Ranking The Best States To Live In The US. Where Is Montana?

Montana Is A Great Place To Live

We've always known that, in the pandemic, other states lost a bunch of people to Montana.

Back before the pandemic, a lot of people looked at moving to Montana because the cost of living was so low.

All of us that are still living in Montana know that that is (forever) gone.  We are watching fellow Montanans that used to live in Bozeman and the rest of the valley being priced out of their homes by the elite one percent that like to brag to their friends they have a home in the Yellowstone Club for when they want to play cowboy. This kind of thing is happening all over Montana.

Not to bemoan the Montana transplants that actually fit in quite nicely like David Letterman, Michael Keaton, Huey Lewis, and the Dude, Jeff Bridges. I also read great things about Justin Timberlake and Jessica Beal. People like that are welcome to put down roots in Big Sky Country because I think they value what it is to live here.
