If they can't, then load up and move to a better opportunity for their families: it's what all animal life has been doing for hundreds of thousands of years.

See post above. Alaska is new to civilization compared to the lower 48. It's not as simple as "just move!" And to put that out there as an option is like I said, an uneducated response to the socioeconomic culture that is here.

I won't hold my breath for any urban planning design theories in this thread.

Hopefully this works

If people want to live in the middle of nowhere in Alaska then they have two choices.
1. The state of Alaska can subsidize it's own EAS routes. (Why is it the responsibility of the people living in Florida or NY to "subsidize their way of life"?)
-or-
2. They can pay the market value for air service. Planes will come but they're just going to have to pay the price.

Well, FL doesn't have any EAS routes, but NY does. Currently, states do not subsidize their own EAS routes. So...?

It's not the responsibility of NYers to subsidize their heritage or way of life. No one forced them to lived there.
It's just as wrong for you to want to put a gun to the head of tax payers living in southern Florida to pay to preserve their heritage through EAS.

And yes. It's wrong to have EAS routes in NY paid for by people in Alaska.
EAS = wrong.
Period.
EAS = wrong.
Period.

I'm not arguing whether or not EAS is right or wrong. I'm not scandalized by the fact some people want it gone.
I am irritated of the response "they should MOVE!" please don't generalize a complicated issue with a three word response. It's deeper than that.

Moving is a very normal, and healthy, reaction to changing socioeconomic, political, or cultural Conditions in a society.
The argument to move is not an oversimplification. It's a fact of life.
So yes. If conditions are that difficult, then move.
