Along with the sibling replies, maybe this is just part of the natural cycle of things. People will make Boise the new Austin. Prices will rise, demand for better infrastructure increases, things improve. A generation is raised. Their children move on to the next few smallish cities and bring them up to spec. As a lifelong resident of a city in seemingly permanent decline (St. Louis), it sounds good to me.

Admittedly there were some planning constraints but even as those have been lifted the developers continue to make large expensive homes rather than the dense housing we desperately need.

I'm about to move in to a studio in east London for £1400 per month plus utilities, estimated total of £1650 per month. It's a ~40 story residential tower, so from the point of land footprint it's as densely populated as it gets.
