Your article is dead-on. Sad, but true. I miss the sleepy, cow-town Bozeman.
You'd be good to circle back and address one other related element which is the fact that local, life-long, resident business owners are being/have been forced out of business due to escalating commercial rent prices. The millionaires moving in have purchased commercial real estate as bored (rich) housewives need something to do, so why not buy a building and sell overpriced home-decor even if you're operating at a loss, AND, in the process, have pushed out solid, profitable, life-sustaining, family-owned businesses. UGH
