In the state of Alaska (USA) is a very unusual town of Whittier. Only 220 people live in it. In principle, nothing special this is not surprising, because similar settlements are scattered throughout America. Whittier is unique in that its entire population lives in one 14-story building.
Built in 1956, the building was first an army barracks. Today, in addition to residential apartments, there is a school in the city-house, church, shops, a small clinic and even a police station. Most of the townspeople are deep sea port workers, located nearby. For locals also built several cafes, a fitness center located nearby (right up to the end) with home town.
Such cohabitation of citizens allows them to do well save on heating, however, not only that. Imagine myself, most of the time over Whittier either snows or pours cold rain, besides the wind constantly rages. And in a house-city is not only warm and dry, say, to children, housewives, retirees do not have to go out in such terrible weather the street. Yes, and young people living in Whittier are increasingly earning living on the Internet, which allows them to “not go” for the limits of the hometown.
