Anchorage doesn't have enough homes to meet demand - BY DEVIN KELLY

Anchorage doesn't have enough homes to meet demand | Anchorage | ADN.com:

The Hoods' situation reflects the increasingly visible problem of "housing gridlock" in Anchorage. People at all income levels can't afford to move up in the market, so the buyers below them can't move up, either.

Not enough houses and apartments are being built to meet current and future demand, analysts say. Housing costs are rising, forcing families to make tough financial decisions.

Local business leaders are warning that the trend threatens to hurt the local economy. When it comes to housing, Anchorage is the 20th most expensive city in the United States, according to a recent national cost-of-living survey. Businesses large and small say the cost of housing is making it more difficult to hire and keep workers.

A growing pool of data compiled by United Way of Anchorage consultants hints at the scope of the problem. Some examples:

• An Anchorage household must earn $100,000 a year to afford an average-priced home, $65,000 a year to afford a condo and $50,000 a year to rent a two-bedroom apartment.

• According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, "affordable" is defined as paying 30 percent or less of household income for housing. About half of Anchorage renters pay 30 percent of their income in housing. A fifth of Anchorage renters pay 50 percent or more.

• Workers in 21 of the 25 most common jobs in Anchorage cannot afford a two-bedroom apartment, and workers in 18 of these jobs cannot afford a one-bedroom rental apartment.

State fisheries board approves long-awaited Kenai kings plan

"Big changes are coming to the Kenai River this summer.

The Alaska Board of Fisheries on Wednesday approved new ways to protect precariously low numbers of late-run Kenai kings that members say splits the burden between sport anglers and commercial setnet fishermen.

The decision to tweak the Kenai River late-run king salmon plan, one of the most anticipated actions of a two-week session at Anchorage's Egan Center, came in a 6-1 vote and adds several new tools to existing rules.

The seven-member board's action Wednesday for the first time codifies "paired restrictions" that give state fish managers the authority to reduce both sport and commercial fishing in Cook Inlet if king numbers look low.

The trigger: Alaska Department of Fish and Game estimates that fewer than 22,500 kings will swim past a sonar counter about eight miles up the Kenai."
