Hello,
I realize I have missed the deadline by a few hours, but I have been swamped at work. Some thing that is crucial for
me as a 20 year resident and homeowner, to afford my home here in Bozeman, and the wildly disproportionate
living costs that continue to rise from out of staters buy up property as 2nd, 3rd and 4th homes that sit vacant most
of the year.Compounded by the fact that my home value is currently in jeopardy of losing substantial value and
equity under your new proposed UDC.
This proposal is poorly thought through from a neighborhood and resident perspective. This proposal, if passed, will
destroy the culture and the neighborhood safety for many in this town.
As I drive north down Wilson, I am consistently stopping short for bikers, pedestrians, and cars that cannot see you
around the large buildings that have taken up the entire city block and are full of empty condos and apartments that
belong to out of staters.
For the sake of Bozeman, please go back to the drawing board and revamp this, so that folks in R-1, R-2, and R-3
are not subject to development, recoding and large, multiunit properties, infiltrating and devaluing our
neighborhoods.
