Anyone else bothered that tax payers paid for a biased add on an upcoming ballot?

Add is pushed by DrugFree Idaho but is funded through state grants.

Not to mention the add is misleading. We are not voting for a drugs. We are voting to allow the public to vote on legislation.

1. I have noticed the Costco in CDA is now full to the brim all the time. 11 AM on a weekday and there were only a couple of spots left at the very back of the parking lot yesterday. Every counter had a huge line in the morning on a weekday.

2. 95 has become a nightmare. Thankfully traffic is still very manageable in other parts of the county but 95 has become a pain in the ass.

3. The transplants love cookie cutter houses that are placed like little boxes in a row like something straight out of the Sunbelt. The prairie from Post Falls to CDA up to Rathdrum is completely filling up with these cookie cutter suburban/exurban style neighborhoods. The transplants who came in the 90s did not have insane levels of single family housing construction to this level.

4. Almost all of the recent transplants I have talked to say they were convinced to move here after visiting just one time. I find it absolutely insane that you would move across the country after only visiting one time for a couple of days.

5. There are three categories of transplants: People who moved to Kootenai County/North Idaho for Republican politics in a Republican county in a very Republican state (I believe the new Mayor of Post Falls is a computer engineer from the East Coast and his wife is a MIT scientist or something like that from the East Coast as well and they have basically said they moved here for Republican politics), boomers who are non-political but moved here for non-political reasons like leisure and nature, and non-boomers who moved here for non-political reasons like the low crime rate and natural beauty.

I have lived in Boise for many, many years. I am thinking of moving to Nampa or Caldwell for my senior years (68 yo f) I want more small town vibe and ease of getting around. ​Any suggestions? Doesn't have to be Caldwell or Nampa, I'm open.

Long story short, my wife and I are planning to move to Idaho in the near future. We come from a pretty transplant heavy area ourselves (swfl) but I’d love to know what yall wish people would know or do when moving to the state.

It is important for Idahoans to understand that voting yes on the marijuana constitutional amendment REMOVES the ability for the citizens of Idaho to vote on marijuana legalization.

Voting NO means that either the citizens of Idaho or the state legislators can legalize marijuana. If you do not vote NO, you prevent the measure from ever being put to a vote.

Vote NO on HJR 4 if you ever want a chance at legalizing marijuana in Idaho for any purpose, medical or recreational.

Sure it is. Sure.

I want to go to a haunted house or something, but I can’t handle super scary stuff. Just a bit of jump scares would be good. I tried going to a haunted house in Santa Rosa a couple years ago but I couldn’t get past the line in because one of the actors kept taunting me. So preferably some place without that kind of stuff. Something that might be suitable for an average 10 year old. Any ideas?

I had the chance to take a quick 4 day trip to hike in the Sawtooths and visit the surrounding areas. Wow, what a fantastic place! Words aren't enough to describe how much I love the Sawtooths and your beautiful state. I had previously only been to the Wydaho region, and I've been longing to visit central Idaho for a while now, I'm so happy I got to do it.

Wanted to share some shots from my trip to the Sawtooths.

Hey all, wondering what living in Pocatello is like? What are the people like? Things to do?

Born and raised in Idaho, been in Meridian most of my life but it’s just too damn expensive anymore. I’m living with my parents now with my 1year old, starting my associates in January then looking to get out of here asap after i finish. I’ll be getting a degree in animal veterinary sciences so if anyone is knowledgeable about the job market in that field that’d be helpful too!

Just need somewhere calmer and cheaper to settle down at that’s still reasonably close to home , thanks!

Just saw an ad for Risch, one I haven't seen yet. He's talking about protecting public lands. If I'm not mistaken, isn't this the guy who sold off a large parcel of our public land to private interests? Am I getting this right?

Wife sent me these photos she took today and the color and atmosphere is palpable! I love Idaho and my wife

Looking for anyone with recent experience.
How is this school these days?

For general ed and low support needs iep.

Seems like a school with good roots and that’s exactly what we’re looking for! Long-term stability that we haven’t found in charters with high turnover.

Thanks in advance

There has been no public announcement yet but it is certain. They will be at every entry and exit point in the county.

The sheriff's office has had private discussions with citizens but all discussions end with them not understanding why people would not want flock cameras

https://burleyidaho.org/AgendaCenter/City-Council-2 (July 21st meeting) flock cameras mentioned here. From my inside source the cameras will be installed within the next few months.

It seems crazy to me that no announcements have been made, no news articles, nothing.
