Whoa folks! You seem to have forgotten what attracts people to Bozeman and why some of
us love living near downtown on our large city lots. The intense drive to saturate us with highdensity housing will only over tax(pun intended) the area beyond the streets capabilities as
well as destroy the quality of life in these neighborhoods. Our rampant capitalism needs toremember that life is more than being efficient. People like me who have created jobs and
helped grow many Bozeman businesses . (ILX Lightwave,WestPaw,Bequet Confections toname a few) should not be forced into selling property that we have spent our free time
creating our home as we wish it to be so that “we” maximize our density of housing neardowntown. There are alternative ways to grow a city and you need to look at alternatives that
put people above profits and efficiency. Bozeman is a great city because of the people thereare here and have been for that last 20-40 years. Not because of its development potential.
