Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By LRShooter: The Billionaires in Jackson pushed the Millionaires up to Bozeman. It's been happing for decades. You should see the airports on a holiday weekend. Nothing but Gulfstreams in Jackson, and mid-size jets in Bozeman. GTFO of there poor man with your King Air. Bingo. It's going to be very interesting to see what happens in the next decade or so as the whole western half of Montana is turned into a retreat for the wealthy. They can get by with it in places like Jackson because those who work in Jackson Hole don't live in Jackson Hole, they commute over the pass from Idaho, much like the majority of those who work on Manhattan Island don't live on Manhattan Island they drive in over the bridges every morning. It's getting to the point that there is nowhere remotely affordable within commuting distance of BozAngles/Big Sky. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By KaerMorhenResident: If the City needs low income workers than it should probably look into an income adjusted housing development or at the very least some kind of apartment complexes. When in doubt there is always the good old fashioned tailer park. Subsidized housing schemes for low income workers! A liberal tax and spend solution for sure. Tax everyone because you don’t like wages driven by capitalist principles. Private equity has been buying the trailer parks and putting the squeeze on lot rates. Think captive audiencess.Subsidized housing money(from taxpayers) as well as avoiding taxes and escaping 1032 exchanges taxes play a role in most of the PE/trailer park acquisitions. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Deadtired: I'm confused. Are these people that DID have homes in Bozeman, but then rent went up and they couldn't afford them? Or are these homeless people that were going to be homeless anywhere, but Bozeman is a nice place for your cousin with the truck to drop your shitbox trailer off at? Also, why is it ALWAYS a Nissan Versa? Jenny grew up in bumfuck MT. She got a great job at the local watering hole, and was able to purchase her tiny little starter home for 109K in 2001. Recently Jenny was promoted at the local watering hole to hole manager and is now making $21 an hour. Just enough to cover here modest house payment as it's almost paid off! Except now the house is being assessed at 1.2 million and her taxes are sky rocketing! She can't afford to keep the home any longer. She could sell, but a similar home in the area she grew up in would just cost the same 1.2 M to purchase, but she wouldn't qualify for the loan, plus her new rate would be 8% instead of 2.3%. Jenny is fucked. Jenny sales the home and purchases an RV where she now lives behind the watering hole. She has a great little nest egg of money, but will now watch that dwindle down slowly as prices in the area rise for everything. Jenny also just had someone ask for a Zimma at the local water hole. WTF is going on?

My Brazilian wife has been chatting with another woman in Brazil who will be moving to Bozeman and will get married to her fiance there. Sure hope the fiance has the funds to keep his house and not live in a RV.
A Brazilian woman will not tolerate Montana winters in an RV. Michigan is cold enough for my wife. |

I went to work in Bozeman 2.5 years ago, the streets were littered with "campers" then. Went to work in Missoula last month and the weridos were on serious display along the river trail. I thought for a second Osama Bin Laden was alive and walking the trail, except it was some white dude but he sure like to dress like OBL.
I'm a transplant myself and the retarded gatekeepers have no idea what's coming. Just watching the political ads tells gives you an idea of the intelligence level of the average voter, on either side. Look at this fucking ghoul. I'd say the next election will give a clear indication of how far MT has fallen. Hope not, but I'm not impressed with the garbage the GoP is supporting here.  Attached File |

This article is somewhat relevant to this thread; rich developers want to build a large-scale luxury home community near the town. Moab is well on its way to becoming another Jackson:
The Kane Creek development in Moab involves approximately 580 residential and commercial units spread over 180 acres along Kane Creek Boulevard and up against the Colorado River. The development, managed by Kane Creek Preservation and Development LLC, aims to provide housing and economic diversification but has sparked controversy and opposition from local residents who are concerned for several reasons. The Kane Creek Development Watch is an advocacy group created earlier this year to prevent the 180-acre private land resort from succeeding. The group has raised concerns about various potential impacts of the development, including environmental degradation, strain on local infrastructure and changes to the community's character and lifestyle. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By exponentialpi: Bozeman isn’t the same as it once was.  That's the damn truth. I started flying out there to head over to the neighboring county in 2001. My wife liked to spend a day in town because she liked the shopping on Main St. It was a beautiful clean little town for years. College kids and tourists around. Then in about 2012 I started to see young people around town that looked like they had been kicked out of a Phish concert. It's only gotten worse since then. It's a shame because it really is a nice town located in a beautiful area. Bozangeles is for real. |

People moving there from CA and CO because Montana is too expensive. Little 1000 sq ft homes in Deadwood and the surrounding areas are upwards of 500k. Wish we would have kept grandmas place in Deadwood. Would have been a fun summer retreat. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Precious87: Tourists? They forced people from their homes, causing inaffordability? I've seen it happen first hand to numerous places throughout the west over the past 40 years -- Moab, Jackson, Springdale, Bear Lake, Torrey, Panguitch, and even Park City, where my wife grew up. Places that were backwaters or quaint little towns until they caught the attention of wealthy folks and tourists from out of state. It's what I call the "wilderness cycle", where a place in the middle of nowhere that no one knows about gets put on the map when it is designated as a wilderness area or national monument or national park. Then it suddenly gets flooded with people seeking a "wilderness experience". And of course these Nature Lovers want modern services with their adventures so they demand cafes and nice hotels and vacation resorts and yoga spas and coffee shops selling crystals and wind chimes and cheesy sheet-metal Kokopelli statues in the neighboring towns. And before you know it the place has become a new Aspen that is so crowded and expensive that no one can afford to live there, so the locusts move on to the next unsuspecting town to start the cycle again. The truth is the rural West was a lot more affordable, a lot more wild, a lot less crowded, and a lot more conservative back when its only occupants were farmers, ranchers, loggers, and miners. The environmentalists have loved it to death. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By GarandM1: Well, yeah: Tourism and recreation industries have pretty much destroyed the West. The tourists come in, see a nice place, and say "let's retire/buy a second home here" and start the real estate inflation cycle that drives working-class people out.

Those people were going to go SOMEWHERE. And when they went to the neighborhoods where rich people lived, those rich people were going to move out, because they always do. |
