> Yes, I know that people can’t live in the Yukon Territory

I'm not challenging you on this, I'm really curious to know why you said this.

why can't people live in the YT?

Well, for one, the Yukon territory suffers from extremely high housing prices.

Not to mention that food and transportation costs are also very high.

On account of the cold, I guess. And of the tundra there, kind of difficult to build lots of stuff on it, such as roads or railways. The dark during winter-time, too.

All this to say that that makes it difficult to potentially set up big human settlements in there.
