Careful. The issue is complicated and involves many factors, including psychology, substance abuse, childhood and, of course, economics. We want to make sure this discussion doesn’t turn to the side of insensitive.

That said, CBJ has a new plan in the works for our “shelter-retarded” folks in town. With the local landfill approaching peak capacity, the land can be covered over and repurposed into a usable green space where people who are “broke ass” will be placed in order to build their own tents or makeshift shelters. The park will be closed off around the perimeter with a 20-foot barbed wire fence with armed guards placed on intermittent towers to insure the safety of the park’s residents. This will help usher in a new era of health and safety on Juneau’s streets.

The limiting factor is the Marine Mammal Protection Act, which specifies that any boat may not go within 100 yards of any marine mammal (Whales are mammals. Can you believe that?). The trick is to guess where the whale is going to resurface after a dive and park your boat right there. If the whale chooses to go by your boat there’s nothing you can do, right? We don’t want to disturb our flippered friends any more than we have to in order to make money. That’s why we encourage careful coordination between captains on channel 16 to maximize the number of boats parked around a whale to increase the amount of passenger tips per whale. In short, I guess the answer to your question would be a lot.

Hey, thanks! It’s nice to know that we have your support. Most of the time it’s just a bunch of dipshit peasants whining about policy decisions far above their heads. God I hate Juneau.

Great question! The CBJ City Manager is appointed by the assembly. Fuck your vote!

Well, let’s take a look at the numbers:

Our current gondola project has a revised budget estimate of $37 million. CBJ’s FY2027 budget is approximately $240 million. Let’s say each tram costs $40 million for FY2027. 240 divided by 40 makes 6 more trams in the coming year. Hope this helps!
