The foothills have been developed to a point beyond their ability to sustain the demand of the human habitat substructure there. We should leave well enough alone now and develop other areas and concentrate on in-file, high-rise, the east and south, leaving the northern expanse to heal.

We have enough already. What is the endpoint? Pave the whole thing over? Balance is needed. The foothills remain as about the only thing that provides perspective on the way Boise used to be. Open space is critical – and the US hasn’t learned that lesson yet. More development is already under way on Bogus Basin Road. It’s time to say enough is enough.
