To whom it may concern (all of us),
I strongly urge the city commission to reject the proposed Unified Development Code. It may
seem like an easy fix - and it certainly is a very profitable one at least for a select few.
However, as Bozeman reals in the throes of unprecedented growth, the UDC will onlyexacerbate the problem. THE problem being affordable housing. Passing the UDC will only
succeed in displacing single families - teachers, nurses, electricians, city employees, etc. - inexchange for out-of-town carpet baggers looking to turn a profit in the luxury apartment
industry.
It’s time to take a deep breath, roll up your sleeves and create intelligent solutions toBozeman’s challenges. Resist the “easy money," profit-driven mindset that has been the
downfall of so many, while benefitting only a few fat cats.
I urge the Commission to do as it promised the voters: work to protect and support ourcommunity - the people, the architecture - this place we call home.
VOTE NO! ON UDC
