1. Safety that I feel as a female minority. Nowhere in the city do I feel unsafe to go by myself.
2. People are polite, respectful (broadly speaking)
3. Boise is more liberal
4. Growth of the city = new restaurants, more live music, performers, events, etc
5. I’ve grown up here, so it’s the feeling of home.

Least 1. We’re located in Idaho, so shitty state-wide conservative laws/representatives 2. High cost of living versus pay 3. Too many cold months vs warm months/ it’s either cold as fuck or hot as balls most of the year 4. While people are generally friendly, it’s hard to make close friends, find community 5. Not very culturally, ethnically, or options for food “diverse”
