Is Boise a Good City for Young People?
About a decade ago, Boise was the place for young people, especially artists. But rising housing costs and low wages have us wondering: Is that still true? Ryan Marsh from the Backyardists is here to help us dig into the challenges facing young people, and whether or not Boise can still call itself “cool.”
Do you think Boise is a city for young people, or not? Let us know by sending us a voicemail or text: 208-546-9485.
