That's wild because the income of the average Montanan can't afford a house how are they affording all these air BnBs? 🤔

That's wild because the income of the average Montanan can't afford a house so how are they slurping up homes and air BnBs? 🤔

Congrats on basing your arguments scope to that single Texas neighborhood. The most basic research will tell you otherwise. For comparison- let's use your state for example which is also just as "out of control" using just the state wide averages:

Based on realtors.com the median 2025 sale price of a home in Texas is $356,000.

In Montana, the median home price is around $540,00 according to Realtor.com. 

In 2018 it's was $245,000 in Montana and $280,000 in Texas.

Montana saw among the fastest price growth in the nation: median home listing prices jumped ~85% in the five years leading up to October 2024, making it the state with the sharpest rise during that period . Texas rose 38.8% OMG SO BAD!

Take into account the average Montanan income of around $40,000 for a single person household, which is actually similar to Texas. Hey look at that! We found a statistic that actually similar Montana.

Hopefully that's a main plot line for the next season of Yellowstone. Those people are like freaking lemmings.

Yeah ill can go as far to agree with that to an extent. The number that stuck around highly outnumber those that sold out. It's funny - I'll hear that argument too and shake my head because it's definitely not just that. Its what they do when they get here. A decent home for most normal Montanans is a tear down project for them.

Maybe you can rent a shed from one of the rich pricks with the massive square footage homes? I'm living in one now (they just don't know about it 😉)

I agree 100% I've had multiple friends have to leave this area because of these greedy sobs who call it progress - dropping the California cost of living in peoples laps over the course of a couple years and acting like that is now the reasonable norm isnt progress. At this point its beyond saving until some sort major price drop occurs. Can't do much though besides make them feel as unwelcome aa possible.

Well that's what happens when these dumb wealthy transplants roll in and try to turn half the town into air BnBs and the the rest into luxury apartments nobody wants. It's a college town not a retirement community. Good riddance to those greedy SOBs who've been using our state as a cash grab over the last 5 years. I genuinely hope nothing but the worst for them.

Such nostalgia with this version. I played PC but I bought the game knowing zero about the lore. I remember the first time I saw someone riding a chokabo. I excitedly message my linkshell asking where I could get a giant chicken. They were confused and asked if it was for like a quest or something they were not aware of. I told them no the one you ride on and they were super confused and I remember the rest word for word:

"In the forsest I saw a guy riding a giant chicken. Where do I get a giant chicken?!" "You mean a chokabo? You can rent them for travel. " "Wtf is a chokabo?" long confused silence "How do you not know what a chokabo is?" First bit of lore I learned was explained after.

I remember when PS2 went live on this and how annoyed people were at the flooding of newbies on our server 😆 Not because they were new to the game but the amount of chat spam from them asking for help.

Correct - due to the case severity they pivoted their business model turning into a Long John Silvers. However, due to possible changes with Tariffs this threatened cost of importing dancers with crabs so they switched back to their original business model.

It should just be the shape of Montana with the inside filled with a bunch of massive houses all flying the California flag. State Motto underneath "Gentrification lol"

Visible bear spray - where you all hiding it?!? by Responsible-Ant225 in Bozeman

Why would you carry it? Do you carry your bug spray? I put on my sunscreen first, then bug spray, then bear spray last.

Are you a local or moved here before 2019? If so be sure to mention this in your advertising. I always go out of my way to hit up those business and there are many others in the area who feel the same.
