Letter: Cramming in more units bad for neighborhoods

Wait, what? The same people who were enraged that homeowners were using the variants of Airbnb to “ruin” the quality of residential areas of Honolulu with transients cluttering the streets and stressing the infrastructure — never mind noise, parking stress, and trash — are now saying those same beloved areas should be crammed with more structures and more permanent residents?

Alaska's busy COVID-19 hotline was voicemail only — and maxed out. Now a person answers each call.

Carla Helfferich, an Alaskan since statehood, exhausted her ample supply of profanity when she tried to call the state’s COVID-19 hotline during the rocky senior vaccine rollout earlier this month.
Helfferich, a Fairbanks resident over 65, was eligible to schedule an appointment. But she didn’t know where to start. So she called the state hotline. Over and over.
Helfferich did get an appointment, but only after hearing a rumor about availability. She never got through on the state number.
“I found the situation stunningly bizarre,” she said.
It comes too late for Helfferich and thousands of seniors who maxed out the hotline earlier this month. But as of this week, people with COVID-19 questions now get to talk to a person. The Alaska Department of Health and Social Services announced the change this week: Callers will either get immediately connected with someone or be put on hold until someone is available.
