Yea, another 365 unit subdivision was just proposed just west of the Bozeman airport. Funny thing is that no one can figure out where everyone is working. There simply aren't enough places to work her. Strange and sad. Another five years I'm outta here. I'm glad I lived here when I did. But the "Last Best Place" it is no longer.
Developments look fine out east, with trees breaking up the pattern, it's not a good look in wide open spaces, just looks like a cluster of homes huddling together in fear of the next tornado.
I think it's the people that make a huge difference, those that moved into colorado have changed the social cultural fabric. Are these the same types moving into montana, to escape the crap they built in California and elsewhere out there?
I spent a small part 9f my childhood in greeley, but back then there weren't many jobs so back east my parents went. We still have land out there. Just a small plot.
Don't Californicate Colora... errr... montana
Yup, Ya don't want to mention your from California to the locals here. Or, any coast for that matter. It took me about two years or so to find my place here and be welcomed in. Montanas are wonderful folks. Slow, very slow, to take you in. But once they do they are awesome people. Unfortunately they are completely out numbered any longer.
On a positive note, depending on your position on this, the land and home prices have soared again. Good for me as I've been here for thirteen years. Bad for those making ten bucks an hour or trying to move here. The locals, again, blame the Californians for this tremendous increase and driving the property values to incredible heights.
