Must not be the good stuff.

Poor planning and letting every developer do anything they want wherever they want is not “PLANNING”. It is creating sprawl and infrastructure nighmares for those of us who live here.

There is no amount of perfume or lipstick elected and appointed officials can put on the development PIG in this valley. We can all live in hope they take a good hard look with 20/20 hindsight at their collective handiwork and never let this happen again.

Now all we have to do is figure out how to clean this mess up.

That happened to me in the recession of 1980.

-Atlas’s report is not scientific,just observations.
-Check out the forum over at City-data.com, people are still interested – http://www.city-data.com/forum/boise-area/
-Uhaul’s migration report comes out in April, so we can then observe if the numbers match.

Makes me think that those people are getting ready to walk away from their property.

(According to ericn1300, Atlas’s move is largely based on company paid moves, and not on other factors.)

It would be interesting to get “the whole picture”, although hardly anything critical at this juncture

She is out every weekend looking for deals she can sell on e-bay. She tells me that around 50% of the sales she attends are in upper middle class neighborhoods and she reports that about 50% of those are either “moving back to…” or ” we don’t know where we are moving.”
Not very encouraging in either case.
This certainly isn’t scientific, but significant in my opinion.
