"To the editor: The recent discussion at the Fairbanks City Council about discouraging remote and hybrid work raises an important question - but perhaps not the one we should be asking. The real question is whether Fairbanks is doing enough to make itself a place where professionals want to live, work and invest their lives. Recruitment and retention across public and private sectors depend on more than policies; people choose communities based on housing, utilities, childcare, education, healthcare, culture, recreation and overall stability."

The central issue is whether Fairbanks is doing enough to make itself a place where professionals want to live, work and invest their lives. Recruitment and retention across public and private sectors depend on more than workplace policies. People choose communities based on housing availability and affordability, reliable utilities, accessible childcare, strong education, quality healthcare, vibrant culture, varied recreation and overall stability. Municipal and private leaders must prioritize these foundational elements to attract talent. Efforts that focus only on limiting remote or hybrid work risk overlooking the broader investments required to build a competitive, livable community.
