No, caribou and moose are different animals, but they are both members of the deer family, Adult caribou are 3.6-4.6 ft tall at the shoulder and weigh 240-500 lbs, while adult moose can be almost 6 ft tall and weigh 800-1,600 lbs.
On another note - building more affordable housing in low population states doesn't happen for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that developers have to pay for all the infrastructure that comes with residential development - roads, utilities, etc. which drives the prices of the homes constructed significantly; plus they have to lure in the businesses needed to support the residents - things like grocery stores, clinics, home depot, etc. Whereas, in a state like California there is such a housing shortage that cities will pay the costs of infrastructure development to lure in residential development.
In Alaska, you've got to remember that it's so far north that, depending upon where you live, there are times of the year when it's dark 24 hours a day and daylight 24 hours per day. I've had friends and family tell me that, although it's stunningly beautiful in Alaska, the constant daylight vs. darkness can drive you nuts and throw off your circadian rhythm.
Only about 15,000 Alaskans live north of the Arctic Circle where that is literally true. London, where Kabir lives, is actually north of the southernmost point in Alaska
@ It gets dark for most of the day in winter and stays light more of the night in summer, but the Arctic Circle defines the latitude at which the Sun never sets on June 21st, and the Sun never rises on December 21st
I grew up in far western Nebraska, lived in Fairbanks, Alaska for 3 yrs, lived in Rapid City, South Dakota for 6 yrs. All of these places are beautiful but tough weather. There is a lot of ranching but fairly short growing seasons. Large animals for ranching in Alaska have to be kept in heated barns during the 9 month long winter. To cost prohibited. The isolation gets to a lot of people but there are those who need the isolation. They don't always play or work well with other people. I loved living in them all. You are just proud of surviving in Alaska. - 58 ° was our lowest, up to the 90°s in the very short summer.
The amount given from the government annually for living in Alaska in 2023 was $1312. Not a lot when you factor in high prices and a really tough environment. Peace …
I live in Alaska and for 12 years I lived remote. Currently I'm in Anchorage, but I plan to move back to a remote area of Alaska again. It's my favorite state.
Ok so as a North Dakota resident whose family farms here since 1906. The primary business's of the state are oil production, agricultural production, electricity and finally manufacturing. Oil production is around 1.2 million barrels per day which is at today's (11/ 28) prices equals 30.2 billion US dollars per year. Ag production is around 2 billion and manufacturing is about 3 billion ( major manufacturers are case new Holland ei cnh large 4wd tractors and wheeled payloaders, Dosan Bobcat Corp. multiple construction equipment. John deere planting equipment and Horsch Anderson planting and tillage. Top producer of hard red spring wheat, sunflowers and honey (19 years running for the last one). Just fyi the most expensive tractor built at the cnh plant in Fargo, ND is the cnh 715 horse power quad track around a million us dollars
Being 73 Years Old, I would Not want to live more than 15 Minutes away from a Major Hospital! Where I live in Allentown, Pa I'm within 12 Minutes of FOUR Major Hospitals! Thank Goodness!
My husband used to have a boss who lived in Maine. And her husband was telling me how they had to stock pile food etc, just in case they got snow in. My husband has a friend who lives in Alaska. He gets more money in his check but the cost of living there is higher. My husband and I at one time thinking of moving to Vermont. But decided not to.
Perception is fun. Strictly speaking, every state that borders Canada from Minnesota westward is farther north than Maine. Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver and Winnipeg are the only large Canadian cities north of Seattle. Yes, the climate is cold, but it also is lacking in arable land, and/or natural resources. Also - most of the northern forests are privately owned land - we are talking roughly 20 Million acres.
No, Moose are not Caribou - Caribou are closely related to Reindeer. Moose are significantly larger (basically twice as large) with distinctively spatulate antlers.
I live in Maine, in the middle of the woods. We are due 12 inches of snow tonight. No worries, I'm well prepared for that :) Many people don't like the cold, sometimes -30 degrees Fahrenheit during the winter, however, you don't always have neighbors breathing down your neck here in the woods. I love that we have a low population. I've lived in densely populated cities, no fun. I'll take the wilderness, thank you very much.
Those 2 million Businesses are not actually "based" in Delaware, they are formed in Delaware and have an address in Delaware that is often just a mail forwarding business. I live in South Dakota. Today is the day after Thanksgiving and we have 3 inches of snow and the high temperature here today was -1° F. After Covid, most South Dakotans are hating on "remote workers." Wages here are not very high except in Sioux Falls in the southeast corner of the states. But during covid when the Tech Companies on the west coast told their workers that they could live anywhere they wanted to and work remotely they people from the coast that have always "berated" and laughed at people in "Fly-over Country" flocked to the region with their fat Tech Jobs and bought up the houses, often for cash, and caused the prices of homes to more than double so that now the people who are working class can no longer afford to buy a home. In 2019, a new construction 1,100 sq ft attached home (construction where two homes share a center common wall) cost approx. $225K Since 2023 that starter home costs $428K and most workers here make between $15 - $20/hr. Also, just because land is empty doesn't mean it is cheap, Class 1 & 2 Agricultural land is expensive. About the cheapest land in America is in the desert southwest, but without a lot of development like Las Vegas has, no one wants to live there because it is often 115° F during 5 months of the year and it freezes hard at night in the winter.
You mentioned that eventually some of the major U.S. cities will become so expensive to live that people will begin to move out. That's already happened, and began years ago. There are many, many people who would choose to live in N.Y.C., Honolulu, Seattle and the like who have either had to leave, or regretfully opted not to move there, simply because those places are unaffordable...with only the rich and super-rich staying or relocating to those places. This results in a circle, the result of which is that more and more housng is built for the uber-high income types, while simultaneously the exodus of locals and increase of impoverished homeless grows. Welcome to capitalism and the market economy on steroids.
Did he say 3 hour drive to a supermarket? I think I’ve only driven in the UK for 3 hours during rush hour when a tunnel was closed, on a motorway I could drive to Wales or France in 3 hours
Kabir ur logic seems sound so I will explain it on ur terms. Why don't most Brits just live in Scotland then? Alaska is exactly like Siberia. If u were a home developer why do UK developers go to Siberia and build homes their even if the UK owns Siberia.
The reason why they don’t live in those areas because those people that do live there do not want them to so they raise the tax is so high that they can’t afford to live there
No, moose are not the same as caribou. Rhode Island and Delaware shouldn’t be on the list of “empty states”. Wyoming is beautiful is its emptiness. I drove through southern Wyoming a few years ago. Talk about wide open spaces and being surrounded by nothing but beautiful empty expanses as far as you can see. The vast high desert is breathtaking.
No a moose is not the same of a caribou it's much bigger it also doesn't look like a caribou its face is rounder where are caribou's faces closer to a deer or an elk or an elk.
You watched the video... and didn't learn a damn thing! When a person is "struggling," they want to be near things that will help them survive: 1. government assistance (food, rent, shelter, water, power) 2. church 3. food pantries These are found in metropolitan areas, not empty spaces of wilderness. Kabir wouldn't last a week in Alaska, let alone 6 months. How much do you want to bet that he can't build and start a fire, can't fish, can't hunt, can't trap, can't build a shelter, can't identify edible plants, never shot a gun, and has no first aid skills?
Who Pissed in your Cornflakes Brother? I was in the Military and I can do all that stuff but at 73 .... I'd rather not! As I said above I'd rather be 12 Minutes from a Hospital!

Living in remote areas is hard. Being hours away from supplies and medical help, isn't very appealing to many people.

@@solvingpolitics3172 It depends on how far north of the Arctic Circle you are. The further north, the longer that all dark and all light periods

The residence in Alaska get paid annually, it varies. It comes from oil and mining shared revenue.
It's Less than $1,200 a Year .... Not Worth It!
"Hey" from the Tampa Bay area of Florida, USA, Happy Thanksgiving from the sunshine state. Hope all is well.
Have fun and be safe.

Moose and Caribou are completely different animals. Reindeer and Caribou are the same thing.
But both are deer.
The last I heard about the yearly payment was about $1700 per person for a year
No! Caribou is the actual name of Reindeer. Moose can be as big as an SUV

Welcome to capitalism and the market economy on steroids.
When businesses are heavily taxed, they can sell their goods at lower prices.
I was wrong its 9 billion in agricultural production
wall Drug is not a pharmacy I,t is a tourist attraction.
If there was ever a video with Wall Drug, South of the Border, and Rock City, it would be a great one for Kabir to consider viewing.
Overall, most don't want to live a hard life. Very fulfilling but "you are dependent on you" for survival.
