No bro, there's alot of shit going on here this video doesn't touch on. My grandfather lived here, and people many times broke into his basement apartment, he is in his 80s and a Vietnam veteran. My uncle, his son who was taking care of him tragically died one day right in front of him. People kept stealing his van, and even stealing parts from it and his brand new battery. The neighbor was trying to get him to make him the payee on his social security money. We got him out of there because of the terrible conditions. There was someone cooking meth in the building and the FBI raided and seized the whole 4 plex apartment and everyone had to move out or be arrested. Another good example some pos lunatic broke into an elderly couples apartment, grandparents to someone, and raped and murdered both of them HE DID NOT EVEN KNOW THEM COMPLETELY RANDOM. There's good people here, but there is plenty of terrible people just looking for any come up they can as well. There is plenty of shootings and drugs prostitution and thievery going on there. There's alot of rapes that occur there. I have many stories about this neighborhood that are bad. One guy killed his wife and buried her in the woods next to the neighborhood and a dog found the burial site a few months later. When I was 18 someone from this neighborhood killed 2 18 and 19 year old kids in a truck with an AR 15 rifle over very petty reasons, now he's doing life for a double homicide. His getaway driver for that crime was a gay dude who liked to rape small men in prison, he was eventually stabbed to death and thrown off the top tier in the max prison in the state of Alaska. He got what was coming to him he was a predator.

This video does not tell the true story of Mountain View. It's dangerous to live there. Some of the blocks are worse than others. There is always a criminal investigation. You can't drive down there without seeing the police stopped at someone's place. This video is not a complete look into Mtn View.

I didn't feel the rigid racial divide that is felt in so many places in the Lower 48. My girls had friends of all races, so did I. We all hung together. Alaska is a different vibe. I think being so far removed from the rest of America, trying to survive in a harsh, unforgiving environment where a mistake in winter could cost you your life makes people more considerate of each other. Don't get me wrong, racism exists in Alaska, but I think people are willing to be more considerate of each other without all the petty racial BS because anything can happen. When your car is stuck after a 10-inch snowfall, you don't care who comes to help you get out. You have to cooperate, because racism is stupid!

Mountain View was the "USA Neighborhood of the Year" in 1989 for the steps they'd taken towards cleaning things up, but it's been a tough battle for them. I remember as a college intern for the city, I was sent to evaluate the pavement there and we had people throwing rocks at our van because it had government plates on it. I love seeing the people who are lifting rather than leaving their community. It's awesome to see them highlighted because it doesn't get reported nearly as often.

I had the pleasure of living in anchorage back in the late 80’s. My family was stationed at Elmendorf AFB. I didn’t get the full experience because I was still in high school but just seeing the images of downtown, 5th avenue Mall and hearing familiar locations like Muldoon brings back memories. Waiting for the bus in the frigid cold and watched the Northern Lights, looked like angels floating across the sky. I remember riding the People Mover public transportation. I remember wings and things restaurant. To this day I need blackout curtains in my bedroom because late sunsets in Alaska. I vaguely remember Mountain View but I don’t recall it being a “bad neighborhood” in 1988. I could definitely be wrong. I have friends that were there because of the Elmendorf and Fort Rich but after they graduated from high school they made anchorage home. It was a beautiful state. We definitely still reminisce about those dividend checks…

@laja6108 Год назад

This is a very clean cut version of Mountain View. I went to Bartlett Highschool and I knew girls who had been raped there, people who had bullet holes in their houses, and an old friend was murdered there. I even met people running from the law in the lower48 who stayed there only to be later extradited (it’s a big thing in Alaska). I’m sure it seems alright as a tourist but I’d be cautious of anyone watching this who thinks it’s homely and not that bad. I’m glad they are cleaning it up but nearly everyone I knew that stayed behind eventually left or is trying to leave. When the winter sets in, the sun is barely up, people get anxious and into trouble fueled by drugs and alcohol. Couldn’t pay me enough to live there, not even the yearly dividend.

I live in Anchorage also & lived on the W edge of the Fairview neighborhood for 20 something years. To be honest I also had kind of a negative view of Mt View but I loved this video. I'd read & heard things to the effect that Mt View was becoming a much more cohesive neighborhood with more development which is great. Cook Inlet Housing has done terrific things for many neighborhoods in Anchorage. A year ago before I made a move I needed to give away a lot of my books & a friend took me around town so we could put them in several Little Free Libraries & we drove to Mt View to put some in the Little Library near the Boys & Girls club. I hadn't been in the neighborhood for many years & was surprised at how much nicer it seemed than I remembered from the 90's. I've lived in the 99501 zip code of Anchorage since about 1995, (W Fairview & downtown areas.) and recently moved to another neighborhood but this video of Mt View is really great in increasing my respect for what's been accomplished in this area!

This reminds me of the lower enlisted neighborhoods on the army bases I grew up in in the 80s and 90s. Very, very diverse, no racial issues. First of all, commanders of units took very badly to hearing that there were any racial issues involving one of his soldiers or the family of his soldier. That just didn’t fly in the army so much. It happened here and there, but this neighborhood really reminds me of what we experienced, we were all poor, crime wasn’t a big problem but there was crime. And really was very mixed and race wasn’t an issue which is really atypical it seems because the establishment has done everything in its power to keep mainstream American society racially divided. Here we see that it could be done rather seamlessly as long as the politicians stop grifting so much.
