2025 Housing and Community Development Survey

This survey is biased in its creation by requiring 3 pre chosen responses to questions. In order to provide my feedback as a tax paying citizen of Missoula I was forced to say that I agreed with things I did not because I was forced to choose a minimum of three things. If you want REAL responses, allow more freedom by those surveyed to answer the way they really feel. Otherwise, this is just another joke of a survey designed to support pre chosen initiatives regardless of the real wants of taxpayers.

Lolo needs expansion of Sewer treatment plant to open up sewer permits!

Please consider traffic jams with wildfires. Many canyons are one way entrance and exit. Too much population in these areas can be deadly during wildfires. Please limit high density in one way canyons.

Since I started my renting journey here (obviously while being with my family I didn’t have to rent so prior to that nothing counts.) so since 18 until now as a renter I have noticed that more buildings keep going in that continue to put people that are not related around each other, which is fine for most, but for some it is a problem. I fall into the category of problem. I don’t want to hear them doing whatever it is that they are doing in their unit. I have fought so long and for a unit that has a roll in/walk-in shower separation by an attached garage all of the things to help this disabled person. Who ended up disabled because of others not because of anything that I did. But now I have certain needs because of mobility issues and mental health. I know that I cannot be the only one who has a need for single level dwelling that is separated, at least by a garage with separate yards Because yes if there’s somebody in my yard chances are, I’m going to jump out of my own skin. I do not like to be startled. So if you would be more inclined to build such places for the disabled and the handicapped, it would be much appreciated. Yes, it does take up more land to build such things, cuts into the money that they get, but there is a need. They also need to be rent capped and housing voucher approved.
Most landlords nowadays are not accepting section 8 vouchers and I get why, but it does present its problem when you are dealing with a disabled person. Which is how a lot of people end up in those housing complex projects. And then they end up with a problem of dealing with neighbors. Thank you I hope that this does Missoula good.
