How To Accept The New Bozeman. Positive Vibes Are A Must

Understanding the "new Montana" can be super difficult for some. Whether change in general is difficult or you just really miss the way things used to be, it can really put stress and anger on a person. I get it. Trust me.

I've moved enough times in life that I have always had to adjust to change, and like most of you, it can be exhausting.

When it comes to Bozeman, or even Montana as a whole, change is something that is not necessarily welcoming. Whether it is the drastic increase in population, the increase in crime, the more buildings and less land, none of it is easy.

So how do we get back on track to making Bozeman feel like a welcoming place that the people that actually live here and have lived here feel happy and not pushed out of their own town? One of the most difficult questions.

We can start by accepting some of the change. More businesses means there will be more local jobs for our community members. Maybe we will get more indoor options for fun for kids, families, young adults, and pets?

Accept that growth could include more indoor activities such as indoor basketball courts, an indoor dog park, bingo, a gaming area with laser tag, axe throwing, darts and pool with a teen night and then adult night. This would not be a bad addition to Bozeman.

If we are going to see Bozeman continue to grow, let's do it in a positive way. Keep people busy and kids active. Keep the grass growing and the water clean. Bozeman can go back to the loving community it once was, and part of that is making sure that we blast the positive and not the negative.

We are well aware of the current negative issues, but when is the last time we heard positive news? Let's remember that we need positivity to thrive. There is greatness in Bozeman, it just gets put on the back burner.
