Brand new tent set up along a street in Anchorage is one of many encampments that have popped up this summer. Many of the new encampments feature fresh-out-of-the-box tents, most likely provided by taxpayer-funded nonprofits.
Anchorage’s greenbelts are still persistent encampment zones, a city where summer brings not tourists but tarps, tents, and trash. Despite laws meant to prevent it, illegal camping sprawls unchecked across public lands. We give you an unfiltered look at the slow unraveling of Alaska’s largest city under Mayor Suzanne LaFrance and Democrat rule. These images tell the story:
Minnesota and Benson Blvd. outdoor living, walking distance to Starbucks.
The new tent encampment is between Starbucks and the Legislative Information Offices in the Wells Fargo Bank building.
Downtown Anchorage, along Flattop Pizza.
Nap time in downtown by Flattop Pizza.
While Mayor LaFrance pushed parents to bring children to a bike event in Town Square Park, vagrants moved over to the trees nearby, as an Anchorage Police officer keeps watch.
Pretty soon skAnchorage will be just like San Fransicko.
