Hello,
This idea is so simple, it probably has more than one reason it won’t work, but still thoughtyou might want to explore it:
How to solve Bozeman’s affordable housing problem, possibly for free: (1) find a big piece of already owned
public land in or near town, or buy one. (2) Subdivide it for maybe 200 - 300 small housing lots. (3) Buy 200-300of these tiny houses (link at end.) (4) Rent at reasonable prices or rent-to-buy at reasonable prices, enough toeventually pay for the costs of the project. Better still, see if Amazon would chip in on the costs of the project. AndAmazon may have some ideas on whether some or any of these houses are already or could be made to deal withBozeman winters. So instead of zoning changes, water use changes… and all the ways you’re trying to induceaffordable housing construction, we just buy the housing and get the job done.
