I don't have much experience with crime in the area but I know it exists. Drug usage is a common offence. Gun violence might also be a problem in some areas.

With regards to local politics I have completely lost faith. The legislature is ineffective has their priorities in the incorrect places. They on several occasions has tried to restrict women's access to reproductive care and have declined to vote on adding protections for gender identity and sexual orientation to the anti-discrimination clause. Many are poorly informed and lack any credentials to be in government.

Boise is a wonderful place to raise a family. I grew up here, and could not imagine living anywhere else. The greenbelt and foothills are amazing for outdoor adventures, and the people here are some of the friendliest you'll ever meet. The food is pretty awesome, and prices are pretty low.
