It gets much colder in Boise than Portland. It's literally 10° colder in Boise in January than it is in Portland or Seattle.

And Boise has it's homeless problems as well. In fact, there was a huge court case originating in Boise about it that was/is restricting how the 9th circuit district can deal with homelessness.

I have a friend who moved there with his wife in June and he says you don’t see any homeless in downtown Boise. I have another friend who is one of the head guys at Hoffman building a fab for Micron over there and he has an apt downtown and he says the same thing.

Yeah, it's definitely not as liveable as Portland (from a weather perspective). No way would I choose to stay in Boise and sleep outside over the winter when I could easily hop a train to Portland.
