About

Boise, ID. It’s not the city. It’s not the country. It’s the megafrontier - an urban oasis surrounded by frontier wilderness. And there’s more like us out there! Not all of America’s largest cities fall within megaregions. Some of us are outliers. So this blog is about the megafrontier, and other urban areas in the west. It’s about policy, urban life, demographics, economics, culture, entertainment, and people in the west. If you are looking for a refuge from the east coast’s public intellectuals who just don’t get us folks out west, you’ve come to the right place. It’s leading edge thought right here in the megafrontier.
