Bozeman resident of 15+ years. Deeply frustrated at the Commission. The City seems to have completely sold out its
long time residents to Developers to destroy our farmlands and neighborhoods - in the name of “affordable
housing” - which will NEVER come to fruition because demand will never stop. New zoning is classifying my
neighborhood off College to be RA - where developers can build 120’ x 120’ apartment buildings and forever
destroy my neighborhood’s character. Disillusioned with City

I am writing as a frustrated Bozeman resident of 15+ years. The Bozeman City Commission seems too have completely sold out its long time residents to Developers and outside demand to destroy our farmlands and neighborhoods - in the name of
“affordable housing” - which will NEVER come to fruition. New zoning plan, you’ve
classified my neighborhood off College to be RA - where developers can build 120’ x 120’ apartment buildings and forever destroy my neighborhood’s character. No desirable town/city has EVER built their way to affordable housing. EVER. And you
will destroy what makes this place special in your efforts to retroactively meet outside
demand. The reason is - demand for the “last best place” will forever be greater than supply. So by building all these suburbs / apartment buildings on top of pristine open space farm
fields, the Commission will create a city of “forever renters” whose fate will be at the
whims of their rich landlords. Build your high rise apartment buildings by the freeway and industrial centers where they belong.
Stop destroying open space, farmland, and neighborhoods for suburbs and apartment buildings to meet outside demand. Your longtime residents demand it.
