Dear members of the Bozeman City Commission
Thank you for your public service. Your contribution of time and work is honorable.
Regarding the latest proposed changes to the zoning in Bozeman, I must say the concept is so
frightening that, as a 54 year resident, it is enough to scare one into pulling up stakes and finding
another town where the leaders won’t even consider changing the zoning and character of a 138
year old platted subdivision to Soviet style housing. I hope this plan dies an early death.
If my information is not entirely correct, it is not my fault. It is the fault of the leadership that is
attempting to sneak this monster past the citizens.
The real problem is the way it was not revealed to the public. Why? Because you don’t want to deal
with the pushback? So, let’s be fair, let’s be grown-up and at least have a discussion. Let’s make this
idea go away. It is a very desperate attempt to relieve the housing problems in our beautiful city.
