It's sad CA leftists refuse to connect the dots and acknowledge that Democrat policies ruin states. If they were so good.. they wouldn't have left.

These transplants are so annoying. They move here from other states but then they wear or display apparel or stickers from their previous state. If your state is so special then go back.

But that's what we could afford, even though I was a manager at a granite shop and my wife was working as an esthetician. During COVID, we got sucked into "Yellowstone," watched the whole series, and decided to book a trip to Montana in February 2022 just to see how it is. We stayed in West Yellowstone and had a blast here. One of the days, I decided to look for a job, just to see who was hiring and what they were willing to pay. I googled a couple of granite spots and a company was hiring in Bozeman. I went in for an interview. They asked me, "What will it take for you to move up here?" They were willing to pay me my $89,000 a year salary plus moving costs, plus a deposit on the place we rented. From March to April, within a month, I got the job, we rented the house, and we packed up and moved here. moar Transplants = growth. Growth = cultural change and loss of undeveloped regions.

I grew up in Belgrade, Graduated from Belgrade High School. Went to MSU and played for the Bobcats in the 80s. Graduated from MSU. The 60s through the 80s were wonderful times in that area. Belgrade, Bozeman and Four Corners were separated by farmland. Bridger Bowl was still a sleepy townies resort. You could fish on all the various rivers and spend the day out there by yourself for the most part, even on the W Gallatin.
I have many fond memories of the Gallatin Valley... Heck, who remembers F11 and the Backporch Picken Parlor? A sleepy little town when i lived there. Pickle barrel was in a small place right off campus, and had the best sandwiches ever. I havent been back in years, but last time I was there, everything had changed. and not for the better. |

They noticed people were carrying guns and are looking to make laws so you cant do that
They also see that face to face gun buying is a thing and now want that banned. With how beautiful the state is and seeing all the trucks they want to create a law to ban trucks and impose a huge tax on fuel to pay for cleaning the environment. Wind mills and solar panels would be used due to the vast of land available and make no cattle zones so cattle are not killed for food. It will feel more like home with all of these measures in place |

Right before Covid hit, I bought up the last empty 5 acre lot in an older neighborhood NW of Austin. Built a new house, put in a swimming pool and a 40x60 workshop. We were sent home to work and never have returned to office. I get the cold shoulder from my new neighbors probably thinking I’m a Cali transplant but I’ve lived in the Nextdoor town since 1990. The ones I have met seem surprised when I recall events that have happened here from that timeframe.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By mancat: Find out they are looking at houses in Seattle - of course. I ask where. Columbia City. Oh... "Hey you guys know that's a high crime area right? Yeah you might find some deals there but that's because it sucks." "Doesn't matter she already made up her mind." So they end up buying a place in the shittiest neighborhood of Seattle, going right back to square one, because the guy's wife couldn't handle living in a quiet, crime and drama free area where there weren't enough coffee shops, hip dining locations, and other typical women shit within distance of public transit, and guy couldn't put his foot down. . When was your most recent visit to Columbia City? (Neighborhood in Seattle for non-locals.) I'd like to see hard evidence it's the "shittiest" neighborhood. I strongly doubt it. Very much gentrified. I've worked several games there at Rainier ballpark and the gentrification extends beyond just the retail and restaurant core. Even Hillman City (the next neighborhood to the south) is showing signs of life. Or look at Garfield. Somebody is paying to put their white daughters into club teams who are then the makeup of the high-school team. These places are simply too near downtown, have some great vintage house bones, and prices are too high to ignore them. Go look at east Kent, downtown Auburn, Federal Way, SeaTac, Burien. The problems are being pushed farther away; the emerging hierarchy is commute time, not particular neighborhoods. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By USCG_CPO: I just want to say I know where Crockett is,  used to ride my motorcycle through the country over to Crockett and Port Chicago. There's no open farmland there anymore so it wouldn't be a nice bike ride today.There used to be a lady in Crockett who handmade leather riding gear. She would measure you like you were being fitted for suit but her material of choice was leather. I am sure she has passed by now but she had a booming business making gear for all the bikers. There is tons of open space south of Crockett. With the exception of 4 running across there and some ranches… it’s about as wild as it gets in the Bay Area. Lots of EBMUD watershed. One of my favorite drives is from Crocket to Port Costa to Briones then down to San Pablo Dam Road. Incredible country and not many people use it. I used to do the 14 mile hike around Briones Reservoir all the time, it was the exception to come across a single person, yet you have well over a million people completely surrounding you. It’s an absolute oasis. It’s where I got this when I was out there in March.  California Critters Trail Cam 3-4/24 |

Couple of thoughts:
- Based on his dress and wannabe gangsta vibe, that guy looks like an asshole. That is what matters, not where he is from. - The winters aren't that bad here and don't seem to drive off enough people. That said, there's a fresh 3 inches of wet snow on my driveway... - Certain types of native Montanans are almost worse than many of the transplants. - I can't decide which I like less...Bozeman or Missoula. |
