This was a great summary of a jewel of the west. Boise is a fantastic city, with access to some of the greatest whitewater, camping, hiking, one related outdoor adventure. The city is large enough to offer the best of life, yet small enough to avoid the complications of big cities. Sadly, Boise and the surrounding area are one of the fasted growing metro areas in the country. Love City Geek… keep the spotlights coming.
I grew up in Idaho but found this interesting. Growing up in Idaho Falls and Mormon, we almost always went to Salt Lake for anything urban instead of Boise. Because of that most of this was new info.
My first visit to Boise was a couple of years ago for a friend's wedding in the mountains of McCall. It's a fantastic little city with good food, good drinks, and friendly people at the time. The temperature was beautiful, and the cost of the food Room board was way cheaper than in many other cities I just visited. It shocked me because it was so affordable compared to where I live in Florida. Consider visiting more in the future. I want to check out wintertime and drive back up to the mountains and ski area to check it out!
I'm about to move to Boise to live with my boyfriend! I'm a Miami native but have never really fit in with this crazy city. Boise looks like a pleasant change of pace.
Great edition to your growing collection! So many nice places to find in Boise! I liked the geothermal info on that nice sandstone Capital building, the Pedestrian segment, the ribbon of parks, and the Anne Frank memorial. I can see why Boise is growing. This was a nice second rendition of Boise for your channel. I wonder how Spokane fairs in comparison. Both are nice cities. BTW, when you are ready to make the Houston video, you will have to come visit first. My wife & I can give you a grand architectural tour. Or if that’s not possible I can give you some great facts and a nice map to see the best landmarks & skyscrapers. from David P. in Houston. 🎉 😊 👍
Thanks for reviewing my home town! I’m a native here and the skyline is finally getting some height! Rumors are surfacing about a 40 story apartment building downtown, but probably won’t leave the ground, but we also have confirmed sky scrapers, and a few under construction, 15 story Element AC Hotel, which has two hotels in one, an ICCU tower, 13 stories and rises up to ~206 ft. And The Arthur, the tallest building in roof height for the valley, at 290 ft, its roof carved to imitate the peaks of the sawtooth mountains, it’s an ultra modern apartment building, and a 15 story apartment tower for the YMCA redevelopment, Ovation Tower, a 23 story apartment building rising up to ~260 feet and The London, another apartment building with 19 floors rising up to 235 ft, and finally the 18 story ~220 ft. condo tower in garden city, which is a few miles northeast of downtown Boise, which is a weird place for a high rise. Thanks for putting care into this video about this beautiful city, it’s growing fast for sure!
My husband works big construction projects here and they just finished the Renegade Hotel downtown a few months back and there are multiple big projects already breaking ground.
Colorado springs Colorado would be good to do an overview of there is a county or city ordinance i don't remember which but buildings can't be built very high because the city doesn't want the view of pikes peak to be blocked. Another city or town to review would be Denver and also coeurd'alene.
Great information, but you did not mention anything about the Vasque that live there. When we visited Boise this was an good place to eat Spanish food. Rare find!
@@help8help just the humanity, long waits at lights ,narrow backroads ,bumper to bumper traffic,it’s like the Bay Area of Ca ,with nice people ,I will say the people are friendly,gas station ,fast food ,Hotel employees seem upbeat and happy 😊👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@markive9907 Boise is a relatively small city that isn’t packed in like the Bay Area. The state of Idaho, unlike California takes even petty crime like shoplifting very seriously. So our crime rate is pretty low. I think most of the growth came from Californians who got tired of the Bull they had to deal with in California. As for the narrow back streets there’s not much any city can do about that. But actual infrastructure like roads, sewage, water supply, electric power, is constantly being maintained and improved across the state. Maybe you mean the crappy public transportation system is still crappy.
I'm skeptical, but I want to to checkout, I want to get out of Los Angeles. I want to move to a small town, but not a major metropolitan like Las Vegas, Denver, Chicago, Dallas, New York, Cincinnati or Miami.
I was born in Boise and still live here. Thanks for doing this video highlighting the City of Trees. I didn’t know there was an adjustable river way here. Also, I can tell you’re from Idaho because you pronounce is “Boise” and not “Boizee”
Boozy has the highest concentration of arsenic and lead in the water supply. Also, a disgusting skin rash happens from the type of sage brush to most people.
@@peligrosoyaventado2654 Definitely not rural. I live in the 18th largest county in the U.S. by area and the largest Idaho county. Our biggest city is 30 miles from me and is the county seat at 3200 population, and you talk about rural? There is a big city in our region with a metro population of 46,000, (that's taking in another nearby state). We have the two largest tributaries to the Snake River plus that river, that, that runs through the deepest canyon in North America. We have 9000+ foot mountains and more wilderness than any county in the state. I currently live 30 air miles from part of the largest wilderness areasin the lower 48, and today, it is wet and will continuing being so for the next week. We have two 4-year college, one being the University of Idaho with WSU 10 miles west. And our region has Idaho's only seaport, the Port of Wilma on the Clearwater/Snake confluence. I used to go to Boise but too many people. Spokane is a little closer but with the same people problem. I can buy anything I need in a metro area of 46,000----Costco, Winco, Walmart, plus, I can buy cannabis cream for my arthritis, in a store a half mile from my region. This is rural. And we have no interstate.
@@joshuafusselman3323 I live 8 miles from the third largest town in our county, population 600. And I live in Idaho. Idaho is an urban state because most of the population live in urban areas, mainly CDA, Boise and the Treasure Valley, Pocatello, Rexburg, Idaho Falls, Twin Falls, Lewiston, Moscow, and Post Falls.
Looks and feels very much like Salt Lake City, Utah. Clean and peaceful asf. What the rest of America used to be and should be. The mountains, oceans, canyons, forests, and deserts - all within a 4-8 hour drive or a 2 hour flight at most. Just hope the woke crowd and homeless, addicts from the usual suspect states don't show up here. And of course, the shoplifters, people who run illegal food trucks, street food stands... Idaho seems like a place where all this would be dealt with an iron fist in a hot minute. Namaste.
White state is always better to raise a family, I am black from African,and I have lived in the boise area since 2010. Trump 2024!!! My President is coming back
I have to laugh- the Idaho residents sound like us Floridian residents…don’t move here etc. Well, we have a choice to remain in Florida or take an engineering job site in Boise. We are traditional Catholic, homeschooling, voted for Trump, own a couple shotguns and bows. But I don’t want to move somewhere that has progressives migrating to. How are the abortion laws here? Any planned parenthood? I saw a county called Blaine voted blue, why is that? How bad is it getting? Is there a good area to live between Boise and New Plymouth (that’s where we would go to church at). Thank you for any insight!
Lol you mean look at buffalo and Yellowstone yeah so much more to do in Wyoming >.> other than that Idaho has more outdoor experiences he just couldn't make a video on it because it would be 2 hours long. Not trying to be mean but I don't think you know how boring the state is without Yellowstone.
I've lived the majority of my life in Spokane, but in recent years, I've given long thoughts on moving to Boise. Hope its not becoming too much like California.

Boise is like a cross between Salt Lake City and Colorado Springs in my humble opinion.
Of course he's pronouncing the name of the city correctly. He's from Idaho! Good job.
Lol thanks!
Great video!
Thanks!

What about the Basque heritage? I was expecting something about it in the clip 😮
Yeah I agree that I should have included something about that. If I make another video about Boise in the future will have to do that!
Also the Boise metropolitan area makes up a decent portion of Idaho states population

Even if Boise Idaho grew more than one million by the city itself, it becomes the second largest state capital surpassing Indianapolis Indiana.

Is Boise the only town in Idaho. Online it seems like it.

There are hundreds of towns in Idaho, but most are very small. If you're a big city person, Idaho is not going to satisfy you.

No, Most of the City and Idaho are powered with hydroelectric dams.
