Should you move to Idaho?
Idaho, known as the Gem State, is a hidden gem indeed. With its stunning mountain ranges, vast lakes, deep canyons, and sprawling plains, the state’s beauty is as unspoiled as it is breathtaking.
Idaho’s economy is as diverse as its landscape. The state is a major producer of potatoes, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Idaho also has strong manufacturing, healthcare, and technology sectors. Boise, the state’s capital and largest city, is a significant tech hub, housing the headquarters of Micron Technology and a major Hewlett-Packard research and development facility.
What’s more, Idaho’s agricultural roots run deep. The state leads in the production of trout, lentils, and, of course, potatoes. It’s also emerging as a new hotspot for vineyards and wineries, boasting an increasing number of award-winning wines.
Living in Idaho offers a perfect blend of city life and outdoor adventure. Boise is known for its vibrant arts scene, historic architecture, and an array of restaurants offering farm-to-table cuisine. The city also has a network of biking and hiking trails, and the Boise River Greenbelt is a favorite among locals.
For nature lovers, Idaho is a paradise. It offers world-class fishing, hunting, hiking, and camping. And let’s not forget the state’s top-tier ski resorts. Plus, with more natural hot springs than any other state, you’ll have plenty of opportunities for a warm soak amid the snowy landscape.
Idaho also takes pride in its strong educational system, including Boise State University and the University of Idaho.
So, if you’re seeking a state that offers a balance of economic opportunity, a low cost of living, outdoor adventure, and a welcoming community, then Idaho could be your next home. Just be prepared for the snowy winters and an abundance of outdoor fun!

Incredibly noisey for such a small town
Glenns Ferry is a dying town and for good reasons.
1) The water is nasty. It smells like chlorine and is filled with little white floaties. The only clean water available is sold in plastic bottles from the grocery store.
2) The grocery store supplies the only clean water but they store it in the back. The store has 6 or 7 isles. Soda pop, candy and junk food take up roughly 50% of the store. 50%! “Fresh” produce gets about 10%, about as much as the condiments get. What little we do get is usually in the first stages of rotting. 95% of the time i look for green salad but find its all a day or two from being brown slime.In a town surrounded by farms. Its a travesty.
3)It smells bad. If you go to the city park or the golf course you’ll be greeted with foul stench of raw sewage. In the dead of winter it stinks. In the summer time it seeps out into the streets. The smell is equivalent to someone ripping a point-blank, bare-assed fart right in your face, close enough to feel it.
4)Glenns Ferry is unbelievably noisey, especially for its size. Everybody has dogs that they dont do anything with. The result is a town filled with bored dogs whose only source of entertainment is to bark at the neighbors. Add to that the trains, freeway, farm equipment, crop dusters, etc. Its as noisy as any big city, moreso even.
5)the schools are terrible. Our claim to fame used to be our football program. Thats education here. But now theres not even that. [SENTENCE REDACTED BY MODERATORS]
Glenns Ferry is a shithole. A place of dying. Hopes, dreams, soul, then body. -A
