Clifford “Cliff” Pruitt arrived in Bozeman in 1994 with a master’s degree, a Subaru wagon, and the firm conviction that he had found the last affordable mountain town in the West. He took a position in the MSU facilities department and bought a two-bedroom on South Third for what he would later describe, at every potluck and city commission meeting, as “a perfectly normal amount of money.” The house is now assessed at a figure that makes his daughter laugh when she visits from Seattle.
