Montana is one of the most beautiful places on earth, yet hardly anyone lives there. Why do sprawling metropolis pop up in places like Cleveland and Phoenix, but not Montana?

Ironically I am born and raised in phoenix. A ton of people aren’t local, most say they moved to get away from the snow. It’s a large city, which at least used to have a low cost of living, it doesn’t snow, and there are lots of jobs. It’s hella hot, but our summer is about as long as winter in Montana and fall-spring is pretty great.

The city it’s self propped up because a large river runs through the town and bronze age natives actually completed significant canal work before abandoning the area. The climate and water resources allowed for exceptional farming and ranching.
