Review of Boise, Idaho


F**k Idaho in general
Star Rating - 10/25/2019
Moved here 3 years ago. Biggest mistake I have EVER made. People in Idaho are some of the rudest, most stuck up, pieces of s**t I've ever encountered. When it's dark outside, everyone thinks they have to use their brights and could care less if they're behind you or coming your direction, as long as they can see they don't care. And on the topic of driving, people are maniacs here. Always riding your as$ even on the freeway when there's other lanes for them to go into, they choose to get very close to you and try and push you, so they can be in front of every car, everyone just seems to need to be the first car in front. People will literally try and race you. Even if you're going 10 over the speed limit its not good enough for anyone. Oh, and people LOVE cutting you off! If people find out you weren't born here, or didn't grow up here they freak out and automatically think you don't belong and damn near shun you. Like it's the damn united states, people can move wherever the hell they want, people that were born here act like they LITERALLY own the place. LOL well you idiots can HAVE it, it sucks anyways. Aside from the rude people, its hot, dry, polluted, and boring. Seriously nothing to do, barely any good concerts come, and if they do it's that one time. Absolutely NO CULTURE. Downtown Boise try's, but its still kind of dry. And don't even get me started on the job market. It sucks too. All you'll find are call centers, there's a million of them. And they're all depressing. Even being a licensed professional, the jobs are few and far between, you'll find yourself in a dirty, dusty, miserable call center wondering why you're wasting your life here in IDAHO. Then you wake up one day and finally take the "locals" advice and "go back where you came from!" Bye Idaho, you wont be missed.

As a Boise resident I kindly request that you share your Boise review with everyone in CA, WA and OR. This is exactly the marketing campaign message we need to curtail the liberal infection overwhelming our city. Much appreciated.

Glad you are gone. Probably one of the self righteous idiots going 10mph under in the fast lane crying about tailgating. On your phone at a green light angry if someone honks when you don't go. God forbid it rains or snows because you will grip your Prius steering wheel for dear life and ride them brakes. But everyone else is the problem. “They don’t like me because, i’m not from here” while you brag about where you came from and how u sold your crack shack in Cali and can buy a “huge house” in Boise. Then you do nothing but cry about how boring boise is and expect the locals to love you. Kick rocks.

Boise is clearly NOT a singles sanctuary...but like nearly every city in the country, changes are happening. Drivers in Seattle, Portland, and California to name a few, are far worse! Crime is low in comparison to many cities also. As for the rude people... I believe you might be running into all the other transplants because my experiences have been very positive and friendly with people. The influx of people in the past 10 years has been substantial and Boise is struggling to keep up with the demands and costs as a result. However, Boise is a GREAT place to live for hardworking, law-abiding, supporter of military defense, gun rights, low crime rates, conservative values, and outdoor enthusiast -- in fact, you'll appreciate and love Idaho!

Dude, you need to get an education. You won't be happy anywhere because you won't have enough cash to enjoy the city in which you live. You sound a lot like me 30 years ago. Trust me-no snark-you need better employment. Boise sucks in many ways, but not as bad as you sound, and any place way better (coast) is going to be expensive. Seriously, it's all about the money. Money won't buy you happiness, but the opportunities to seek it.
