Caught this on twitter/reddit. Figured it was a worthy topic :devil:

Would you support someone building a replica to Bryant-Denny style house in your neighborhood? Hell, my neighborhood didn't allow a couple to put solar panels on their house. The whole NIMBY thinking is tiresome.




Couple plan to replicate Kinnick in 7,500-square-foot house

Maybe I live out in the county, my sister on one side, our aunt on my other side. The family that live across the road from me , all I got to say to him is isn't your grass to long. he cutting his yard about two three time a week.

that's just effed up. why would they not allow that? i'd tell them to try and stop me from doing it. luckily, i live in a non-covenant neighborhood where we can do just about anything we want. and nobody complains about anything. but if i wanted to put solar panels on my roof and someone didn't like it, i'd tell them too f#ckin' bad and that they could pay my electric bill if they wanted, but i'm puttin' solar panels on my roof regardless. in my opinion, no person has a right to tell another person how they can live or what their house has to look like or what it can or can't have. so if someone wants to pay my mortgage or any of my other bills (not that i have a mortgage, anymore) then they are free to tell what i can and can't put on my house. other than that, keep your mouth shut about my house and worry about your own stuff.

harsh? you betcha! but i don't care. you don't get to tell me how to live my life if i'm not hurting anyone else.


and on the same note, i'd certainly allow someone to build a home that resembled jordan-hare or any other stadium on their own land. i'd think it was ugly, obviously, but i wouldn't have a problem with it.
 
Not enough people in the neighborhood voted to allow changes to the covenants. Believe it's illegal to ban solar panels now, but the HOA has guidelines on where they go in terms of visibility.

In 8 years or so I'm planning on moving to Montana, looking at 5-20 acres within an 75 miles of one of the major cities - Bozeman, Helena, Missoula, or Billings. I'm planning on doing whatever I want on my land (including freezing my balls off during the winters). I'm ready for a slower pace of life and something more visual than water towers.

don't blame you one bit.

if i ever get the money to do so, i'm getting the hell out of jefferson county and moving to shelby county. i'd love to find about 100 acres so i could build a decent-sized house and then put a shooting range out back.

There's major cities in Montana?
 
Shelby can't hold a candle to the malfeasance of the Jefferson County government, but its growth over the past 30 years has it on its way to being oppressive in the nothern parts. You'd want to get out to the southern or eastern reaches for a little elbow room, and you'd still pay more to live in say, Vincent or Sterrett than you would in St. Clair or Talladega Counties. I'd like to swing 40 to 100 acres in Clay or Randolph.

We got some some friend that move from Montana. The way these two talk about that state, it better than Bama. But these two live in that state for about 30 years too!

I love Montana. On a vacation there several years ago we were eating at a small cafe and were seated near 3 local people. My son and I were wearing Alabama shirts and the locals soon struck up a conversation with us. My wife told them we really loved Montana and how beautiful it was everywhere we'd been. After a while I said, "When I retire I'd like to live in Montana, if I knew I could stand the winters."

The older gentleman, who hadn't said a word after our introduction, asked, "Have you lived in Alabama all your life?" I replied, "Yes sir." he said, "Son, I don't know anything about you but if you've lived in Alabama all your life, you're not tough enough to live through our winters. It gets cold and stays cold up here."

I don't doubt the old man was right. Good luck @planomateo, hope it works out for you.

Not sure about rain water collection, never really looked into that. Would probably look for a place with a well or get one put in.

Too many people die in Absaroka County :)

Supposedly someone "out west" was arrested for collecting rain water on his own land. Not sure oft he details.

And I agree about the deaths. It's that damn Casino. even though it's on the rez, it's causing havoc throughout.

It's not against the law in many states.

The question is how, now if, in my opinion. IE: Where/how are you going to store the water?

No mention of Montana here:

State Rainwater Harvesting Laws and Legislation

Gov't overreach is another good reason to live out on acreage that has an originating water source (a spring, a drainage basin that has a small stream, or a reliable well).

Passed through Livingston Montana, just outside Bozeman, in August, on my way to Yellowstone. They had a high school rodeo going on that evening, so I went over to get a look. As soon as it was dark the temp immediately dropped down into the 30's and it started snowing lightly and those kids riding bulls were bouncing on the freaking hard ground like a superball. The wildest thing I have seen. You think football players are tough? The state is beyond beautiful, but that is one cold place.
 
It a shame you can't catch rainwater in some city. Growing up we, and my grandparent would catch rainwater for washing clothes, washing dishes. Our drinking water came from the well and bucket.

Touche'. By major I mean 40k people more - Great Falls would be another one I could live near. Helena is only 30k, but close enough.

Major enough for me, tired of metropolis living.

When I first got into the mortgage business many moons ago, I was an account rep for Montana.

In Jan/Feb, it may as well be Alaska. So many appraisal comps I reviewed looked like a fucking tundra with barb wire fences...lol

I was there in early July. Paradise Valley (between Livingston and Yellowstone) is beautiful country. The Yellowstone River runs beside the road most of the way.
