GOOD THINGS ABOUT IDAHO:
* Speed Limit for many of the major highways there is 75 MPH. You can set your cruise control to 80 MPH, and not be worried about being pulled over. I know, as I did that twice across the state last summer.
* Great hunting and shooting opportunities. Lots of places to go hunting all sorts of game. Gun laws are very friendly to gun owners.
* The State is very financially sound. Both houses of the state legislature are controlled by Republicans, as is the Governorship.
* Housing is very affordable. You can buy a big gorgeous home for under $200,000. I am talking a really nice home too, over 2,000 sq ft in size.
Here is a one year old 2,200 sq ft custom home that I looked at last summer there, that was just under $200,000:
The fully fenced and landscaped backyard was huge:
It had great RV parking:
Kitchen was absolutely gorgeous:
As was the Master Bedroom's Bathroom:
BAD THINGS ABOUT IDAHO:
* Snow and pretty doggone cold weather in winter
* High Taxes -- State has both income and sales taxes. The sales tax is even applied to the purchase of all food and groceries, which even the People's Republic of California does not tax. There are also no laws limiting increases on your property taxes either, like there are in some other states.
* There are virtually no minorities living there, especially in the more rural areas. The only city where I saw a few black people was Boise. I went to a Triathlon Competition in Idaho Falls, and every single contestant and person in the crowd watching were all white!!! Yikes, I thought that I had been time transported back to the '50's!!
