Growing pains in Kuna, Idaho: Small-town, rural feel attracting more people

Jeff Miller remembers when farmers would pull their trucks up next to each other in the middle of the street in Kuna, shut off their engines and catch up on the news. If a car came up behind them, they’d just wave it past.

Such bits of rural living are giving way in Kuna as subdivisions peck away at the fertile, flat landscape that once provided land and livings for farmers. There are many more people and cars than farms these days.

"The town is exploding," said Miller, now owner of Stubbs Realty in Kuna, where he sells many of those houses. People come for the small-town atmosphere and low home prices, he said.
