受疫情后远程办公趋势和电视剧《黄石》效应影响,大量富裕外来者涌入美国蒙大拿州博兹曼市,引发严重的住房危机。自2019年以来,博兹曼人口增长约20%1,此前该地人口不足50,000人1。
房价和租金涨幅惊人。房地产经纪人Mark Corner指出,房屋价值在两年内飙升了40%1。市中心公寓租金已上涨至每月2000美元以上1,本地单收入者难以负担。博兹曼市长Joey Morrison表示,当地房租在1到2年内翻倍或翻了三倍1。Morrison回忆称,10年前他租住的房间月租为333美元,现在涨至900美元1。即使是移动房屋公园的地块租金也大幅上升,Mountain Meadows移动房屋公园的居民Ben Moore指出,每月地块租金增加了近100美元1。
住房危机的加剧促使当地租客采取行动。居民于5月组织罢工,这是蒙大拿州50年来的首次租金罢工1。同时,年轻政治人物崛起以争取住房权益。
博兹曼机场的景象反映了这一变化的规模。停机坪上每天停有80至100架私人飞机,主要服务于黄石俱乐部的富裕访客1。
Bozeman, Montana has experienced dramatic demographic and economic shifts in recent years, driven by post-pandemic remote work trends and the popularity of the television series "Yellowstone." The influx of wealthy newcomers has created a severe affordable housing crisis for longtime residents.
The city's population has grown approximately 20% since 2019, expanding from fewer than 50,000 residents 1. This rapid growth has fueled extraordinary increases in property values. According to real estate agent Mark Corner, home values have surged 40% within a two-year period 1. Downtown apartment rents have climbed above $2,000 per month, placing them beyond the reach of local single-income earners 1.
The scale of the affordability crisis is evident in personal accounts from local leaders. Bozeman Mayor Joey Morrison described rents doubling or even tripling within one to two years 1. He recalled paying $333 monthly for his room a decade ago; that same accommodation now costs $900 1. Even residents of mobile home parks face pressure, with Ben Moore of Mountain Meadows reporting monthly lot rental increases of nearly $100 1.
The boom has attracted significant private aviation activity. Bozeman airport's tarmac accommodates between 80 and 100 private jets daily, primarily serving wealthy visitors to the Yellowstone Club 1.
In response to the housing emergency, local tenants organized a rent strike in May—the first in Montana in 50 years 1. This action reflects growing grassroots mobilization around housing rights in the community.
