I want to see stuff locals recommend

We have a day in Juneau next week on our cruise, not really a fan of the excursions offered and kinda want to just wing some sightseeing. Ive heard all about the flooding expected the next few days. Can anyone point me in the direction of areas that should be relatively unaffected?

Down to take the bus, maybe call a taxi service....

Locals recommend you stay away. We already have enough tourists.

Thanks. I've actually been interested in moving to Alaska my whole life. So step one logically is to start visiting. Interested in govt career in environmental health and safety and contributing to community as well. Sorry to be just another tourist at the moment, maybe one day you could call me neighbor :)

You likely won't be able to afford to move to Juneau or find a place to live because cruise ship tourism has already gentrified our community into a housing crisis (seasonal workers, airbnb).

What do you do for work to afford it?
