My comments are partially my opinion but those opinions of others as well. The influx to areas with more freedom and beauty from areas no longer habitable brings money, though it also brings the visions they want to modify the area into something more corporate, which then bring influence, politics, and eventual disfunction and collapse. Anyway, we all have opinions. I hope yours is right in the long term.

    We move to a small town on the west side of Montana. We really regret it now. The people don’t like outsiders,but they are too cowardly to talk to you about it. Even the police follow you when you go for a walk. There is only so many streets to walk on so they park and wait for you to get near, then they drive away. You can’t seem to get more than a few words with your neighbors and then they want to rush away from me. Again, no one welcomed my wife and l. The churches were closed down when we got here. We were going to try that but since the weather is sooooo cold we are just going to leave this summer of 2024. Montana is good to visit, in summer, but the people are mean and make you feel terrible, so it’s not worth it. Not to us. A lot of low class criminals are moving here too now.

    In my neighborhood in Bozeman any house that goes up for sale is snapped up by REIT's and rented out to college students. They have 8 or more people living in a 3 bedroom.

    Well, you realtors are doing pretty well. If you want move to Bozeman, be ready for a shock. The politics in the state are not especially liberal. Housing is outrageously expensive. If you bring a camper to live in, be ready to move it off the street every 30 days -- the city ordinance wants to keep the side streets clean and clear of trash. This summer may be hot and dry. Winter may be cold and snowy. Food and gas is expensive. In other words, don't, I repeat, Do NOT expect to be happy here in Gallatin county if you are not filthy rich.

    It is affecting the other areas around it too, smaller towns are becoming bedroom communities for Bozeman as nobody can afford Bozeman housing prices and that is having the same effect on those towns making them unaffordable for people as well. Our property taxes jumped 27 percent this year alone due to housing price increases. Good if you see your house as an investment but not so good if you see your house as your home.

      The dating market here is garbage.

      Lots of dudes, more then women.
      The woman have the pick of the litter when it comes to guys like mentioned before.
      So it’s a buyers market due to how much Bozeman pulls the outdoor people(which are mostly guys).
      So if you’re a girl and you’re looking for a guy that does stuff, this is the place to come.
      But all and all it’s a fun place to live. Just hard to find quality people.
      If you don’t want to live in Bozeman, you won’t last long.
      Expensive, crowded, no job industry and horrible pay, lack of dating pool and cost of anything in regards to in town activities.
      The plus to that is most people that live here are here because they want to be.

    I did two road trips to Montana, the 2nd one just to Billings and then north into Canada. But the 1st one went all the way through into Idaho. One thing I didn't expect I'd fall in love with: Huckleberries! I'd never tasted them before and so I got as much huckleberry-flavored foods as I could while I was there. I was disappointed the 2nd time that huckleberries don't get as far east as Billings. Is Bozeman in the huckleberry zone?

    Nice promotion for Bozeman. Love how you found all the open space, greenery, walking trails, and sunsets. Real estate agents are largely responsible for the high cost of living around here, making it virtually impossible to purchase even a starter home. And let's not minimze the dramatic increase in congestion and traffic, and the decline in healthcare. You forgot to mention how difficult it is to see a doctor, like waiting for months.

My goal is for people to learn and ultimately people are seeking out more information, whether I provide it or not. It's been difficult, no doubt, with the growth here. Housing costs are dependent upon economic principles like supply and demand, much like other aspects of our economy, and I do touch on the downsides which I do believe actually help some folks decide not to move here - though I hadn't thought about the availability of medical appointments, so thank you for pointing that out.

    She is very honest and lined it out pretty well. What applies in the Gallatin Valley applies to the Flathead Valley also. If you are coming here, do your due diligence, its not like the TV show and reality here can be harsh. Never presume that it will change to pacify you because it wont. You have to be tough to live here year round, because all the money in the world isnt going to change 30 below in January, and the days being 8 hours long in December, or a month of smoke in the summer. Come see it first and decide, dont just come on a whim and overbid property just so you can say you have a place here.

    My son who is 1/2 black , 1/2 Latino is there right now for work. He says he feels pretty uneasy there, as there aren’t any black people that reside there and very few Latinos.
