## Resource

Anchorage just spent $15.6 million on a barely over-a-mile trail—called a “connector” by officials and hailed as a community win—while critics question the fiscal sense, especially when affordable housing and other urgent needs go unfunded. The flashy project includes a cultural plaza honoring the Dena’ina, but many argue it’s a misplaced priority, spotlighting a troubling trend of chasing big-ticket projects over real community needs.
