Alaska's Most Dangerous Hood - What It Really Looks Like 🇺🇸

Today we walk the streets of what many Alaskans call the most dangerous place in the state. Mountain View--a neighborhood in Anchorage--has a terrible reputation, but what does it feel like to walk around there for an afternoon? Join me as we meet the locals and learn about their way of life.

I envy the closeness of this community. No separation of race, just people helping and loving people.

I went to Alaska a while back and the people treated me like a long lost cousin!! Hitchhiking daily, some folks went miles out of their way to take us to the best places!! Thank you Alaskans and thank you Peter!!

Internet can virtually take you places you never thought you ever see, Just love geography.. Great job Watching from Kenya

[irenefitzkee]

This community reminds me of the neighborhood I grew up in. Everyone knew everyone and looked out for each other. I wish more neighborhoods were like this. It’s not about money. It’s about people.

So refreshing to see normal people all across America. Just humans, relatable people that make you remember how beautiful this country is. All walks of life

[RamblinAround]

Man, you were lucky to meet Jasmine, she really has her finger on the pulse of the neighborhood. It was great to see her perspective and see her commitment to the people of the area.

[NikkyElso]

I'm really glad you got a chance to talk with Dave, he's really one of the best Anchorage has to offer. Having worked with him, he's really as down to earth and for the community as he seems.

[metalfabman]

I absolutely love your across the country interviews with all of the down to earth average Americans from Appalachia to Anchorage, you have found a real niche with youtube, and I know people really enjoy the way you interact with everyone. Thanks for your great series!!

[ceilconstante]

I love the way Peter shows us places! Jasmine was a great guide and an amazing lady! No hype or news sensationalism. Just a nice pace, meeting real people, seeing local places and Peter's easy conversation style of asking the questions we're interested in without prying or ever making anyone feel uncomfortable.

[NeoYorquinaU]

Wow, the stereotype of media has my mind thinking of Alaska of a cold place where people live miles away from each other. I grew up in New York City and didn’t expect Alaska to be this diverse. Thank you for sharing and changing my perspective of Alaska! I can honestly say that I’m interested in visiting now (and never had interest prior to this video)! ❤

6 years ago I was working for the natural gas company in Anchorage, and I conducted a leak survey on the entire neighborhood of Mountain View. I visited every. single yard. I saw some wild things. The gray apartments that she said were new were such a great addition, because holy shit the buildings that were there before were terrifying. Definitely an improvement to their neighborhood.

[multirotormanish]

Mountain View is the type of neighborhood I remember as a child growing up in Southeast Michigan. The neighborhood was mixed and everyone helped each other, looked out for each other and were happy. You just don't find that anymore which is sad. Jack said it perfectly and he is 100% correct!

[gailcarey]

I visited Anchorage once and cried when I left.
The sky was the most pure color of blue my eyes had ever seen.
Moose are a surprise! I thought they were the size of horses. Nope!!! They are gigantic!
I loved the people. What the world needs to gain back is community.
It’s truly “a different world.” A better world.

[terrynn]

I livid in Alaska for 3.5 years while my husband was in the military. Alaska is way too under rated . It is the most beautiful state I have lived in. The Alaska people are amazing.

[MrSpock]

Holy crap, people actually living together that are different colors, ethnicities, and backgrounds!!! Anyone would be proud to live in your community!!

[MilanoP]

Wow I’m so impressed with this community unity, love & passion for one another!! Salute to the diversity👏🏾👏🏾Absolutely refreshing to see considering the climate of our country today✨✨✨

[LumberNumbers]

Seems like a pretty friendly neighborhood. There could be crime but everyone knowing each other and everyone’s kids growing up together is a HUGE strength. All the people interviewed and their good attitudes towards where they call home is awesome. Love it.

[TheGamer]

I always thought of Alaska as this place with nothing but snow everywhere, mountains and wildlife, and mostly just white people 😂 This was eye opening and cool to look at how wrong I was

[sindycastro]

I just want to say thank you for making these videos. I think we all sometimes get caught up in our worlds that we rarely stop to think that other people could be living so different from us. I don't have the opportunity to travel as much as I'd like to and when I do, I am always curious to learn about the community's perspective of living where they do. I appreciate your videos very much and I support your drive!

[vickieweik]

I lived there in the early 90’s. It was pretty wild then! I’m happy to see such positive improvements to this community.
