Look pretty nice. Anyone else thought they are trying to be the next Portland ? ;-) Maybe unpopular here, but I for one, like suburbs next to a big city. I can have access to the city once in a while, there is a potential large job market if I want to jump ship, but also have a garden and quiet streets. This is basically an ex-rural town with a history, but it just grew suburbs and tech offices around it. I rationally understand that it is unsustainable and I watched all the videos about death of suburbia and all that. Yet, am I going to uproot my family because I watched those videos and read a few article on HN? Probably not. I grew up in a city, in a small apartment, with noisy neighbors, piss in the elevator, being flooded from upstairs, getting pick-picketed in transport. So there is nothing romantic about that for me. I have also seen farming life and living in the rural areas, getting up at 5am in the cold and rain to feed the animals, worried about crops being eaten by pests, nope not for me either. I think if more places accepted remote work, and job market would be more stable, there would be a great opportunity to places like Billings.
