    Boise is a beautiful city that compared to other cities in the U.S. is very clean and safe. With that being said over the course of the last three years the city and Treasure Valley has experienced massive growth due to people relocating from out of state, with the growth housing has become nearly unaffordable for locals, homelessness has increased, along with crime creating some resentment toward those who are from out of state especially from California.

      I walked all over the downtown area and it was the ONLY downtown that I have seen with no homeless! (that I saw) This stuck out to me as well. Idaho in general is a sparsely populated state, I'm thinking this has something to do with it.

      10 years ago one would have been able to say Boise had 0 homeless, but since the beginning of the pandemic the number has drastically increased, due to loss of jobs and the ridiculous increased price of housing. Had she traveled north two or three blocks she would have started seeing the small encampments of the homeless. Boise especially the downtown area is very proactive about keeping the homeless out and minimizing crime to provide a safe and clean environment for businesses and families to enjoy.

    I’d like to say that the city of Boise is downright beautiful. There’s no trash on the streets there are no homeless people hanging around. I am very seriously contemplating getting out of this crazy state of California that seems to be under the spell of Socialism. Let me assure you that if I were to move to Meridian, I would bring none of California’s politics with me.

      Boise is a blue dot in an otherwise very red state. The adjacent suburbs tend to be more conservative. Many conservative Californians who relocate here seem taken aback that Idaho's capital city is not a red state Mecca.

Great people, coffee shops, clean streets, safe neighborhoods.... but the average working class fella can't afford these nice places. fort collins, colorado, missoula, kalispel, Denver. colorado springs, boulder, colo are all unaffordable to even rent an apartment.. I love all these towns, but you have to make a good living to enjoy these places.. Sad, the middle class has been destroyed in this country!1
