Comments on: Growthophobes Beware Of “Increased Density” https://boiseguardian.com/2015/02/15/growthophobes-beware-of-increased-density/ A different slant on the news.

Transit is not great in Boise, but it works.

Our taxes get to pay for their parking garage? It’s never about what is good for Boise. Isn’t it time that Boise took the reins in planning their / our future instead of being led around by the nose.

Fire safety, a separate issue, on multi story buildings is a given in most places in the country. Could it be that wood studs are still used here for a reason instead of metal.

The traffic plan was not mentioned here. I assume there is one. No I take it back I assume there is none.

Many BSU students might drive now because they have to; limited housing options close to campus.

But if you build high-density housing close to campus…viola! Students don’t have to drive to campus anymore!

Where’re all the cars that will come with this development supposed to go?

Rush Hour(s), Game Day(s), and Events at the Morrison Center and the Pavilion will create other special circles of hell!

Farewell Boise of Old… We hardly knew thee.

Parking is an issue because there few housing options to live near BSU campus and there is huge demand to attend BSU.

Does anyone think all those single family 1930s/1940s houses on 6000sf+ lots which are common off Broadway— does anyone think those properties can meet all the rental needs of the area?

Logic? How does it work?

Obviously not. Students don’t drive, you are kidding, right? I am not really sure why what happens in Wa or Or have to do with what is going on there. I really do not care what is going on at any other campus.

You are wrong. as a student at BSU, I assure you that parking is an issue. MOST students drive. Those that don’t are a small fraction of out of state traditional students. Especially when those with a general permit, (like most students) get displaced for events like football, concerts, Obama and the like. Then Parking really becomes an issue.
