 Compare Idaho, especially Northern Idaho, but don't let the secret out. Oops, sorry. To any blue state in the Union. My kids go to safe schools that don't push the gender issues or anything similar. Our living costs are reasonable. We're freed-owned guns and ammo. The government is not spending money on ludicrous green deals, solar, wind, banning gasoline cars, etc. Our police enforce the law. We have no homeless junkies on the streets. Downtown Coeur d'Alene is an amazing family-friendly place to visit. I would agree completely.
