That is a ways north of Libby and Troy. those two towns have not seen the growth like Missoula, Bozeman and some of the other places highlighted in the TV show Yellowstone. A lot of off grid homesteads come on the market in that area. Long ride to find a Costco or Walmart.I don't know what it's like now but we almost bought this place in Yaak back in 2017. On 3 acres and backed up to the south fork of the Yaak river.
Yep, it's not like all those Somalies the .gov settled in Minnesota are there because they wanted to see snow.
Living in or near a city was never part of our plans.
My wife's friend lives in Meridian and the whole area from Boise to Nampa looks like SoCal sprawl. Wall to wall subdivisions and strip malls. Before picking AZ we had briefly considered a couple locations in SE ID.
Bozeman and Missoula are the "target cities" for the liberals that desire to take over the state. Very similar to Portland, Oregon as far as having a voting majority in the State Senate. The I-5 corridor gets the money and Eastern Oregon gets the crumbs... A new US Senate district was formed here and out of state money is trying to buy that seat. Unfortunate for a beautiful state with good people. As one local politician told a group recently "It's a numbers game". Capturing the votes in the biggest cities beats all of the rural votes.
As it does in any state and is what they are seeing in TX as well. Where for too long they kept hiding behind the mantra of, "it's just down in Austin".
The ratio is changing daily.... Remember, 51% beats 49%......... The vote count on the new district will give guidance as to how things are changing.
That is a bull shit thing to say. As a farmer I can say that I have never voted based upon some bureaucrat handing out subsidies. In fact I can not name one of my neighbors that would have. I voted based upon morals and conservative values. In fact, Trump's good economy and strong dollar were horrible for ag commodities. Our prices are sharply lower during those times. If I was so worried about money.....I wouldn't have been a farmer. I have heard that stupid generalization for years from jealous assholes who live in town. Please stop saying that. It is not true.

There has been a lot of money dumped into that conversion. But studying the history of Portland, Oregon certainly is a road map to where many cities are going. Once the State Legislature is rolled over to the liberals and the tax money flows to the liberal strong hold cities and starves out the rural communities.... It will be too late. The poorest counties will be paying for the homeless camps, food banks, medical care, etc in the largest cities. Follow the money.... There is a lot to be made in the "Homeless Business".
Survival of the Fittest....
It was, to a degree.... It also was an over reach of the Government.

That’s kinda comical what the tribal nation is asking of MontanaThe popularity of the show "Yellowstone" it is, again, just a show. So far it's been a snowy and icy fall heading into winter. Many of the transplants never imagined that they would have to buy snow tires for their car just to get out of their driveway.
Lake County, MT is a beautiful place. However, reality levels the playing field when planning a budget for a County.
An excellent letter is at the end of this article.
Lake County initiates withdrawal from Public Law 280 agreement
Lake County has initiated a withdrawal from its Public Law 280 agreement with the State of Montana. The announcement was made Friday.
Factor in that the COL is 30% to 40% higher if your mail is sent to a "Bedroom Community" and not to a Mega City. This is nothing new. People who live rural and drive an hour to work and an hour home are shopping and buying big ticket items in the big city where they are employed. Bedroom Communities with exploding populations have a City Council or other Government employed "Planners", etc that have "ZERO" experience at getting ahead of the curve of a population explosion. For 50 years I traveled and worked in this type of environment. Not one Bedroom Community is increasing the capacity of their infrastructure (Sewer, potable water, power grid, natural gas feed, traffic control, run off water situation, etc). Industry with good paying jobs don't build a plant near a bedroom community. Currently there is a housing shortage and prospective employees are doing their home work on housing, schools and house hold supplies before relocating. National and International businesses are closing up their small satellite stores and moving back to hubs of commerce. I see that almost daily here in Mayberry, RFD.........

You seeing the cost of building coming down at all in MT? Any update there?The news is good......
You will nave to ask yourself (and your family) what sacrifices they are willing to make in order to reside in "that area"....
There are folks here who are 1) Staying with friends or relatives, 2) Living in their RV's, 3) Camping in the National Forest, 4) People living in Denver, Salt Lake City, Reno, etc are renting Montana Airbnb's, driving up and spending a few days at a time.... All looking for a permanent residence here.
Strictly speculation on my part - - - - October, November and December will bring some more desirable properties with seller's more willing to negotiate. Every week, the old timer's die off or the kids move them to assisted living. I have met their adult children at the Estate Sales. Those heirs have homes, careers, families in other area's and have no desire to return to Montana. The people camping out here are at those sales and are negotiating with the heirs... while the body is still warm. I see it first hand. I talk to the heirs and buy the things the old folks left behind. Some places have everything left but the guns and family albums.... The heirs only want the $$$.........
Here is a lead, if you are truly that committed:
Many people write "Swanson's Estate Sales" into their will so he can come in and sell / auction everything off.... You can contact Mike and ask him for leads on Estates that he will clean out so the heirs can sell the property. There are other's who do entire Estate Sales in different areas.
Best of Luck
