I want more advanced small/tiny homes and more compatible zoning to allow them if you own a parcel of land outright.
Seconded!
We really need to expand our horizons and allow for more freedoms in architecture. We're more hung up on resale than LIVING in our homes we're basically stuck building the same thing as your 200 other neighbors. I'd like to see a whole community of quonset style homes! Sturdy, energy efficient and cheap to build. Or concrete dome design. Those should be all over in tornado country!
So with Micron investing heavily (to the tune of $3 billion at one Virginia plant alone) in other markets together with the downsizing in Boise over the years does that indicate doubts in how large companies perceive the talent pool now and into the near future? Of course, the manufacturing jobs are less important to this topic since that probably has more to do with labor costs and logistics.
The premise was silly.
Boise has led Idaho's economy all my life, and there's nothing there that has changed so much as to change its leading position in the state.
Declaring is one thing, doin' is another. Don't hold your breath waiting for the first several billion spend as we're heading into a Great Recession/Depression.
We're likely heading for a recession of sorts, doubtful it will be like the Great Recession. But whatever happens, there's no reason to believe Boise will be more impacted than other areas of the country. The pandemic decimated places like San Francisco and it still hasn't fully recovered, whereas Boise's economy recovered much more quickly and is already stronger than it was pre-pandemic.
It could get to the point where we'll all live in mobile homes
So true because all real estate is EXPENSIVE everywhere now. Those days of yesterday are long gone. We are in another era now-homelessness. Plus Taxes of all kinds.

No. We are not in a homeless era. The prices are a natural reaction to the housing shortage. They'll soon level out, but like everything else, the prices won't go down to what they were 20 years ago.
Housing has never been cheap. Some folks have always complained about the high price of housing. We buy what we can afford, and most folks have never been homeless. Those who have ended up buying a home eventually.
