Moving to Boise, perhaps due to being over 60, perhaps because we'd lived in the Denver area since 1981, proved more difficult than we'd anticpated. However, if we wanted a house in a Denver-like area in the west, it had to be done. It wasn't our fault! Colorado had betrayed us with not providing affordable housing.
When we arrived and started looking at houses, we became anxious. Should we stay here? The city of Boise has many main streets with a considerable amount of traffic. Yes, I-25 in Denver is much, much worse. However, it's other major streets seemed somehow less congested than Boise. These Boise streets feel more commercial, more cluttered. Although I don't think they really are more cluttered; maybe it's just less "attractive" clutter. Maybe we're not familiar enough with Boise clutter.
Searching for an affordable house away from these thoroughfares felt almost impossible. Then we found this.
Goodbye anxiety! We're staying.
