• Montana Republicans are aligned behind zoning reform and other pro-housing policies.
• Montana's facing a housing shortage and affordability crisis and is passing a slew of bills to fight it.
• Pro-housing activists have messaged the policies as fighting California-style urban sprawl.

The deep red state of Montana is full of Republican YIMBYs, and they're using the time-honored bipartisan tradition of mocking California to alleviate their state's housing affordability crisis.
