13 years ago I moved here at the age of 18 with no family wealth or college scholarship. Since
then folks like myself have worked their butts off to make a living in the best state of thelower 48.
Time and time again I have been disappointed to see where the city of bozeman puts their
energy. Sadly interest groups and investors have turned this once deeply cultural location intoanother stop along the tour of the 'lost' west television portraits everyday.
More than ever we need to place the pre-covid citizen needs above those of developers,
venture capitalists and affluent new to towners whose money push along the process longbefore the public gets any input.
Invest in the community not those wanting a postcard.
As a Bridger employee and independent contractor, my life was far easier when money was
tight but I felt like I belonged here. Back when buying in Clyde Park or livingston was just afew years savings away.
Please give the soul of this place a chance.
