I'd take Billings over Great Falls any day.

Same. Interviewed in Great Falls, it was “ok”. Wind was horrendous. Interviewed in Billings the next week. Night and day difference.

Billings is fine. I don’t worry about living here at all. I came from Cleveland so pretty much anywhere is better than that haha.

We should all chip in for a rokslide hunting compound at this point.

The trouble is, cities in the states you’re referring to that have amenities that make them what most of mainstream America considers livable or are within close proximity to trails, mountain biking, skiing, or rivers with trout in them, etc. attract all kinds of progressive and liberal types. Those places end up with the population centers and voters that determine what happens in the rest of the state.

I’m a 5th generation Coloradan and I lived in Montana for 20 years. There will never be enough conservative, hunting and fishing enthusiasts moving to western states to prevent what is already occurring in Montana and Idaho, and has already wrecked Colorado.

If you have the ability to make a living and support a family in rural parts of any western state, there are a lot of places you can still go and live the kind of life you want and have neighbors who generally will think like you do.

I think the exact opposite is taking place in Montana. I've lived here 40 years and it used to be a purple state governed by sensible moderates. No longer. There is not a single statewide elected office currently held by a Democrat. People say Californians are taking over but that's not what I see at all. Just hundreds of Texas plates all over the place. Montana is deep red and getting more so every day.
