Jared- Amen! We moved here 7 years ago after 25 years on other side of a street sign separating our city from north Dallas. My family of wife and 3 kids came here to get away from the big city people and attitudes to a place we had come to love after vacationing here for 5 plus years. It was our choice of everywhere as we had our choice. We own our own ecommerce business so any internet city we could have gone to to raise our family. We chose here as it was a great place to raise the kids. youngest graduating this year headed to college next. The politics and city elected have been destroying the charm, values and loosing their way. They are taxing and not keeping the values of Missoula or Montana. The kind people are leaving as the mean and big city people take over. Yes we were from the big city but we left that there and made a real effort to become and live as the people were here when we moved. Yes we knew the city was growing but the people here were the best. They were friendly, they smiled, the stopped to let you into traffic even if no one was behind them. they saw someone looking around walking downtown or elsewhere and locals would ask if they needed help. People just talked to each other and made friends just because you are another person. You could drive down Reserve at 35 instead of 45 and no one would honk or look at you in thier California, New York, Seattle, Portland, etc disgust. Missoula was where people were real not fake, always just nice and kind. Now the politics have put an anger and personality of my adopted City and it is turned mean. The (entitled) and (you owe me) types from California, DC, New York, Chicago, kind of people and their attitudes, the taxes, the telling me how they have the right to spend my savings we worked for to support their causes as they are right and anyone who does not think like them is wrong. Go back to where you came from and do all you want but stop destroying a beautiful place to live and grow a family. Even Missoula's beauty can not over shadow or change the ugliness and anger they have brought.
Great you have all these socialist ideas and causes. Take them back with you and cause away there! Take it back out of here. Your agendas and ways of telling us that society is to blame for every problem and the fix is to tax and spend the way out of the problem. They now want to inflect those ways they left in those The liberal spend, condom and self righteous holier than thou ways in Missoula should not be allowed. Go back dont ruin our way of life. The politicians seems they stopped listening to us and started loading their own pockets, ego and fake influence are not Montana ways. They have given way to the influx of the the angry. I talked to my counsel person and they were like deer in the headlights and could not have cared less. They want to change things to more socialistic ways but hide behind the word progressive. It is sad to see. My wife and I and several friends have been talking about it is time to find a place to move to as the Missoula we love is dying and changing for the worst. Some will disagree with me. ok thats your right. lets sit down have one of the great beers here and talk like people. CHeck your attitudes and stop telling me I dont have the right to feel like we do and see what we see. We are not wrong because you said so.
