Come to California, it’s been a shit hole for years. At least we are consistent!
Any Montanans frustrated with population growth, sprawl, rising prices, etc?

Save room for me. Montana is on my short list.

The saga continues...
Not only are they concerned that the message didn't get through to this poor New Yorker the first time, they decided it would sink in more if it came in a cool fold-out cross shape. I still swear there were more non-white folks when I lived there...

Woof
Going right for that remote work angle, huh? Sheesh.
Admittedly a little jealous that I didn't get any of these move-back recruitment mailers. If I had, it might've said:
"You can't even think of being able to afford buying a home here by now... but, WHAT IF you have some luck finding a grossly inflated rental right next to the railroad tracks?"
Would've really sweetened the pot.
I remember when they didn't close school in weather like that. mtmuley
They do around here. Half the class lives out of town so not a lot can be taught when nobody is there
Busses didn't run, but school was open if you could get there. Of course, we never did. Way more fun stuff to do on a bad Winter day. mtmuley

My HS was down in the valley, 500’ elevation, I remember all the townie kids getting pissed when our busses would take off early for the mts. when it snowed. We lived at about 4000’ elev. and it was 36 miles to the school.

Wonder why I didn’t get one?
I probably talked shit about elk hunting in MT too many times…

I got one. I was thinking about moving back until I couldn't figure out how to unfold it correctly. Then there's someone wearing socks with sandals. I'm just gonna stay here.

This has been a problem most recently due to technology. Never before has it been possible for people that are tied to population based businesses, to be remote and still stay active in those businesses. Many of the people that are here, complaining about the influx of people, came here from somewhere else themselves.
Montana has become the "Big Sky Country" and "The Last Best Place" more recently as it used to be "The Bonanza State" and the "Treasure State" due to agriculture and natural resources. With the environmental movement and a push for tourism, Montana isn't at all what it used to be.
If all the people could have seen Montana when It was the "Treasure State," the influx would be many times what it is now.

WHAT IF you realized you can't have snow days anymore because you're a remote worker, and your kids are REALLY loud?
WHAT IF your neighbor decided to start piling junk cars in their yard next to your house and there was nothing you could do about it?
WHAT IF you could have all the expensive costs of healthcare coupled with a fraction of the options and access?
Anyone here good at graphic design? Lets get these out there, I'll chip in for various expenses.

Because when it’s said and done I will have spent over 22 years in the Navy and there in nothing left for me “back home” nobody shares my principles anymore. Things are getting more and more out of whack. People in Montana are more friendly now then where I’m from. The list goes on and on but the same can be said about some other states as well. I might just bounce around every 5 years or so taking advantage of the best hunting as a resident of that given state.

What if you can’t build your dream house because lumber is outrageous and even if you do order appliances they take months to arrive…

WHAT IF you could see the price of a ski pass double every year?
WHAT IF you could have a new windshield on your car every three months at your own expense?
WHAT IF you could exfoliate several layers of skin just by stepping outside in 80mph winds
This is fun and should be it’s own thread!
