No more free parking in Anchorage (?)
A possibly-important article just appeared at KTUU - Draft ordinance would ban RVs from overnight camping in Anchorage parking lots

Having seen Centennial Park for the better part of 30 years, I'd offer the following:
- Disclaimer: I've spent time in an around Centennial park, including the 10 years or so that I lived in Muldoon. Never camped there.
- It is not an "RV park" like one would expect in the L48.
- It is generally fairly dirty, but (looking solely at this aspect) can be tolerable.
- It does have a homeless issue. MOA and/or other property owners sometimes get on a kick to roust the homeless from around the city and when that happens the homeless or near-homeless increase at Centennial.
- IMO, there's no reason to stay at Centennial or any other park in "Anchorage"....just go an hour north to Palmer/Wasilla. Better facilities at the park(s), almost as many shopping amenities as Los Anchorage, closer to jumping off to the other parts of AK. If you're wanting to see the Kenai Peninsula, you'll still bring your RV in from north of Anchorage, and if you're not just passing through, no great time loss parking in Palmer.
