Mayor John Engen Talks Housing on Tuesday’s KGVO Talk Back Show
On the monthly City Talk segment on KGVO’s Talk Back show, Missoula Mayor John Engen fielded several questions from listeners on the subject of housing, primarily affordable housing.
Engen said Missoula was ‘discovered’ due to the fact that people can work remotely away from crowded cities.
“I tell people that Missoula was discovered, as it were, through the pandemic and I think the pandemic sort of exacerbated in that our numbers were low and I think we ended up getting a lot of attention nationally,” said Engen. “So once again, we've got folks who can telecommute; they can make a living in a place where they want to live in, where they're comfortable, so I think we're going to continue to see that sort of migration.”
