Anchorage - Can we live without a car?
My husband has applied for a job and I will be going to school. If all goes to plan, after my degree we will be going into the bush to teach. So is it possible to live in Anchorage for about three years without a car? Is the public transportation reliable and available? We will already be on limited funds and I hate having a car anyway.
Also, I have just skimmed the classifieds in preparation and it seems housing is hard to find if we have pets. Is it really that hard to find a place to live if we have a St. Bernard and a Bloodhound? They are both good doggies and I have read up on the leash laws and we know our responsibilities. My husband spent 19 years of his life in Alaska so he knows a little more than me what to expect but some things have changed it seems, including rental prices. Thanks in advance.
