Talk:Alaskan Dachas (Russian America)

Levittowns
I know its been a really long time since our last conversation (sorry for that), but I had a few ideas in mind for this article that I would love to get your opinions on.

Firstly, I wanted to get your take on potentially renaming/reorienting this article to be about Alaskan Suburbia and/or housing in general. As I mentioned months ago, a dacha is [simply] a type of house in Russia (but is not synonymous with the words "home" or "house"). I feel that only focusing dachas places too much emphasis on one part of a bigger picture. Since this article already incorporates many elements of Alaskan Suburbia, I feel it would be easier to start here (or we can always make a new article). Either way, would love to get your opinion on this.

Secondly, I recently came across an interesting possibility for Alaska that (if canonized) would change many things. This involves and s in general (not sure how acquainted your are with them, but as a Long Islander... they are kind of a BIG deal). The ancestry of the Levitts seems to support them being Alaskan, shifting the prominence of suburban development in the country. Planned communities that are comprised of cheap-to-make homes, which develops into a broader culture throughout the century. Dacha design would (no doubt) play some role here, as they fit nicely into Levitt's designs. Another feature may be the expansion/acceleration of civil rights in Alaska, as Levitt only favored White communities (sorry to say).

This leaves open a lot of possibilities, so I thought you would be interested as well. -- 00:19, April 18, 2017 (UTC)
