Was in Juneau last week and noticed way more cruise ships than locals. Is tourism killing the real Alaska?

That whole 'more cruise ships than locals' thing is SO true, my buddy was a fishing guide in Ketchikan and said the docks were PACKED with tourists every single day but the town felt empty after 5 PM. He quit because he couldn't even find a place to park his truck.

Yeah I used to roll my eyes at people complaining about tourists but hearing that makes total sense now. Your buddy's parking story really put it in perspective for me.
