Beauty and the city council
-
2/9/2020
I've lived in Missoula for 12 years, moved from Michigan. I love the locals, some of the most friendly people aside from some snooty granolas. Missoula is freaking gorgeous but there are definite issues. There are some struggles with homeless and it's probably not going to get better because the rent is high and the wages are low. I'm talking $10-12/hr for a large majority of the population, and rent for anything decent starts around $750 for a 1 bedroom. This is only getting worse because the city council is doing their best to implement a TIF (tax increment financing) which is about to stick it to all the city's residents. Basically the tax payers are about to pay for all the new developments that are about to take place. The university also hasn't been bringing in the money either, enrollment has dropped. If you don't already have tons of money, Missoula really can't help you. God bless the locals and suck it city council (greedy bastards)!
