• Idaho leads the nation in housing growth. The data shows it's still not enough (idahostatejournal.com) — Idaho’s housing stock is growing fast, but not fast enough for places like Caldwell, which gained nearly 10,000 new residents along with Meridian and Nampa in a single year. The article explains how rapid in‑migration, zoning limits, and rising construction costs are squeezing affordability and what new state laws may mean for future housing options.

- Good morning all.
This sweet handsome boy has been hanging around for a few days. I live on Stockbridge Way and the cross street is Cabot. Please if he is yours come… (Nextdoor Colonies) - Today is the anniversary of the rescue of these two girls by my grand girls… they were so afraid, they’d holed up in a car’s wheel well, they never could catch the 3rd kitten.
They’re pretty spoiled these days, safe and content, and still a bonded pair of sweetness. (Nextdoor Heritage Meadows)
