Maybe so, but they're especially bad in states that indulge that kind of behavior and refuse to enforce the law, encouraging more homeless encampments, drug use and crime.
Spot on. I grew up in Anaconda, MT and escaped to Bozeman for a long time before leaving altogether. Montana is a wonderful place to visit and to film movies & TV shows, but it has a huge downside. I remember rampant alcoholism, drug abuse, violence, and a lack of the simple basics of life. You can easily tell who the locals are in a place like Bozeman. They are the ones who have a full time job and maybe two other part-time gigs just to get by, and they can't possibly afford to go skiing at Big Sky. You want to talk about homelessness? Last Chance Gulch in Helena turns into skid row during the summer, and bums will urinate in doorways and pass out on the sidewalk so that the shoppers have to step right over them. There isn't a third world country more dismal than Browning, MT and please don't ever go driving on Friday nights because of the drunk drivers on the road.
Well beings how Browning is the seat of the Blackfoot Reservation & two Secretary of the Interiors have been indicted because they can't find the trust fund to the Blackfeet Nation and the government owes them $137 million dollars.... I can see why
During the summer months the druggies and homeless from Seattle come to the Wenatchee Valley area, but to escape our cold during the winter they migrate back to Seattle.
I'm from the place where dreams go to die, Where there's no hope for life, Savages commit suicide, Mexican cartels thrive, I'm from Browning son, It'll f*** you up.
Can say that about anywhere people would like to live, problems begin when elites have their eyes on your small town, its ruining a lot of peoples lives and needs to be looked at more seriously.
Very Informative. I did move to Missoula in 2012. Started Nursing School. Worked part time for health care company. Everything was like 15 years behind in everything. My apartment was furnished with 30 year old furniture and bed! Kitchen and bath were very clean. I researched and read as much as I could in 2012, but there were not TH-cam videos like yours! Talk about forest fire smoke! You are advised to NOT go outside! I quickly got a sinus infection, because of attending class I had to get out! The real eye opener: going to clients home to help them with their disabilities. These clients didn’t have a roll of toilet paper, filthy kitchen towels, poor poor quality of clothes, no cleaning products! I had to keep a bag in my vehicle of toilet paper, kitchen dish rags and clean sponges, paper towels. If they lived in apartments: they didn’t have quarters to wash their clothes and bedding! It was every client I had! I moved back to my home state after 1 semester of school. Just too expensive to buy minimal groceries, gasoline, everything! I went to McDonald’s maybe 4 times. Never a restaurant! Beautiful scenery and vistas but that’s it.
McDonald’s? And you’re a nurse? You know you can buy a pound of organic beef for what you paid for that crappy hamburger fries and a Coke that’s actually killing you.
From Montana: Driving- I am permanently injured by a 94 year old blind woman driving. Not alcohol. Drugs- disclosure: As a teen I was drugged most days. Due to divorce and distance within my family. It helped. Homelessness - wasn't a problem before Californication raising housing prices, raising property taxes to the point REAL Montanans can't live there anymore. I now live in South America, in a town like Bozeman was 100 years ago. Growing up in Bozeman my neighbor had a basement apartment that was $200 a month. Today it's around $1,500. Suicide - I have struggled with suicidal thoughts all my life. Family issues, religious expectations, isolation and lack of sunlight exposure all contribute.
I am 77. I have had suicide thoughts for 5 years. Montana is a terrible place to live. Yeah, summertime is great, but weather is hot. Winter is brutal and long. If you are rich, I mean young AND rich, you can make Montana a play ground with endless parties. Everybody has a 4WD Suburban or pickup truck to drive anywhere they want. Bozeman is full of obese people that are on the go all the time. They drive Subarus with 2 or three kids. God knows what they do for money, 'cuz jobs don't pay much. Try working at Walmart.
Since this video was published the Supreme Court Overturned the ability of local officials to remover homeless from public places. But drugs do need to be addressed up front... everywhere.
Escaped Illinois in 2014 for Montana. No regrets. Advice - DON'T drink and drive, don't do meth, keep to yourself and protect yourself. Homeless camps are increasing but like he said the libs in the city government won't move to stop it. Just with the people from the left coast would stay out - they bring their politics with them.
@@AS_ONYXsure you do!! Anyone from Cali is bad news! Don't come here. We don't want you here!!! Ppl from Cali don't own a globe. They don't realize it's cold and snows here. Stay where you are!! We don't need more of Newsome voters here! Montana is closed!!!
Winter conditions typically last from the middle of November to the middle of April with some random conditions on the front and back end of that stretch. So 5 months-ish.
@johnjaco5544 oh. What's wrong about it? If anything I was generous on the time frame and November and April are pretty mild so the winder is December to march. With some sporadic witer storms in October, November and April. Then your random 1 or 2 day storms and snow flurries that melt off on the fringe.
Part of the reason there are more alcohol driving deaths in MT is because if you drive off a cliff or into a creek, you will probably die, unlike in a city where you usually just hit a light post or get pulled over.
Every place has positives and negatives but I really like that you are talking about the negatives, so people aren’t going solely on their Yellowstone fantasies. Montana is an expensive place to live well. If you can’t get your life there figured out BEFORE you go, you are probably going to be disappointed.
It’s funny how people believe they can move their location and everything will be better. Whatever problems they had before they’re going to still have.
The biggest drug consumer in the world is the USA and China knows it. China produces tons of Fentanyl and other new drugs that pass thru the southern border all the way to Montana and every corner where the market demands them. Similar to guns, drugs are lethal, it all depends on human behavior.
These problems are in all 50 states give me a break Montana is not that special to be immune to these problems! It’s the whole downfall of humankind and we are living in the last days!
I just stumbled onto your channel Everything you said is true. I was not aware of the Federal court ruling forbidding states and local communities from enforcing vagrancy laws. I suspect such orders are not constitutional, but good luck finding elected officials who will challenge or disobey them. That part of Montana culture also seems to be fading.
@@HarrisGroupMT obviously spoken like a newcomer....yes you are leeches, sucking the life out of the economy and destroying the future good luck to your kids chance of being able to stay here after highschool assuming they still want to after you folks have paved the valley and made a Billings
That's economics. That's demand outweighing supply over prolonged periods of time and spiking demand during the pandemic. It is nuts, but if we don't lean, and just say this is crazy it will keep happening. We need to green light development and increase supply, not demonize it like the original commenter did. Also #investinrealestate
@@HarrisGroupMT guess what there is almost no developers building affordable housing....almost none....and if development hasnt already been green lighted here I dont know what your definition of green light is? Do you have any perspective on how demographics have changed in the area did you see the area before the rapid unfettered influx of wealth that permanently alters everything for everyone....Do you remember all the broken promises lies and environmental damage of developers....do you remember when you could drink from the gallatin river and not being drinking rich part timers shit.... Time for a big quake to shake the foundations of greed....Are you even from here? Do you recognize the flowers in the foothills that are now blooming with wasteful starter castles in elk and mule deer range....do you even care, no
He did a good job. I know he didnt stress this much, glad he mentioned it, is the winters here. People come up here in the summer when the days are almost 18 hours long and fall in love with it, in the winter, they are cold and only 7 or 8 hours of sunlight. It is a factor that if you come here, needs to be addressed. It also affects increasing drug and alcohol use during those short days and long nights. It is a factor that you must mentally prepare for.
So the worst things about Montana are alcohol and drug abuse? Interesting that MT is also one of the happiest states! Coincidence? Maybe not. Could it be that that very loose interpretation of personal freedom is responsible for the high level of happiness?
Every drunk and every drug addict affect the lives negatively of at least six other people closest to them so it's not just the drunks and the drug addicts that are sick it's their families their bosses their coworkers Etc you may want to find out where a 12-step program is at if you go there
@@montanawarren8462 That’s true for some people, unfortunately, but for the vast majority, it’s just a fun night out. I agree that drugs can be a problem, but I am witness to prohibitionist policies destroying millions of innocent lives, to control a substance that did virtually no harm, e.g. the case of cannabis. Drunken driving should be severely punished, as it is in the UK (a year in prison, mandatory, first offense). People rarely drive drunk in the UK. Other drugs are only rarely a public safety problem, except to users. Prohibition has never worked.
I hope montana fights gentrification. Gentrification only helps the wealthy but kills the middle and lower class. If the rich keeps gentrifying everywhere the working class wont have anywhere too go.
As a Californian from the rural central part of the state let me tell you…yes they will. Central California is a very conservative farming and oilfield area known for small town life and Christian values but the influx of people from “the bay” and “socal” is still a lot to deal with. Easy fix for me was to join the army and just let them move me around 😂
We took a year off traveled the country to find a new home. We thought we would like Montana more. Gambling in every gas station, rude drivers, not enough public land as compared to southern neighbors and a very short summer is why we settled just south of Montana
Bozeman is the most overrated City in America. I lived there for 5 years. Started a company, then sold it and left the area and state entirely. It's a joke!
It isn't. You have a real estate agent with liberal guilt blowing it out of proportion. He probably wants people to leave so he can sell their houses all over again.
i've lived in miSsoula since 1986 and I love it here. my family has been here since 1921. take the information in the video with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Most of those homes in Western Billings amd other places are just summer vacation homes. They dont bring in yearly tax revenue for the city. Its the Palm Springs of the North.
@@Madybananas that's because it's not very populated a million people in the whole state and it's the fourth largest state in the Union but the cold weather will undo all that BS Yellowstone stuff.... 2 months growing season, 40 acres to 1 cow, no jobs....
I live in Washington, and visit family in Kalispell MT. The first thing I notice while entering the sate is miles and miles of roads lined with crosses from people who died while driving and I also couldn't help but notice while driving these roads that there are no signs telling you how fast to go on these roads. I have a nephew who is only 14 and is now driving!
A lot of those crosses are from decades back when the highways were narrow two lane, no shoulder, and very few snow plows let alone deicer. There are signs on how fast to go. If the road is winding, slow the hell down. If it’s only two lane slow the hell down. Guess common sense is a problem from Washington people.
@@KAT-dg6el Apparently the DMV in Washington never taught that. If those crosses have been there since that far back maybe it would take a little commonsense to toss them. Guess commonsense like throwing away old road debris is a problem from Montana people.
@Robert-ex2qp there is some good snowmobiling out here you would love it. The Buyer's Specialist on our team used to ride snowmobiles professionally. How can we help? Feel free to reach out. Kyler@harrisgroupre.com
@@Robert-ex2qp I know these problems are everywhere and especially bad in blue states. It's just that when these red states start to build the same problem they're so shocked that it could happen to them too.
So Finland is EU's Montana... Happiest people in Europe, most suicides per capita.. Since I'm from Eu, I choose Finland. Montana is the most beautiful state!
How about people stop taking drugs? I don't see where the gov't is in charge of being in charge or the solution to a citizen's personal agency. Socialists can't stop being victims and drag this country down with them. How about we vote for more personal freedom and less slavery to the system?
Nary a mention of the kleptocracy presiding over the current governorship or Attorney General office let alone, the majority in both legislative branches.
Anyone with eyes to see and a mind that can discern when they’re being lied to can say it is not a happy situation in any US state…the fact that a refugee is given double and more the benefits and then no required to pay in any tax or have to abide by any of the rules an American has to abide by….makes it even that much more hopeless….the gov employs over 9 million job positions that don’t have to pay in income taxes yet the gov is shrinking the private sector of the economy where most of the taxes paid in come from..,how do they expect us to continue holding up their very expensive job market for gov employees and refugee immigration when they’re taking higher amounts from the private sector to the point people can’t afford to live with just the basics.,,it’s eating its funding source lol
They don't care as long as their pockets are full and to be truthful with you they're not that smart to figure all that out but when the money dries up then they might start wanting to change things if we had a good Revolution nobody would pay their taxes that would stop 90% of the BS.....
My 'fan edit' short version of this Video starts: "Montana has some problems.." Next line: "All the people who moved here since 2020 are the problem." "The only exception being MAGA people" That's it! Short and sweet! My fan edit video title: "Welcome to Montana. Now leave (unless you are MAGA)"
I can't blame the folks living in campers! Bidenomics is crushing the dollar! Nobody can afford a house. If I didn't have children, I would hella live in a camper!
@@davezad You assume a whole lot about me. I own a nice home. That said, my statement stands. Work harder is such an ignorant statement! Inflation and housing costs are through the roof while wages stay stagnant. God forbid people have a life outside of working 18 hour days. Some of us enjoy being around our families. Based on your shit attitude, I imagine your family wants nothing to do with you so makes sense you would live at work.🤡🤡🤡
This has been going on for at least a generation now. To make it simple for you that means more than a single president. Love how folks blame one president, skip one they voted for then blame the next one. America has been declining since Regan was elected.
What help is there in Montana with those with mental-health issues? Like the coverage of medication, food benefits and counseling and those of very low income who are contemplating section8 housing, etc?
@@KAT-dg6el That is kinda stupid because the population in Montana compared to other states the section 8 is most likely two or three times longer. I guess that just goes to show Montana doesn't have very many people that do government jobs. I guess that also means the disability care in Montana is very lack. Seems I have to give my family a hard, "no" on me moving to Montana.
Drinking is something that occurs in every state. This seems more like a crusade video against drinking. I do not condone drinking and driving by any means. I do agree with the drug issue, though.
You be careful in Chicago the snow is deeper & the humidity causes it to be much colder.... you can't even dress to stay warm .... in Montana you just keep adding layers and if you're going to freeze to death you just go to sleep and don't wake up...in Chicago you just freeze to death in misery
Is it True Montana's Healthcare isn't the best either? If there is a Trama Incident there's a Probal Chance you will have to be flown to Salt Lake City, UT or Seattle, WA for the nearest Hospital to be looked at Is that true?
Kalispell has decent doctors because good doctors decided started moving there because it’s so pretty. Great Falls, on the other hand, everyone of their medical “professionals” must have passed with a D average.
70 MPH Highway speeds everybody including law enforcement is doing 80-85 MPH! Add alcohol and the favorite drug of choice...WHAT COULD POSSIABLY GO WRONG!
People in RVs will ALWAYS be better than people in tents or just on the sidewalk. RVs are at least shelter, can be legally regulated bc they're vehicles. When youre in a vehicle you can hold down a job and attempt bettering your life.
Except for the problem of how to keep your RV pulled into electricity, which is necessary to keep your engine working in the Winters. Engineblock-heaters are necessary and require electricity
The homelessness in Montana is stemming from the disgustingly high housing prices elsewhere. There is lots of blm land and people head out on it in milder months now, only to realize it's too harsh to exist comfortably in an RV in the winter. Also, the experts are waking up and finding forensic science avenues regarding staged suicide. These statistics will change.
Thank you for making this. Yellowstone has glamorized Montana, and it is really hard to live here for many reasons. We don't really like outsiders. We're super proud of our state, but we don't want to share.
Ehh me and my wife are looking into coming out, not looking to change anything and several people I've talked to are extremely interested in me being a mobile diesel mechanic.
Our gov makes a ton of money off of drugs…first by bringing them into the country then by busting people and not the dealers …who generally are snitches working with the cops so really…the drug problem is a government problem
I lived there for 8 years. That's why everyone is so depressed and the highest suicide rate in the US. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS! I had to leave and I didn't drink or do drugs. After you see some places and have some fun... unless you are uber wealthy... it's not a great state on any level!
Just like every state the big problem is progressive attitudes in the major metropolitan areas that invites lawlessness that spills outward into the rural areas.. Thank all the do gooders who coddle the homeless and druggies..
8.39 out of 100k people, with a state over a million people thats .00839 per capital. seems like a real problem. number one in the nation, while its the lease densely populated state among most. oh i see your problem is living in bozeman. good luck with that. enjoy your median house prices. also no one move to montana its so ass! worst state ever.
Huh? I stay away from the toxic religious cult people. I have no problem with them. If necessary I tell them I’m atheist and I tell them why. They tend to stay away from me because of fear from their god.
Montana Crime statistics compare very favorably with the rest of the country and I think that is why many people are moving here. Homelessness is a minor problem where liberals have been allowed to take over government like Boseman and Missoula.
Those who have issues with campers are people who come from other states and want to change the culture. They can go back to were they came from. This is the mountains. People camp. They just need to stay clean about it.
I don't think anyone has issues with campers or camping in MT. The concern is about "urban campers" or homeless encampments that have popped up on city streets and are often not well kept or clean.
When is Montana all about camping on a street? I’m a four generation Montana and I have a major issue with these lowlifes coming in with their campers , or cars, that hardly made it here. They don’t have toilet facilities and hop out and crap in somebody’s front yard. You been living under a rock?
HEY, I WANT TO LEAVE A MESSAGE TO THE GUY IN THIS VIDEO! ( IM USING CAPITALS TO HIGHLIGHT MY WORDS AND MESSAGE, NOT TO "YELL" ) I JUST FOUND YOUR VIDEO HERE AND WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT YOU MADE A VIDEO TELLING THE OTHER SIDE OF THE REALITIES TO MONTANA FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WHO ARE CONSIDERING MOVING THERE. REALITY IS REALITY. EVERYTHING YOU POINTED OUT IS HAPPENING IN EVERY STATE TO SOME DEGREE ALL OVER AMERICA! LETS FACE IT AMERICA ( AND THE REST OF THE WORLD ) SUCKS! BUT! THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IS CAN ALL BE CORRECTED MORE THAN NOT, IF AND ONLY IF, GOOD PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF ( AND I DONT KNOW YOU, BUT GOING BY THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES, AND YOUR VIBE AND WORDS AND VIDEO PRODUCTION ) I THINK YOU ARE PROBABLY A REAL GOOD GUY AND THAT YOU SINCERELY CARE ABOUT WHERE YOU LIVE AND THE PEOPLE YOU SHARE MONTANA WITH. SO LET ME TELL YOU SOME THINGS. 1- THE GOVERNOR OF EACH STATE HAS THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWER TO SINGLE HANDEDLY CORRECT ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS! IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MAYORS OR THE CITY COUNCILS OR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, ITS ALL ON THE GOVERNORS! I CAN THINK OF SEVERAL THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE IMMEDIATELY IN ALL STATES, BUT MONTANA TOO, TO STOP EVERYTHING YOU MENTIONED! THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH JOBS, AND OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT MONTANA! BILLINGS IS THE LARGEST POPULATION AND THAT IS WHERE MOST OF THE MONEY IS IN ALL OF MONTANA! NOT GOOD! THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE SMALL BUISSNESS, AND FOR THAT THERE WILL NEED TO BE BANK LOANS FINANCED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE GOVERNMENT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A REFOCUS FROM DRUG USERS AND DEALERS TO THE SUPPLIERS AND MANUFACTURERS, I AM CERTAIN THE GOVERNMENT CAN FIND BOTH! IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO! THE TRUTH IS, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKING MONEY FROM THIS DRUG PANDEMIC! ALL OVER AMERICA! SO TO START IOSLATING THE PROBLEMS IN EACH STATE, THERE NEEDS TO BE SPECIFIC ACTIONS TAKEN. THE COSTS OF LIVING NEED TO BE LOWERED, AND THAT IS ALSO IN THE HANDS OF THE GOVERNOR OF MONTANA! HE OR SHE CAN TALK WITH ALL THE LAND OWNERS WHO RENT AND GET THEM TO LOWER THEIR RENTS SO EVERYONE CAN AFFORD A PLACE TO LIVE! THERE ARE TAX EXCEPTIONS AND OTHER INCENTIVES THAT CAN BE OFFERED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN! THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE A STATE MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO ATTRACT PEOPLE AND FAMILIES FROM ALL THE OVER POPULATED STATES THROUGH OUT AMERICA TO MOVE TO MONTANA! MORE PEOPLE WOULD MEAN MORE HOUSING, MORE BUISSNESS BEING CREATED, WITH THE START UP LOANS FROM THE BANKS, SMALL BUISSNESSES CAN BEGIN TO OPEN ALL OVER THE STATE. THE EAST SIDE OF MONTANA IS PERFECT FOR FARMING! THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE VARIETY OF CROPS GROWN TO INCREASE THEIR SALES AND PROFITS! WHICH WILL BENEFIT THE WHOLE STATE! THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE FREE HIGH QUALITY DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT PLACES THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO HELP STOP THAT PROBLEM! WHO WILL PAY FOR IT? THE STATE! WHERE WILL THE GOVERNOR GET THE MONEY? FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATE RICH POPULATION OF THE STATE! OK YOU GET THE IDEAS! NOW HERE IS WHERE I SUGGEST YOU! YES YOU ( THE GUY IN THIS VIDEO ) SERIOUSLY SIT DOWN WITH YOUR WIFE ( I NOTICED YOUR WEDDING BAND ) AND DISCUSS YOU RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR OF MONTANA!!!!!!! : ) ALL THE STATES IN AMERICA NEED GOVERNORS WHO ARE REAL PEOPLE , NOT POLITICIANS, WHO ARE NOT BEING BOUGHT OR CORRUPTED BY THE RICH, AND WHO REALLY HONESTLY CARE ABOUT THEIR STATE AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE, AND WHO, WANT TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT! ITS REALLY THAT SIMPLE. THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS WRONG EVERYWHERE. BUT WE NEED PEOPLE TO START MAKING THINGS RIGHT! AND WE CAN ALL DO THAT TO SOME DEGREE EVERYWHERE.. BUT EACH STATE NEEDS A LEADER FOR THEIR STATE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE THE SECURITY AND STABILITY AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THAT STATES SOCIAL STRUCTURES! SO PEOPLE CAN GO ABOUT THEIR LIVES AND LIVE IN A HIGH QUALITY AND HEALTHY, SAFE PEACEFUL ENVIORMENT WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS AND HAPPINESS! THEN NO ONE WILL HAVE TIME TO BE DEPRESSED AND TURNING TO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL! THINK ABOUT IT.. IF YOU WANT TO TALK MORE WITH ME? GET IN TOUCH!
Be happy that beer and whiskey is popular. Would you rather have heroin, fentanyl, meth, cocaine, all the insanity causing pot as popular as alcohol? I almost stopped watching this video when made that statement.
Don't move here! (Unless you are an attractive unmarried woman age 18-38 who is MAGA and wants to get married and start a family). Sorry guys, we're full! Sorry leftists and city people, keep moving. I hear Portland is nice!
It’s ok I’m an alcoholic , I drive and drink 🍺 every day, I can handle it and good to know I can blend very well with Montanans 🎊 🎉 , see you soon my new home ❤🎉🏠 in Montana 🎉
Here in Kalispell even judges and police have drinking problems and there's no accountability for it. You also didn't mention the lack of diversity and obvious discrimination or the fact that a significant amount of the homeless here are locals who have been residents ten or more years and NOT people who moved here to be homeless on purpose in -30° winters just to use your programs as people around here are saying. You also might talk about how much long term locals resent people moving here. If you want to move here, you will be made to feel very unwelcome.
There is a lot of land in Montana. Why not provide lots for campers, free or at nominal charge, equipped with restrooms, etc., to get them off the street? The government could do that at very low cost.
First, the government can't do anything at a low cost. Second, a good portion of those people in campers have jobs in town. They would need some form of transportation assistance. Third, good luck finding an area where the people living in the area would be on board with the idea. The reason this is happening is partially due to Airbnb taking over the majority of rentals in town. That and developers can make more money on McMansion ranchettes than affordable housing for the general population.
@@randallvoth8810 The government does MANY things at low cost, it’s just that you are, apparently, unaware of them. Obamacare is one, Medicare is another, our infrastructure is another, including our streets, bridges and highways, and our water supplies and sewage systems are others. Virtually every single thing people do as groups, i.e. as a society, under the government, comes in MUCH CHEAPER than the commercial alternative would ever be! What do you want, FREE? It’s the economy of scale, and nothing does scale like the government. Nothing is free, but that which we do as a society costs LESS than any other alternative.
House prices are high due to taxes are high on real estate. That is why we raised our large family in Spokane. But we still have the ranch I grew up on outside of Lewistown. Now Billionaires are moving in there to buy ranches. Plus there are not enough homes in Lewistown so rents are sky high etc
Homelessness and drugs are a problem in ALL states.
yep, but some states are worse than others.

From Montana:
Driving- I am permanently injured by a 94 year old blind woman driving. Not alcohol.
Drugs- disclosure: As a teen I was drugged most days. Due to divorce and distance within my family. It helped.
Homelessness - wasn't a problem before Californication raising housing prices, raising property taxes to the point REAL Montanans can't live there anymore. I now live in South America, in a town like Bozeman was 100 years ago. Growing up in Bozeman my neighbor had a basement apartment that was $200 a month. Today it's around $1,500.
Suicide - I have struggled with suicidal thoughts all my life. Family issues, religious expectations, isolation and lack of sunlight exposure all contribute.
Where at in South America? Is it cheaper to live there? Are there a lot of jobs available? Is there a high crime rate?

I'm from California looking to move to Montana or Idaho, don't worry I vote red I'm tired of living around morons.
@@AS_ONYXsure you do!! Anyone from Cali is bad news! Don't come here. We don't want you here!!! Ppl from Cali don't own a globe. They don't realize it's cold and snows here. Stay where you are!! We don't need more of Newsome voters here! Montana is closed!!!
Our biggest problem Local,and state government. And high property taxes. Don't forget The 8 months of winter. lack of livable wage jobs.
8 months of winter? what months are you considering winter 😂 Are you from California ?
Sir, depending on the winter it's more like 10 months
Winter conditions typically last from the middle of November to the middle of April with some random conditions on the front and back end of that stretch. So 5 months-ish.
@@HarrisGroupMT that's wrong.
@johnjaco5544 oh. What's wrong about it? If anything I was generous on the time frame and November and April are pretty mild so the winder is December to march. With some sporadic witer storms in October, November and April. Then your random 1 or 2 day storms and snow flurries that melt off on the fringe.
Part of the reason there are more alcohol driving deaths in MT is because if you drive off a cliff or into a creek, you will probably die, unlike in a city where you usually just hit a light post or get pulled over.
Governor of Alaska is offering to pay one way flights to La, or places who openly accept homeless
In return we can ship all our nuclear waste to Fairbanks…
They sent them all to Cali.
Ship them to NYC, that Sanctuary City welcomes everyone
Every place has positives and negatives but I really like that you are talking about the negatives, so people aren’t going solely on their Yellowstone fantasies. Montana is an expensive place to live well. If you can’t get your life there figured out BEFORE you go, you are probably going to be disappointed.
100%
Like his take on this too. People always want to pretty things up like that will address the deep issues.
It’s funny how people believe they can move their location and everything will be better. Whatever problems they had before they’re going to still have.
The biggest drug consumer in the world is the USA and China knows it. China produces tons of Fentanyl and other new drugs that pass thru the southern border all the way to Montana and every corner where the market demands them. Similar to guns, drugs are lethal, it all depends on human behavior.
These problems are in all 50 states give me a break Montana is not that special to be immune to these problems! It’s the whole downfall of humankind and we are living in the last days!
Aren’t a lot of these issues common in most rural areas in general?
I just stumbled onto your channel Everything you said is true. I was not aware of the Federal court ruling forbidding states and local communities from enforcing vagrancy laws. I suspect such orders are not constitutional, but good luck finding elected officials who will challenge or disobey them. That part of Montana culture also seems to be fading.
Thanks for watching. The court decision definitely complicated things.
@@HarrisGroupMTwell you know Biden's trying to get more votes
Biden needs those votes
One of the darkest aspects of Montana is the realtors and developers...working homeless people are victims of the real estate market
So dark. We're real life supervillains.
@sheila1557 how does inflation and basic economics of supply and demand make Real Estate agents bad?
@@HarrisGroupMT obviously spoken like a newcomer....yes you are leeches, sucking the life out of the economy and destroying the future good luck to your kids chance of being able to stay here after highschool assuming they still want to after you folks have paved the valley and made a Billings
That's economics. That's demand outweighing supply over prolonged periods of time and spiking demand during the pandemic. It is nuts, but if we don't lean, and just say this is crazy it will keep happening. We need to green light development and increase supply, not demonize it like the original commenter did. Also #investinrealestate
@@HarrisGroupMT guess what there is almost no developers building affordable housing....almost none....and if development hasnt already been green lighted here I dont know what your definition of green light is? Do you have any perspective on how demographics have changed in the area did you see the area before the rapid unfettered influx of wealth that permanently alters everything for everyone....Do you remember all the broken promises lies and environmental damage of developers....do you remember when you could drink from the gallatin river and not being drinking rich part timers shit.... Time for a big quake to shake the foundations of greed....Are you even from here? Do you recognize the flowers in the foothills that are now blooming with wasteful starter castles in elk and mule deer range....do you even care, no
He did a good job. I know he didnt stress this much, glad he mentioned it, is the winters here. People come up here in the summer when the days are almost 18 hours long and fall in love with it, in the winter, they are cold and only 7 or 8 hours of sunlight. It is a factor that if you come here, needs to be addressed. It also affects increasing drug and alcohol use during those short days and long nights. It is a factor that you must mentally prepare for.
So the worst things about Montana are alcohol and drug abuse? Interesting that MT is also one of the happiest states! Coincidence? Maybe not. Could it be that that very loose interpretation of personal freedom is responsible for the high level of happiness?
You mean the state actually lives the American dream?
@@grahamindustries64 No, that’s not what I mean.
Every drunk and every drug addict affect the lives negatively of at least six other people closest to them so it's not just the drunks and the drug addicts that are sick it's their families their bosses their coworkers Etc you may want to find out where a 12-step program is at if you go there
@@montanawarren8462 That’s true for some people, unfortunately, but for the vast majority, it’s just a fun night out. I agree that drugs can be a problem, but I am witness to prohibitionist policies destroying millions of innocent lives, to control a substance that did virtually no harm, e.g. the case of cannabis. Drunken driving should be severely punished, as it is in the UK (a year in prison, mandatory, first offense). People rarely drive drunk in the UK. Other drugs are only rarely a public safety problem, except to users. Prohibition has never worked.
Montanas only problems is all these fucking out of staters moving here
I second that!!
More trips to the train station.
🤣
I don't think Montana will sit still for gentrification.
Doesn't appear so
I hope montana fights gentrification. Gentrification only helps the wealthy but kills the middle and lower class. If the rich keeps gentrifying everywhere the working class wont have anywhere too go.
Oh yes they're going to gentrify you right out of town. No shits given..
Have no choice if people come in and buy everything.
As a Californian from the rural central part of the state let me tell you…yes they will. Central California is a very conservative farming and oilfield area known for small town life and Christian values but the influx of people from “the bay” and “socal” is still a lot to deal with. Easy fix for me was to join the army and just let them move me around 😂
We took a year off traveled the country to find a new home. We thought we would like Montana more. Gambling in every gas station, rude drivers, not enough public land as compared to southern neighbors and a very short summer is why we settled just south of Montana
Colorado or Utah probably
Thank you for your honesty. Many would not have given the negative
Bozeman is the most overrated City in America. I lived there for 5 years. Started a company, then sold it and left the area and state entirely. It's a joke!
wow I had no clue MT was so bad, super expensive, drugs, unwelcoming etc....
It isn't. You have a real estate agent with liberal guilt blowing it out of proportion. He probably wants people to leave so he can sell their houses all over again.
i've lived in miSsoula since 1986 and I love it here. my family has been here since 1921. take the information in the video with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Totally agree with the alcohol problem, people don’t think about physics and science enough
Most of those homes in Western Billings amd other places are just summer vacation homes. They dont bring in yearly tax revenue for the city. Its the Palm Springs of the North.
Butte has steep hills, walkability is nearly impossible except for the most fit. And months and months of icy steep sidewalks makes walking dangerous!
Everything you said is true, but I still love Butte. It's like an ugly sister that has a hideous face but a heart of gold.
I'm in Washington and I am trying to get away from druggies and homeless people, so thanks for the warning. Take care.

@montanawarren8462 that's another downside I've heard, far travel to anything.
@@Madybananas that's because it's not very populated a million people in the whole state and it's the fourth largest state in the Union but the cold weather will undo all that BS Yellowstone stuff.... 2 months growing season, 40 acres to 1 cow, no jobs....
@@Madybananas Well Mady I hope we can both get out of Washington and on to better pastures!!!!🦬🐄🐄🐂🐮
I live in Washington, and visit family in Kalispell MT. The first thing I notice while entering the sate is miles and miles of roads lined with crosses from people who died while driving and I also couldn't help but notice while driving these roads that there are no signs telling you how fast to go on these roads.
I have a nephew who is only 14 and is now driving!
A lot of those crosses are from decades back when the highways were narrow two lane, no shoulder, and very few snow plows let alone deicer. There are signs on how fast to go. If the road is winding, slow the hell down. If it’s only two lane slow the hell down. Guess common sense is a problem from Washington people.
@@KAT-dg6el Apparently the DMV in Washington never taught that.
If those crosses have been there since that far back maybe it would take a little commonsense to toss them. Guess commonsense like throwing away old road debris is a problem from Montana people.
Same problems as any other state.
Its a beautiful place, but you gotta love the cold and snow ! Housing is super expensive !
Well that explains all the white crosses you see along every single roadway.
Becoming an issue in Bozeman and Missoula, hmmmmmm, the main towns Californians are moving to 🤔
The drug situation in Montana sounds very depressing...
It can be. For the most part, it is out of sight, and most people are blissfully unaware there is an issue.
Can you post a link to where you get your statistics? These problems are nation wide. Thanks for giving both sides.
I will complie the links and add them to the description. Will probably be tomorrow. Thanks for watching.
@@HarrisGroupMT Thanks, I am looking hard into Montana, Snowmobile would be my winter sport.

What is the government doing about the drugs situation???
They are fighting drugs. But it's not an easy problem to solve. Some cities are better at going after drugs than others.
@@HarrisGroupMT Evidently Idaho has been spared the worst of it.
How about people stop taking drugs? I don't see where the gov't is in charge of being in charge or the solution to a citizen's personal agency. Socialists can't stop being victims and drag this country down with them. How about we vote for more personal freedom and less slavery to the system?
The government is doing the drugs!
Nary a mention of the kleptocracy presiding over the current governorship or Attorney General office let alone, the majority in both legislative branches.
Great vid. Thanks for
Anyone with eyes to see and a mind that can discern when they’re being lied to can say it is not a happy situation in any US state…the fact that a refugee is given double and more the benefits and then no required to pay in any tax or have to abide by any of the rules an American has to abide by….makes it even that much more hopeless….the gov employs over 9 million job positions that don’t have to pay in income taxes yet the gov is shrinking the private sector of the economy where most of the taxes paid in come from..,how do they expect us to continue holding up their very expensive job market for gov employees and refugee immigration when they’re taking higher amounts from the private sector to the point people can’t afford to live with just the basics.,,it’s eating its funding source lol
They don't care as long as their pockets are full and to be truthful with you they're not that smart to figure all that out but when the money dries up then they might start wanting to change things if we had a good Revolution nobody would pay their taxes that would stop 90% of the BS.....

I can't blame the folks living in campers! Bidenomics is crushing the dollar! Nobody can afford a house. If I didn't have children, I would hella live in a camper!
Why is it *always* someone else's fault with you people? If you can't afford a house, obviously you don't work hard enough. 🙄
@@davezad You assume a whole lot about me. I own a nice home. That said, my statement stands. Work harder is such an ignorant statement! Inflation and housing costs are through the roof while wages stay stagnant. God forbid people have a life outside of working 18 hour days. Some of us enjoy being around our families. Based on your shit attitude, I imagine your family wants nothing to do with you so makes sense you would live at work.🤡🤡🤡
@davezad don't be ridiculous. This Democrat Biden administration lies about almost everything, especially economic statistics.
This has been going on for at least a generation now. To make it simple for you that means more than a single president. Love how folks blame one president, skip one they voted for then blame the next one. America has been declining since Regan was elected.
Homeless is increasing right along with all the drug use there guy.
What help is there in Montana with those with mental-health issues? Like the coverage of medication, food benefits and counseling and those of very low income who are contemplating section8 housing, etc?
I just read that the eliminated section 8 housing because there’s too many people on the list.
@@KAT-dg6el That is kinda stupid because the population in Montana compared to other states the section 8 is most likely two or three times longer. I guess that just goes to show Montana doesn't have very many people that do government jobs.
I guess that also means the disability care in Montana is very lack.
Seems I have to give my family a hard, "no" on me moving to Montana.
We hand you a bottle of vodka as soon as you enter the state! Hope that helps?
@@niccovisconti1712 Alcohol never helps!
Drinking is something that occurs in every state. This seems more like a crusade video against drinking. I do not condone drinking and driving by any means. I do agree with the drug issue, though.
You're right, I'll move to Chicago instead...
🤣
You be careful in Chicago the snow is deeper & the humidity causes it to be much colder.... you can't even dress to stay warm .... in Montana you just keep adding layers and if you're going to freeze to death you just go to sleep and don't wake up...in Chicago you just freeze to death in misery

Is it True Montana's Healthcare isn't the best either? If there is a Trama Incident there's a Probal Chance you will have to be flown to Salt Lake City, UT or Seattle, WA for the nearest Hospital to be looked at Is that true?

Let me be the first to ...not welcome you! Stay away! Montana is closed!
People in RVs will ALWAYS be better than people in tents or just on the sidewalk.
RVs are at least shelter, can be legally regulated bc they're vehicles.
When youre in a vehicle you can hold down a job and attempt bettering your life.
Except for the problem of how to keep your RV pulled into electricity, which is necessary to keep your engine working in the Winters. Engineblock-heaters are necessary and require electricity
Those weren’t suicides, those were disgruntled workers the Duttons took to the train station…

No way would I move to Montana.Scary people
So scary
Welcome to the real life my friends.
Costs less, and improvrs the city
I lived in Eastern Montana (Culbertson) and I would describe it as Hell and winter. I tried killing myself because I was so miserable there.
maine is worse

So you are saying you have a bunch of drunk’s. Perfect
There are a few for sure
True
Everyone here is drunk from sun up to sun up.
Hmmm, so MT passed Seattle on Suicide?
… interesting
The homelessness in Montana is stemming from the disgustingly high housing prices elsewhere. There is lots of blm land and people head out on it in milder months now, only to realize it's too harsh to exist comfortably in an RV in the winter. Also, the experts are waking up and finding forensic science avenues regarding staged suicide. These statistics will change.
Thank you for making this. Yellowstone has glamorized Montana, and it is really hard to live here for many reasons. We don't really like outsiders. We're super proud of our state, but we don't want to share.

I lived there for 8 years. That's why everyone is so depressed and the highest suicide rate in the US. ALCOHOL AND DRUGS! I had to leave and I didn't drink or do drugs. After you see some places and have some fun... unless you are uber wealthy... it's not a great state on any level!
Just like every state the big problem is progressive attitudes in the major metropolitan areas that invites lawlessness that spills outward into the rural areas.. Thank all the do gooders who coddle the homeless and druggies..
8.39 out of 100k people, with a state over a million people thats .00839 per capital. seems like a real problem. number one in the nation, while its the lease densely populated state among most. oh i see your problem is living in bozeman. good luck with that. enjoy your median house prices. also no one move to montana its so ass! worst state ever.

Montana Crime statistics compare very favorably with the rest of the country and I think that is why many people are moving here. Homelessness is a minor problem where liberals have been allowed to take over government like Boseman and Missoula.

Those who have issues with campers are people who come from other states and want to change the culture. They can go back to were they came from. This is the mountains. People camp. They just need to stay clean about it.
I don't think anyone has issues with campers or camping in MT. The concern is about "urban campers" or homeless encampments that have popped up on city streets and are often not well kept or clean.
When is Montana all about camping on a street? I’m a four generation Montana and I have a major issue with these lowlifes coming in with their campers , or cars, that hardly made it here. They don’t have toilet facilities and hop out and crap in somebody’s front yard. You been living under a rock?

HEY, I WANT TO LEAVE A MESSAGE TO THE GUY IN THIS VIDEO! ( IM USING CAPITALS TO HIGHLIGHT MY WORDS AND MESSAGE, NOT TO "YELL" ) I JUST FOUND YOUR VIDEO HERE AND WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED THAT YOU MADE A VIDEO TELLING THE OTHER SIDE OF THE REALITIES TO MONTANA FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF WHO ARE CONSIDERING MOVING THERE. REALITY IS REALITY. EVERYTHING YOU POINTED OUT IS HAPPENING IN EVERY STATE TO SOME DEGREE ALL OVER AMERICA! LETS FACE IT AMERICA ( AND THE REST OF THE WORLD ) SUCKS! BUT! THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IS CAN ALL BE CORRECTED MORE THAN NOT, IF AND ONLY IF, GOOD PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF ( AND I DONT KNOW YOU, BUT GOING BY THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES, AND YOUR VIBE AND WORDS AND VIDEO PRODUCTION ) I THINK YOU ARE PROBABLY A REAL GOOD GUY AND THAT YOU SINCERELY CARE ABOUT WHERE YOU LIVE AND THE PEOPLE YOU SHARE MONTANA WITH. SO LET ME TELL YOU SOME THINGS. 1- THE GOVERNOR OF EACH STATE HAS THE CONSTITUTIONAL POWER TO SINGLE HANDEDLY CORRECT ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS! IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MAYORS OR THE CITY COUNCILS OR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, ITS ALL ON THE GOVERNORS! I CAN THINK OF SEVERAL THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE IMMEDIATELY IN ALL STATES, BUT MONTANA TOO, TO STOP EVERYTHING YOU MENTIONED! THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH JOBS, AND OPPORTUNITIES THROUGHOUT MONTANA! BILLINGS IS THE LARGEST POPULATION AND THAT IS WHERE MOST OF THE MONEY IS IN ALL OF MONTANA! NOT GOOD! THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE SMALL BUISSNESS, AND FOR THAT THERE WILL NEED TO BE BANK LOANS FINANCED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE GOVERNMENT. THERE NEEDS TO BE A REFOCUS FROM DRUG USERS AND DEALERS TO THE SUPPLIERS AND MANUFACTURERS, I AM CERTAIN THE GOVERNMENT CAN FIND BOTH! IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO! THE TRUTH IS, THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKING MONEY FROM THIS DRUG PANDEMIC! ALL OVER AMERICA! SO TO START IOSLATING THE PROBLEMS IN EACH STATE, THERE NEEDS TO BE SPECIFIC ACTIONS TAKEN. THE COSTS OF LIVING NEED TO BE LOWERED, AND THAT IS ALSO IN THE HANDS OF THE GOVERNOR OF MONTANA! HE OR SHE CAN TALK WITH ALL THE LAND OWNERS WHO RENT AND GET THEM TO LOWER THEIR RENTS SO EVERYONE CAN AFFORD A PLACE TO LIVE! THERE ARE TAX EXCEPTIONS AND OTHER INCENTIVES THAT CAN BE OFFERED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN! THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE A STATE MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO ATTRACT PEOPLE AND FAMILIES FROM ALL THE OVER POPULATED STATES THROUGH OUT AMERICA TO MOVE TO MONTANA! MORE PEOPLE WOULD MEAN MORE HOUSING, MORE BUISSNESS BEING CREATED, WITH THE START UP LOANS FROM THE BANKS, SMALL BUISSNESSES CAN BEGIN TO OPEN ALL OVER THE STATE. THE EAST SIDE OF MONTANA IS PERFECT FOR FARMING! THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE VARIETY OF CROPS GROWN TO INCREASE THEIR SALES AND PROFITS! WHICH WILL BENEFIT THE WHOLE STATE! THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE FREE HIGH QUALITY DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT PLACES THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO HELP STOP THAT PROBLEM! WHO WILL PAY FOR IT? THE STATE! WHERE WILL THE GOVERNOR GET THE MONEY? FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE PRIVATE RICH POPULATION OF THE STATE! OK YOU GET THE IDEAS! NOW HERE IS WHERE I SUGGEST YOU! YES YOU ( THE GUY IN THIS VIDEO ) SERIOUSLY SIT DOWN WITH YOUR WIFE ( I NOTICED YOUR WEDDING BAND ) AND DISCUSS YOU RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR OF MONTANA!!!!!!! : ) ALL THE STATES IN AMERICA NEED GOVERNORS WHO ARE REAL PEOPLE , NOT POLITICIANS, WHO ARE NOT BEING BOUGHT OR CORRUPTED BY THE RICH, AND WHO REALLY HONESTLY CARE ABOUT THEIR STATE AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE, AND WHO, WANT TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT! ITS REALLY THAT SIMPLE. THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS WRONG EVERYWHERE. BUT WE NEED PEOPLE TO START MAKING THINGS RIGHT! AND WE CAN ALL DO THAT TO SOME DEGREE EVERYWHERE.. BUT EACH STATE NEEDS A LEADER FOR THEIR STATE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE THE SECURITY AND STABILITY AND FUNCTIONALITY OF THAT STATES SOCIAL STRUCTURES! SO PEOPLE CAN GO ABOUT THEIR LIVES AND LIVE IN A HIGH QUALITY AND HEALTHY, SAFE PEACEFUL ENVIORMENT WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS AND HAPPINESS! THEN NO ONE WILL HAVE TIME TO BE DEPRESSED AND TURNING TO DRUGS OR ALCOHOL! THINK ABOUT IT.. IF YOU WANT TO TALK MORE WITH ME? GET IN TOUCH!
Be happy that beer and whiskey is popular. Would you rather have heroin, fentanyl, meth, cocaine, all the insanity causing pot as popular as alcohol? I almost stopped watching this video when made that statement.
Don't move here! (Unless you are an attractive unmarried woman age 18-38 who is MAGA and wants to get married and start a family). Sorry guys, we're full! Sorry leftists and city people, keep moving. I hear Portland is nice!

Here in Kalispell even judges and police have drinking problems and there's no accountability for it. You also didn't mention the lack of diversity and obvious discrimination or the fact that a significant amount of the homeless here are locals who have been residents ten or more years and NOT people who moved here to be homeless on purpose in -30° winters just to use your programs as people around here are saying.
You also might talk about how much long term locals resent people moving here. If you want to move here, you will be made to feel very unwelcome.
You don’t need diversity to be a great place only racists worry about other peoples race
Never use drugs or alcohol. You could become a Republican.

There is a lot of land in Montana. Why not provide lots for campers, free or at nominal charge, equipped with restrooms, etc., to get them off the street? The government could do that at very low cost.
First, the government can't do anything at a low cost. Second, a good portion of those people in campers have jobs in town. They would need some form of transportation assistance. Third, good luck finding an area where the people living in the area would be on board with the idea.
The reason this is happening is partially due to Airbnb taking over the majority of rentals in town. That and developers can make more money on McMansion ranchettes than affordable housing for the general population.
@@randallvoth8810 The government does MANY things at low cost, it’s just that you are, apparently, unaware of them. Obamacare is one, Medicare is another, our infrastructure is another, including our streets, bridges and highways, and our water supplies and sewage systems are others. Virtually every single thing people do as groups, i.e. as a society, under the government, comes in MUCH CHEAPER than the commercial alternative would ever be! What do you want, FREE? It’s the economy of scale, and nothing does scale like the government. Nothing is free, but that which we do as a society costs LESS than any other alternative.
