Thanks to Travois residents who organized and spoke out, Oak Wood Properties—the TX-based company that owns two parks in the Missoula area—has walked back its proposed lot rent hike to $50 instead of $150 (on top of a $200 increase last year and new fees).https://t.co/AU3X3kZAgw
A Texas LLC bought a 280-unit trailer park in Missoula and raised rents by $1M more per year combined since ‘23. One resident on fixed income broke down crying.

In Montana, it's now illegal to display a Pride flag on gov't property.
However the law allows for any foreign nation's flag to be flown, so technically someone could fly, say, a DPRK or Iranian flag if they really wanted to.

This morning I filed to run for a second term on the Missoula City Council. While the last four years have been an adventure, I have enjoyed the trust Ward 4 has placed in me, & I am running for a second term to continue fighting for positive change in Missoula every day.
How out of touch are some of these billionaires running our government? Most seniors, or most of anyone, are going to notice and feel it if their paycheck or social security payment doesn’t show up. It’s their money and they’ve earned it. People would be rightfully pissed.
The Music City: Missoula moved up in national Pollstar Magazine rankings, placing No. 66 out of 100 top markets based concert tickets sold. That puts Missoula higher than larger cities such as New Orleans, Memphis and Tucson. https://t.co/2vpehVY57Z via @missoulian
@Barkingskwerl People who live in affordable housing deserve to have neighborhood parks too. And the Northside Park purchase replaces a current northside park that will be sold m.
@Barkingskwerl There should also be park space for a part of town underserved by parks, & attainable housing for the workforce that may not qualify for AMI restricted housing but struggle to live here. This will make a difference if we do it right, and the public will get to participate.(4/4)
@Barkingskwerl This has potential to make the largest single impact on affordable housing a city decision could make in my opinion, and Missoula has the right people in the room to make this happen including MEP & Neighborworks Montana and their newly launched Housing Impact Fund. (3/?)
If you woke up anxious about public polls or national narratives, go find your local field office and knock doors. If you are in Montana, hit me up and we’ll do it together. Panicking can wait until later. This is when you do the work.
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and National Guard here to help. People are so thankful and grateful for the support. Neighbors helping neighbors. #Missoulastrong

Bagged ice and water are available today at Fort Missoula Regional Park off South Avenue.
Bring your own containers for water.
