Colorado to Boise transplant
Star Rating - 6/5/2020
Colorado transplant. Boise in 2020 compares to Denver in 1994. Fantastic place to live, especially up in the mountains. Low cost of living. Plenty of things to do. Lots of outdoor activities. Great restaurants. Good qualify food and water. We saved over $5k just on insurance (car/home). I've heard the locals say how busy it has gotten, but if they ever lived in Los Angeles, or Denver, or Chicago, or Houston, or some other BIG city, they'd know that Boise is still a small comfortable and very friendly place. Even in 2020. LOVE IT!

We moved to Boise 2 years ago and I agree that it is a very special place. Unfortunately, it's becoming the next Denver, Seattle and Portland with the influx of the liberal craziness. We already voted in a far left Mayor and she just selected her chief of police from Portland, OR. So Boise has about 5 years left until it is destroyed like LA, SFO, Portland and Seattle.

So because you are from big cities and contributing to the destruction of our once affordable, once free-filled home, you think we should be grateful that it’s not yet as big as where you came from?! Thanks for pushing the natives out.
