The One Thing Montanans Say They’d Kick Out Of The State

Big Sky Country, The Last Best Place, and the Treasure State are all nicknames for the greatest state in America.

Locals Sound Off: What’s Ruining The Montana Vibe?

A while back I had asked, "If you could remove one thing from Montana, what would it be?" on social media.

While there were plenty of responses that said Montana was perfect, many more chimed in with their opinion about the things they say are annoying about Montana.

There was, however, one topic or answer that kept popping back up over and over as the one thing that they'd remove from our state.

It shouldn't surprise you to find out the biggest thing people want out of Montana is Californians.

It's not that we don't like people from California moving here; it's just that we don't like people moving here and trying to make it like there.

It doesn't matter where you come from; when you move to Montana, we sort of expect you to acclimate to our way of life. It's kinda of the reason you moved here, isn't it?

The second biggest answer as to what we want removed was wind.

Perhaps instead we just shift the direction the wind is blowing in and blow all those Californians back home.
