[Vision2020] Boise's Growing Pains

[Ron Force]

 Boise, Idaho, was America’s 79th most unequal city in 2011. By 2016, it
had jumped to seventh place.

“Have you considered the racket and the lights and the crowds and the
traffic, and everything that’s going to happen to those of us who live
here?”

It is a familiar sight in America: the public meeting, the angry residents,
the housing developer trying to explain himself over the boos.

“Take the money you’ve got and get out of here,” one person shouts. A chant
begins <https://www.facebook.com/vanishingboise/videos/308035949727488/>:
“Oppose! Oppose! Oppose!”

Except this is not San Francisco or L.A. or Boston. It is Boise, Idaho...
