## Resource

Anchorage is transforming fast—crime’s down, homelessness’s being tackled, and the city’s cleaner than ever. Two years ago, prosecutor shortages and police vacancies fueled chaos; now, all prosecutor roles are filled, and thieves are being swiftly prosecuted. A small waste fee funded doubled cleanup crews for encampments, while police resources are being smartly reallocated—community officers handle minor accidents so cops can focus on serious stuff. Downtown’s getting a major upgrade: Town Square Park’s being renovated, a new library’s on the way thanks to state funds, and major streets are being upgraded for business. Quality of life is front and center—with trails being connected, bike paths expanding, and a brand-new pump track built entirely by local private donations. This isn’t just pretty—it’s strategic: making Anchorage safer, more attractive, and a smarter place to live and invest.
