Tracy - Application 22389From:Don Tracy To:Bozeman Public Comment Subject:[EXTERNAL]Application 22389 Date:Wednesday, September 4, 2024 9:23:15 AM CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization.

I am writing to express my concern and protest to the 4 story apartments to be built north of Bennett Ave. There has come a point in which the line between meeting Bozeman’s housing needs due to growth and the benefit to local business and government have become blurred. It is a delicate balance and should be done with the future of the community in mind. At some point, if you are not careful the very thing that attracts people here will disappear only to give way to the very reason people left where they came from. You have already made it almost impossible monetarily for many who grew up here and made Bozeman the town it is today to live here. Most forced to moving outside of the area only to have long commutes to work. Keep it up by maximizing housing density and you will unfortunately be witness to the same economic issues many of the towns in Colorado are experiencing. Think of the town and the people you are responsible for. Don’t let greed rule.
