Growth isn't always the greatest.

We moved to Boise about 7 yrs. ago. We absolutely loved it and thought we had found the perfect place. It was perfect for awhile until the housing market started going up. It is now a sellers market, and even though it's still a beautiful place to live, it has gotten very expensive to buy a home. Home prices have doubled and we see no end in sight. Not only has the market increased, but so has property taxes. They've gone up above 10 % to say the least. Rent is also sky-rocketing and it's becoming unaffordable for anyone with a fixed income to retire in. What once was a sleepy town, has now become one of the fastest growing cities in the nation. Growth is okay, when managed properly, but when greed sets in, it loses its charm. We love it here, but I think Boise has outgrown us.
