It used to be GREAT, now...

This used to be a great place to live, but my how it's grown. Growth wasn't properly managed so the roads and infrastructures are grossly inadequate. Just getting around town anymore is a joke and what the heck has happened to the cost of homes? We've been looking around and it appears to be cheaper to buy a home in California, what's wrong with that picture? The jobs here are mainly minimum wage and even professional occupations pay way below the national averages... why??? I guess that's the price you have to pay to live in Montana. It sounds great, but it's not that way anymore. The fishing has gone downhill to the point that I don't even fish anymore. The winters are long and brutal, often colder than Alaska during the winter months, and it can snow any time of year. We have a family video of the 4th of July and it's SNOWING, not a little either, the temperature that day was 32 degrees. So dress warm and always be prepared! If you're thinking of moving here and living outside of town for a country feeling, make sure you have a four wheel drive and a snow plow. Don't count on the state or city to keep your roads plowed, not knocking the city or state here, just seen too many people move here who expect someone else to do the work. Cowboy up or get out.
