Review of Boise City, Idaho


Boise is not like the rest of Idaho
Star Rating - 3/19/2009
To judge the rest of the state of Idaho to Boise is not a fair comparison. I have lived in different parts of the state through out my life (born here in Idaho) and I can tell you the rest of the state is nothing like Boise but after being in places like Sacramento, salt lake and Seattle Boise is nothing like them. Still Boise is not like it used to be, traffic has become a big issue, people tailgate, cut you off, and will run into you before they give you the right away. People are not as friendly as they are in the rest of the state; crime rates are much higher in the valley then the rest of the state. Housing prices are high and wages are low. But if you are looking for that big city life with low crime rate, friendlier people and good schools compared to the rest of the nation Boise is for you. If you are looking for that slow pace of live with an Idaho spirit, stay the hell away from Boise
