As far as humidity goes, the western region, the interior region, and the north slope are sometimes dry, so Alaska may not get a lot of humidity, at least not in the regions I mentioned.
I live in western AK and guess what...The humidity is pretty high. Not GA high, but high enough to where I have to run a dehumidifier.

As far as cost of living. I pay $1800 month for a small house with less than 1k sq feet.
I pay $7 for a gallon of gas.
I pay about $10 for a pound of ground beef.
It cost me $1000 to go to Anchorage for a weekend.
It cost me $2500 to get my car to my town.
I could go on. Alaska's bush communities are possibly the highest cost of living in the country (and I have lived in SoCal and Hawaii). Anchorage would be compareable to other places, but the bush is a whole different ball game.
