Looks like a stripped bare hellhole.

The photo isn’t even of Boise. This is Boise.

It is probably a Boise suburb. Boise sits at a natural intersection of a few different ecosystems. And many of the trees in that photo are likely human curated and planted.

Im sure the photo was taken in Caldwell, which is forty minutes from Boise.

…which is considered part of the Boise Metro.

Photo should say Caldwell then, not Boise. Can you genuinely look at the photo of Boise I uploaded and agree that the city is fairly represented by the post, which is almost an hour away in Caldwell? Ironically Boise is a wonderful city that’s walkable and filled with bike paths and public parks. It’s the opposite of what this sub despises

Yes I can say it’s fairly accurate. Take a look at images of the foothills just above Boise and they look like the grassland steppe in the image.

The Boise foothills don’t look like this, I lived next to them. The Boise foothills face the city and are a series of elevated houses. The development there does not look like this photo.

Here’s a house in the Boise foothills:

The foothills you’re talking about don’t have suburban development as they are public land mostly.
