Don't Move to Boise ID in 2024 - SHOCKING REASONS WHY!

Thanks for the video! We've scratched Boise off the possible list permanently. Parts of Arizona are sure looking much better!

The problem with the lack of inventory to buy is the preference to build rental homes. I live in a nice 2,000-3,000 ft 3 car garage HOA neighborhood and the 5 acre lot that was GIVEN to the Boise school district for an elementary school was sold off to a developer building 100 rental homes. All over Boise the building is primarily rental homes and apartments.

There's a low reported crime rate because they don't tell you what is really going on. I've lived here my whole life over, 70 yrs and it is sad how much crime is hidden from the public. You won't see it on the local news. And another thing they dont tell people is we are very short of drs, so finding a dr os difficult and medical care stinks. We are short of teachers so classes are big. Roads are crowded because they dont keep up with the growth in traffic. He made it sound great, but he missed so much.

I remember when you could buy a house here for $60,000. Now those little homes are $450,000. Idaho has growing pains, doubling in size over the last 20 years from about 950,000 people, now it is near 2 million. Half of those live in and around the Treasure Valley. Supply has failed to meet demand. You mentioned spring, don't forget fake spring, followed by second fake spring. There's still snow on Shafer Butte, it's still fake spring.

Even 300k is ridiculously high. That far exceeds the amount a responsible person can take in a loan. People would know this is the banking sector hadn't loosened loan standards. A mortgage loan should never be more than 3 times your annual income if you are being responsible. If those loan standards still existed, then we wouldn't be in the absurd amount of debt nationally with people scrambling to survive.

Okay, rules to live by here in Idaho. Treat Idaho like hiking in the back woods. Leave it as you found it. In other words, don't come here yet bring your politics or acceptance of crime. We don't want gangs, graffiti, car jackings, your liberal politics or hear "There's no good mexican food here like California" or "The way we did it in California" No one cares, accept it or go back where you miss where left, but please don't try to change Idaho.

[@adamlhayman]

Let me speak to the racism thing here. I'm a Boise native who's nearing 50. My dad was black, and I'd catch a bit of flack for that when I was really young, but then it eased off. By the late 80s through the mid 2000s, pretty much nobody cared at all. By about mid 2010s I started to have people who judged me for either being brown and not a democrat, or for being mixed. Today, that is a lot worse. I encounter people on both sides politically who are fine with white people, black people, Hispanic people, etc. but being mixed, I get told I shouldn't exist, and that people like me are a mistake. So if you are moving here, and are mix black/white like me, don't correct people who think you are Mexican. It won't go well. If you are not white, and are a conservative, stay out of Boise. I say that because, as mentioned, Boise is fairly purple, but everywhere else around is deep red. I can count on one hand the number of Republicans I encountered who (excluding the ones that hate mixed people) actually cared at all about my race. However, it is a very different story when talking to Democrats who see my skin tone and discover I'm not a Democrat. They usually become extremely angry, often lob epithets, frequently threaten violence, and occasionally attempt it because I'm not behaving as I should and don't know my place. The ones that find out I'm not blue, and don't care, are the minority. A sizeable minority to be sure, but still the minority.

[@lonnieholcomb2078]

And water, the only reason any town can exist in southern Idaho? is they dammed up every creek and river they could in the early 1900's! Boise exists as it does today, because of Lucky Peak reservoir, Anderson Ranch Reservoir and Arrow rock reservoir. These 3 dams supply all of Ada counties Water usage for the summer on the Boise River Drainage. Also another water thing is, WATER RIGHTS. A relative of mine, a Water Well Driller in Eastern Oregon , pointed out to me if you own a bunch of real estate, but don't own the associated water rights, you don't have real estate, you just have a bunch of dirt. Translation You need to make sure all the water rights to the property are conveyed with the properties sale other wise you could be legally buggered. Also might want to check out the mineral rights to the property as well, just sayin ;)

[@rebeccamiddlebrook2603]

Tell them about the poor air quality. Fires push it into the dangerous and very dangerous range in the summer, and inversions keep the quality poor in the winter, too. This wasn’t even something I considered before moving here.

[@user-jb4xv4im9o]

@christinem.3733 I don't mind transplants if they are kind and accept our lifestyle instead of pushing us around because they don't like it. It's the entitled attitude, the way they look down on us, harass us to get moving faster, because we like the relaxed lifestyle and they don't, how they consider us backward because of it, it's this attitude that comes with them i don't like. We live here because we enjoy a slower paced, relax and smell the roses pace that is now pretty much nonexistent now. Even the green belt now has bicycles racing to get somewhere so it isn't as safe to walk and relax in nature. I've been bumped into several times by cyclists and they've yelled at me for being in their way when I was in my proper lane, they weren't. They were weaving around people in both lanes way too fast and cutting off walkers and not caring if they hit them. They didn't even stop to see if I was ok and I'm in my 70s. There is no place safe to go for relaxation and peace here anymore. I wish bikes weren't allowed on the green belt as they almost never obey the rules. They are supposed to yield to walkers and warn you they are passing. Rarely does this happen now. It's dangerous for the elderly.

Try coming from south east Idaho, Idaho Falls and Pocatello really do not have much in the food selection and Boise has tons more option when it comes to food and there’s more coming all the time, between Boise and Meridian and Eagle, there’s plenty of options, for Idaho in general, it’s the best in Treasure Valley then the whole state.

[@jimsteinway695]

Freaking traffic is unreal. From 6am to 7pm. Everywhere all the time. Used to be people were nice. And that was as recent as 2018 Now the California transplants are making it like LA. The developers are developing everything. They don’t care about your green space. They’ll develop a cemetery if they can get away with it. The infrastructure is 25 year’s behind. You can not go somewhere for 2-3 weeks and then there’s 4 new apartment buildings They’re draining all the wells dry. The streets are 1980 sized. The schools are impacted ALL over 100% capacity. Your kids will NOT get a good education. The cities and counties don’t care about their people. They care about what the developers pay them . Developers from Utah are forming LLCs coming here and making tons of promises then they build everything then dissolve the LLC and leave never filling those promises. And the Boise mayor might as well be from the gay area and she’s trying to make Boise another Portland

[@moa3008]

If the water supply in the local aquifers are depleted then the city’s water department should negotiate with the water departments in CDA; and see if they can get the water supply from the lakes in the area; and have a pipeline built to supply the Treasure Valley area.
