So 4,000 of the 5,000 globally are there? I didn't realize the number was that high of % of their overall population. Part of my thinking just before you responded led me to: "Maybe a lack of potential mates globally would have it get desperate and change traditional locations". Seems that is unlikely.

However-

I did read that the environment in Kamchatka has grown incredibly suboptimal. Wiki gives us this:

"Threats to survival include: habitat alteration, industrial pollution, and overfishing, which in turn decrease their prey source. The current population is estimated at 5,000 and decreasing. Heavy flooding, which may have been an effect of global climate change, caused almost complete nesting failure for the eagles nesting in Russian rivers due to completely hampering the ability of the parents to capture the fish essential to their nestlings' survival.Persecution of the bird in Russia continues, due to its habit of stealing furbearers from trappers"

All good reasons to head elsewhere, isn't it?

Yeah, I’d be voting for the affordable housing even if I lived there because I have some selfless values and believe that others are entitled to a chance at similar comforts to those that I’ve been privileged to live with. Not every decision I make needs to be in my own self interest, especially true for people like me with a bit of wealth/ safety net. I wish more folks with wealth had this perspective.

We like to call each other fat bitch but faggot is popular too. Mainers do love Bub that's true but Bub is what you say talking to a co-worker or casual acquaintance not your good buddies not your friends. Spiritually hey asshole is the more correct answer. How people playfully insult each other changes with age. Just my 2 cents
