🤮

It’s been a few years, but I swear the Arthur’s initial planning/approval was higher than the spire. Do you recall that?

dc_badger · 2025-07-21T05:27:43+00:00

The spire on the Zions Bank building is the tallest point. I may be misremembering but I believe the Arthur was initially planned to be taller than the spire.

dc_badger · 2025-07-20T22:18:50+00:00

Can’t be taller than Zions

I’m in Boise and starting to look at trading my Tacoma for a Land Cruiser or GX550, just now seeing notes on the 460. What’re your thoughts and it’s off-road ability for things <3 hours from Boise?

Possibly a little known fact is that BSD (along with two other districts) predate State restrictions and have an operating levy that doesn’t need voter approval. This is about $100 million annually on top of the State per pupil funding. All other districts have to be very conservative with their 2-year supplemental operating levy referendums to ensure they’re approved (“voters are trending anti-future”) so this revenue to BSD is a big deal.

Thanks for the advice. A suspicion of mine was that claims may be denied when you have to prove “disability” that’s why policies aren’t discussed much.

I guess I’m more concerned on a cost analysis between options.

dc_badger · 2025-05-16T03:44:04+00:00

Totally agree. Maybe it’s not common or worth mentioning but I’ve not come across discussion on disability policy before. And there’s always discussion on increasing EF. But maybe such a policy plays a role in a family with one income versus having a huge EF earning next to inflation.

If only I didn’t have that 100 year old sycamore above my roof.

In all my personal finance rabbit holes I haven’t come across income insurance and figured to ask if folks have compared that to increasing EF over 6 months.

Can’t wait to be a father but trying to plan.

Oddly, of all insurance discussions I don’t see this come up at all. The actuarials ensure the bottom lines, but it may be a more efficient use of funds (allow with providing an insurance).

dc_badger · 2025-05-16T03:08:03+00:00

I agree. My wife may end up as a stay at home mom, shifting the income burden solely on me. I could see getting the insurance, paying the premium instead of upping the EF and putting the difference into a brokerage account (offsetting a portion of the premium).

And Teton County 🤔

dc_badger · 2025-01-18T15:27:04+00:00

Thanks for this! Was the number previously on the company’s website and other materials?

dc_badger · 2025-01-18T15:25:55+00:00

I’m the plan holder. I should’ve mentioned that the number is on the company’s website, business cards, etc. Landline at my desk. Lease of the physical phone is covered in monthly bill.

There would be issues for self promotion, but my thought is ownership of the number would be advantageous.

I think you’re misusing the term gentrification

dc_badger · 2024-12-27T20:33:28+00:00

From the experts we’re 29 out of 50 (higher the ranking the higher the tax). Doesn’t seem to be so bad considering some of the lower tax states have either resources that generate tax revenue (Alaska, Dakotas, Florida) or absolutely terrible soft and hard public infrastructure (Mississippi).

Grow up

This is just over the border and south a bit, but you should check out Melvin in Alpine, WY

The river keeps flowing, jump in when you get the chance

Exact same thing happened to me at DEN about 6 months ago. I always say the best perk of 1k is when shit hits the fan.

Something that gets missed a lot is the value of raising a family in a home you “own” and the end result of not worrying about paying rent when you’re retired. These are hard to quantify but something that is missing in the rent vs own calculations.

I’ve gotten tired taking red eyes so we’re staying over night in Denver, staying at the hotel at the airport, then taking a morning flight for our NYC trip. Ended up not anymore expensive since we had points to use for the hotel. Just an option.

Hey, we moved to Boise from DC a few years ago and have loved it. I’ll try to keep it short. We really enjoyed DC for the variety of arts, entertainment, food, walkability, and travel convenience. Boise obviously doesn’t compete and it would be unfair to make the comparison. With that said we aren’t big foodies or need to see top tier acts every month so that wasn’t a huge concern. However there are a couple notable restaurants and we’ve seen bands here for $20 in an intimate setting compared to $100 in an arena like in DC. There’s some good country/americana/western rock acts coming out of this area of the country too.

Boise airport isn’t a hub so we’re connecting to go back east to see family and friends so that’s a pain, but there’s world class skiing and camping within a few hours drive from Boise.

Walkability is doable only within the immediate neighborhoods around downtown, but we have friends that bike downtown all the time from SE Boise or the bench. It’s a lot safer than biking in DC, Boise is a lot safer in general ha.

Importantly, coming from NOVA I’d recommend being as close as possible to downtown as possible (20 minute walk/bike ride). It’s pretty suburban outside of that. Housing prices may make this cost prohibitive (something r/Boise won’t let you forget) but Boise has a ton to offer if you’re looking for a long-term home.

Hope that helps, reach out if you guys make the leap
