the school is long and creepy.
I don't know why most people in the comment sections thinks that this Isolated Town is weird or worstly different from every consecutive part of the country. I think its Great and I would live in there. Not a lot people, good since I hate people. No virtually a crime to be difficultly solved. No Karen's, No Darren's, No Kyle's, No Blonde Tan Burger Eating person, and No Park Trailer society.
If living there makes you happy than it's good. I wouldn't want to know all my neighbours and have them judge my lifestyle though. Also, meeting exactly the same people day after day ? No thanks. Imagine if someone really hated you and wished to hurt you but there was no escape. A horror movie plot.
Is the pro-con thing about tight communities. You cannot be half way in. Was the same in human communities for centuries if not thousands of years, both cities and villages and nomad societies. "meeting exactly the same people day after day" are you on the move all the time? There are neighbors and colleagues in most arrangements. Especially if you move to a remote place.
I live in houston texas but several years ago i stayed in whittier alaska and i loved it it might have seemed boring at times but honestly i loved it the people were always so friendly. I stayed with my cousin santos and junior. My uncle albert caballero sent me here and it was awesome. One day ill go back. Carlos
pretty cool but this also means that if one idiot falls asleep with a cigarette or forgets to turn their stove off, an entire civilization is at risk. I hope they thought this through already before building it - Talk about percarious
There are many towns with this small of a population. This one just did it in one building because it’s energy efficient and the building was there anyway.
PlanetJeannie What's funny is that the KWC was not much bigger than this building, yet it had roughly 200X the amount of people in the buildings in this video.
Do you man, some enjoy just living indoors. Honestly, if I could, I'd buy an apartment there and go there as a vacation spot. Smoke, play some video games, help around, but never have to leave sounds like a good time to me.
What? That was 30 seconds of explaining the offices in the building and then the rest was about how close their community is. Yeah, you'd have to be close if you all lived together, but nobody actually ever said they all live there.

You might have heard of it. it's called FEMA.
Whitter Alaska is was beautiful 30 years ago I went to the mountains up and up to see acc to the world I dreamed about living there There was a bilding for sure You have to go there ..and the You to nothing You fallow the nothing if You go out.. on our way back it strted to get so cold I went to the top, on our way bak We ended up on a riber we took our clothoff toasted on the other site dive a cross dress up an continuing running down to the bilding I remember there were only two people the We had to spring to the ship. Iwoul love to go again and see on top of the moutains the ac of the world ..
I can't help but wonder how that guy's kids really feel about him moving them from Florida to Alaska simply because he had a "calling" to work there as a pastor. It seems a bit selfish to me, especially because his kids did not look happy in the video. I think that if my husband wanted our family to just leave everything behind and move to some extremely remote area to live basically trapped in a building crowded with other people in extremely cold and snowy weather, simply because he felt some kind of "calling," I would not be very happy about it, and nor would our son. But I suppose everyone is different.
So nobody owns there property???? And if you don't pay your rent you are kicked out of the town???? Well I guess that sounds like the penalty for not paying property taxes??? And whats this crap about EVERYONE is going to be there??? That lady is a lunatic.
Imagine how awkward it would be to get evicted from there

Soooo, WHY is everybody living in one building? Kinda the crux of the whole story and completely got left out.
Military built those (planned much more). When they left the entirely functional house it was a no-brainer to start using it.
