I am deeply disturbed and concerned about the current rate and character of growth in Bozeman. The past few
years, Bozeman has seen an unprecedented amount of population growth, and the unsightly building of housing,
businesses, and traffic has met the tipping point. Bozeman is no longer "the most livable city". We have suffocated
the character of the community by selling out to money hungry developers. It is the responsibility of the
community leaders to control this unsustainable growth. We need to take pause and consider what kind of future
and quality of life we want to provide for our community. Our schools are crowded, our water supply depleting,
our streets congested with traffic, our beautiful landscape scarred by rooftops. Is this really Bozeman? Is this what
we want? Shall we continue to sell the soul of Bozeman for dollar signs? It's time to stop, think, and do something
radical‐‐which is save Bozeman.
