Quote HistoryQuoted: maybe?  i doubt i'd qualify for that much mortgage.  can steph chung and/or LBP shovel snow and butcher an elk? well that and my dream has always been to purchase a 4/3 house in a college town, live in the unfurnished basement, and rent the bedrooms out to bicurious college cheerleaders and/or college gymnast chicks and/or college rower chicks to cover the rent. You’ve got a better business mind than I ever gave you credit for, Bro. Im’a gonna bow out now.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I dropped my daughter off at the Bozeman airport not that long ago. It was the first time I'd spent more than a few minutes in the town in 2 years and I was amazed how much had changed in just that short of a period of time. That city is crazy. Interesting to see a handful of large farmers fields in the valley as holdouts but there is so much room to expand that it's crazy. Bozeman's big problem is amenities. There isn't much there in terms of "basic" amenities if it wants to get bigger. |

I used to fly in there all the time for trips to Yellowstone up until 2021, and it was a bit of a drive back into town to go to the Walmart to stock up before heading to the park, with nothing really in-between.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Been saying it for years because I see it in my state. People from the northeast and west coast sell their shitboxes and move into states like Montana years ago or some southern states now and pay cash for everything. It's artificial and they price locals out because it's not how the local economy is built and cost of living. It's not something that can be corrected or fixed without slowing down the migration. The locals aren't going to all the sudden start making appropriate salaries This is exactly what is happening. Unfortunately our dear leaders have only made it easier on the immigrants with a complete change to the state tax code that will have locals who work in the economy paying more and those who live off capital gains paying less

The rise in residents experiencing homelessness comes as housing costs have spiked. The median listing price for a home has gone from $669,000 at the start of 2020 to $1.2 million in 2024, according to city data. Meanwhile, rental costs in Gallatin County, where Bozeman is located, increased nearly 19% from 2019 to 2022 and continued to rise, leaving the county with the highest rents in the state. Clearly across the nation economic policies resulted in a catastrophic rise in RE costs, pushing many people on the streets. Plus MT has to be most unaffordable place in the country as there is no way the local economy can support these prices. I once asked a MT person - how do people live there? He said they don't. He was some day trader. |

Nailed it. Lots of lifestyle homeless. Most of them are not from MT. Many of them are seasonal too, and the season is just about to get started. They establish themselves in certain towns, like Missoula, because those people tolerate their bullshit, give them money while they're panhandling, let them get away with pretty much anything/make excuses for their criminal behavior, and provide lots of free services for them. They set up big camps out in the forest outside of my town during the summer. Just a matter of time before they start a catastrophic wildfire that spreads from one of their camps. |

No sense of community, all for me attitudes and ignorant, reckless disregard for others. Denver, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs, Jackson, Missoula, Bozeman, Coeur d'Alene, Boise, McCall, Hailey, Salt Lake, Ogden, etc, not much difference in the shift in attitudes and move toward social liberalism. We have a state sales tax it’s 6%. We also allow individual cities to add in an additional 1% sales tax by vote. Our state income tax is now a flat rate 5.8% above $4,490. Generally property taxes are low unless the town is suffering from an exploding population. None of the states are going anywhere. Parts of them are just becoming unlivable for those not accustomed to living next to assholes  |

How they vote is the only objective criterion to judge their political alignment. There's no "muh taxes" going on in Montana that I've heard of. I mean, you guys have always had a state income tax, to your detriment, but at least you don't have a state sales tax. Idaho is not going anywhere. Just alarmist bullshit by people who don't like new neighbors. I agree about in regard to the vote tally. The problem lies on the attitude not the politics. That’s where RiNO types reside. Visit our more populated towns/ cities. Look at the liberal tendencies prevelant in the population. No sense of community, all for me attitudes and ignorant, reckless disregard for others. Denver, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs, Jackson, Missoula, Bozeman, Coeur d'Alene, Boise, McCall, Hailey, Salt Lake, Ogden, etc, not much difference in the shift in attitudes and move toward social liberalism. We have a state sales tax it’s 6%. We also allow individual cities to add in an additional 1% sales tax by vote. Our state income tax is now a flat rate 5.8% above $4,490. Generally property taxes are low unless the town is suffering from an exploding population. None of the states are going anywhere. Parts of them are just becoming unlivable for those not accustomed to living next to assholes First of all, what you're describing is just what happens when cities get big enough. There's no getting around that. But you can HAVE fair-sized cities and still have a very conservative state. Second, Montana does not have a state sales tax and I was speaking of Montana. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just because you vote republican does not mean you’re a conservative. Socially liberal, California republicans are trashing the intermountain west the same way they trashed California! Muh rights, muh freedom, muh taxes… Today’s Cali republican is yesterday’s hippie. You know the type; fuck everyone but me! Colorado is gone, Arizona on the way, Montana |

Must have miss read the sales tax part. Myself, I don’t care if you’re a Republican or not. I don’t care where you’re from. I care how you carry yourself. Give as much as you take and be polite. I’m cool if you’re also professional and have a plan… Cities are what they are. Larger population means a higher number of low life’s per capital. Small towns, smaller number. I’m 2hrs from any metro area. We aren’t too fond of dicks from any state. Including our own. I know fully the broad brush I painted with; all newbs from large cities and states aren’t assholes but stereotypes are based on larger trends. |

Did the Supreme Court just hear a case on whether local governments could bar camping on public land?
I'd push the City Council to pass an ordinance to make that illegal without a permit (may want to allow some folks to do such things under certain circumstances like festivals and what not). Have to crack down hard on that kind of thing. If the locals are priced out they'll have to relocate, they may have to commute longer distances or find work elsewhere. 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. |
