I hope you all read The Sunday Chronicle and the article on Jackson Hole. ( I lived there for
15 years when we just called it Jackson.) Pay attention to the part about the large buildingproposed for the north entrance to the town. Because it is the size of 4 Targets the town has
adopted a temporary moratorium while they deal with the issue. You can deal with this nowbefore a developer proposes something like this. Parcel assembly leads to McMansions like
the ones built all over Vancouver when people fled Hong Kong. I don't think anyone inBozeman wants to see homes and businesses demolished for large buildings. Remember the
developer generally gives the town nothing in exchange for all that land, the finite resource. Some will play the affordable units game with basically unaffordable priced units. Please
think ahead about the problems with parcel assembly. Don't use the typical answer we'veheard: "Just because they can, doesn't mean they will." If they can, they will. Thank you for
the work you do, Mary Lou Osman
