City council of Bozeman MT, I’m having trouble understanding what in the world you people are thinking. I’ve
been worried about all of this building going on in town. The only legitimate reason a community is building at all
is to fill a need the community has. In the case of Bozeman, the only possible need being filled is Greed. Someone
is getting rich on our backs. What we, the citizens of Bozeman have gotten is congestion on our streets, higher
property taxes, a diminished police and fire departments because of all the new people there more need, What about
water don’t the people running the community (into the ground) not understand that they on one hand claim we need
to conserve water and on the other hand build more housing that consume more water. Either there’s plenty and
people can have and use what they want or we can’t build any more in order to conserve our resources. It also is
hurting our home value, people have lived and worked in the city for decades only to see any gain reduced. Only
people who are receiving something in return would make a decision like that.
Now, all of a sudden you want to build condos on park property. It seems you’re making a one for one swap for
some obviously inferior land for land that is being used by the citizens of Bozeman. If the land being offered is so
great, let them build on that. You intend to steal land away from this community for only two dozen or people to
benefit. This obstruction hurts our view, are free access and is harmful to us. Again, someone is making money
here, it’s not us. We don’t want or need these condos. Stop destroying our city. You’ve gone too far. Start
representing your constituents, yourselves or whoever is gaining from this nonsense and enriching themselves..
Please enter my comments into the official record. Please discuss the points we made in an open meeting of the city
council. Or perhaps you’ve taken that from us as well.
