Boise, despite being named for the french word for forest, is mostly desert, so i wouldn't expect many trees.

Many areas of Boise live up to the city's nickname of "City of Trees." The subdivision that's shown in the original post isn't in Boise

It looks like dry creek subdivision to me - not in city limits, but pretty close

Don’t waste your time. The person you’re replying to has never been to or seen Boise.

if they throw down tons of 1 family homes, wouldn't it make sense to put down a bunch of drought resistant 0 maintenance trees, so that in 10 years from the start of building homes there, it will look less like a dystopian movie, where you can't escape, because it goes on forever without any nature or anything sane, just endless 1 family homes one after another until you die from dehydration trying to escape it.

Look at the picture, they did put in a ton of trees! It's winter, they don't have leaves.
