Dear Commissioners,
As a concerned citizen and someone committed to health, I am asking that you considercarefully and choose a replacement commissioner who is truly concerned about the
craziness of our housing boom for the rich and entitled in this town. We need a candidatewho wants to fix the housing crisis with truly affordable housing and a better greenspace
management plan before every last piece of the valley is paved over and covered in tackycondos and apt complexes under the guise of "affordable housing". We cannot even hire
new faculty at the university due to the housing prices here and this will seriouslycompromise the status of the university in the coming years. There are good candidates:
Alison Sweeney's guest editorial in The Chronicle detailed ideas for actual affordablehousing, Emily Talago and Tom Woods are open-minded residents with lots of ideas. We
don't need a commissioner with a concierge agenda.
Sincerely,
Alex Adams MD, PhDConcerned citizen of Bozeman and MSU faculty
