When that rec edible hits and you forget that you can't park a vehicle on air.

Could this be a mag?

Now he has roommates.

I run into ppl almost everyday that are over it. Hardworking locals that have decent or better jobs, who are leaving. Restaurant people getting squeezed hard.

Just finding a place is a nightmare and then paying insane rent.

The trailer population seems to have tripled recently. Sounds like they are cracking down on that shit as well.

Jackson sounds worse. 40$ per hour to work at true value. Huh.

I’m going to punch the next #Bozeman commissioner I encounter and any jury will say I’m right

I feel like that could be factual.

I've talked to numerous folks in Helena this summer who have moved here from Bozeman due to affordability. Which obviously means Helena is headed in the same direction to one degree or another.

Inevitably, if cities in Montana want service workers and other low-wage employees like teachers and police, subsidized rent-controlled housing will need to be built.

No way Montana voters will allow that Commie-shit to happen.

Charge a 100% sales tax on any non resident or corporation buying a house in Montana. Distribute the dividends to Montana residents

Money talks, and the Uber rich need their servant class close at hand.

[Ted26]

Or you know, build more housing.

When Blackrock can buy houses for cash above asking price increasing inventory can only do so much

You should run for office.

FYI this sort of thing is not unique to only Montana.

[0oMtnRidero0]

Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which the United States is signature to, defines housing as a human right.

https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/...21/03/udhr.pdf

The commodification of a human right is, for me, is the primary issue regarding the housing crisis in Montana. Until that is systemically addressed, the capitalist will rule. Fuck AirBnb, VRBO and real estate speculators until then.

To actually make a change, folks need to elect representatives and vote with their dollars to keep housing affordable.

This is not happening because there’s no reason rich Montanans would do so. Why not keep profiting off land stolen from the Indians and sold by the government for cents on the dollar?

What we need is economic incentives to make housing affordable, be that tax credits or businesses who contribute to workforce housing.

There’s no magic bullet. As James Carville once said, “It’s the economy, stupid.”

1st you need to get people who care about reform or large scale changes to run for office. And while incentives for affordable housing would help, this is a matter of a more systemic rot in our society that just housing.

I'm moving and getting rid of a bunch of stuff. FREE unless otherwise noted. Come take this stuff from me. I'll be cleaning my garage all day tomorrow and posting more free stuff.

If you can scale that up to 700c with a QR and rim brakes, that'd be great and I'll be by in the morning for it.

Also, good on you for pawning off the WTB rig. I never thought I'd truly hate a tire brand until I encountered a pair of those.

QFT. There's really nothing to blame but the good ol' American Way. It's a love/hate relationship.

Anyone done a float of the North Fork Blackfoot?

[yeahman]

Anyone done a float of the North Fork Blackfoot?

Yeah from Harry Morgan put-in by Ovando down to the main Blackfoot, many times. Friends are doing it this weekend, apparently the flow is still strong. Never floated above that.

[lifelinksplit]

No one ever. You'll prob die. Better off hitting monture ck with andouille sausage in your pack for a nice creekside bbq with red beans and rice.
