Here's a useless but fun exercise to set some benchmarks for when we close this thread, based on the last one (assuming it lasts another 9.5 years).
In the span of the last Boise Development Thread:
-The Boise MSA grew from 512,500 to 650,288. A ~27% growth rate.
-40 major projects that were built, under construction, or in planning stages in the general downtown area.
-1 building was a new tallest
-5 buildings were 10+ stories
-18 buildings were 6-9 stories
The younger generation is trending away from cars and into more urban environments. This trend may not hold up, but I think it will. If I assume a similar 27% growth rate, with a 5% bonus given to the general downtown area, by the time we open Part III (or 9.5 years, whichever's further) we might be looking back and saying:
-The Boise MSA will have grown from 650,288 to 825,865
-51 major projects that will be built, under construction, or in planning stages in the general downtown area.
-1 new tallest
-7 buildings that are 10+ stories
-24 buildings that are 6-9 stories
These are gross assumptions, but it's Thursday morning, the hot water isn't working, and I'm lazy.
