My wife grew up in NM, and I lived there for a few years. The only thing I miss is the food, but this year we were able to find real green chile roasted at albertsons (from Young Guns in Hatch). So at least I no longer blow a fortune on shipping green chile to get a freezer full. If you are into outdoors its pretty nice up here.
ETA I read your post again, just thought to add my wife is hispanic, and she likes it here. Everyone so far is quite nice and polite. She did have one coworker initially that seemed to have an attitude, then her work from home gigs took off. Our dealings with St Luke hospital have been good, but no serious issues. |

Wife is a native Idahoan so I was in and out of here a bunch when we lived in (cough / spit) in the SF bay area. What helped both of us get familiarized more in depth was a subscription to the Idaho Statesman for a month or 2 prior to moving from DFW to the Boise area. OP, you can PM me if you need more info, but this part of arf and a bit of homework should get you started. hth |

67 years living here. Best State in the Union. Some residents up north trash the south, some in the south trash the north. We have pockets of libs north south and east. I hope this crap stops and we unite to keep the state red. We have four even seasons for the most part. We have a great diversity of 13,000' peaks, dense forest, desert canyons. Hold on, I'm steelhead fishing and need a drink.

I have a small cabin on the Main Salmon 60 miles upstream from Riggins where the southfork dumps in. It’s getting cold and our cabin gets water from the creek. It’ll freeze up soon so time to winterize the place.

I lived in Deming NM for awhile in High school, I moved back to Oregon then I settled in Idaho with my wife and kids. I miss New Mexico terribly but I dont have anything there for me now. I dont have any family in Idaho either but it is a great state. I grew up Western Washington in the 80s and 90s but that place is ruined now.
I think you will like Idaho and wont have any problems living here. |

Lets give OP a chance, They need to fill out an Idaho Permit,,,,, I can't seem to find it on the Internets, but it's out there somewhere. It has questions like:
1. Zero points for Liberal, 10 points Conservative. 2. Zero points if you hate guns, 10 points if you have a gun collection and over 10,000 rounds of ammo in your fort. 3. Zero points if you drive a Prius, 10 Points if you Roll Coal. 4. Zero points if you think burning the US Flag is your Right. 10 Points if you thing Flag Burners should be Shot on Spot. 5. Zero points if your are vegetarians, 50 Points if you Hunt and Eat Your Kills. You Must have 100 points in order to get your Idaho Permit to Live her Reviewed by one of our Agents. Then you have to wait 25 years to get your permit processed, if Approved. |

The city of Star ID is broken, Their city counsel elected to allow 3000 more new homes to be built there for California Refugees that will mostly vote Democrat. From what i hear from a friend of the developer of this new track between star road and the 16 is that they paid off the Mayor a good chunk of money and some of the City counsel members as well in order to allow this expansion without any regards to all the local citizens who did not want this shit. There are no plans on expanding the roads, schools, fire department, police department, or other local services. Mind you, they want all these new tracks to have Municipal Water and sewer that they can charge them fees. The Star City counsel has been annexing other local communities (even areas that should in the future belong and fall well within the city of Middleton), and calling them part of the City of Star now for the past few years just to have those home owners incur up to a Doubling of their property taxes to cover any "Future City Expansion Costs" which they have no for-site or budget or real numbers in mind.
TL:DR= Fuck the City of Star and their corrupt city counsel and nobody gives a shit of those rat bastards over there. |

My wife and I live a mile southeast of Star on the south side of the river. About ten years ago Star tried to allow a developer to build 300 houses next to the river. The land wasn’t even in their city!
We spent a shitload of money, fought them and won. Now there’s a bunch of new council members, all on the take. Bastards! |

IIRC one or a couple of the Star city council folks own a sprinkler business. No doubt that is what is driving some of this.

How is the Internet situation out there? I keep seeing references to poor Internet in Idaho. Also: How's the cost of utilities? My wife came across someone who complained about the high cost of water. And how about gas and electric costs? |

I am out a bit, but get a pretty solid 50mb connection from CableOne.
Electricity seems to be able the same as I paid in TX, but use a lot less of it. Water is off a well for us, so its cheap. Groceries are a good bit more expensive than other places I have lived. |

I'd have to agree groceries are more expensive here - and there's not a lot of choices. Plenty of Albertsons to shop at. I have 1gb fiber for Internet, other utilities are cheaper than else where I've lived. ADA county property taxes wouldn't be that bad if it wasn't for the school bonds.

My wife came across someone who complained about the high cost of water. And how about gas and electric costs? Water is expensive in my area and we're double charged for it. For every gallon you use you pay for the water but then you also pay a sewer fee for the same gallon. BUT if you live in an area with irrigation then it's not so bad because for a flat amount you get unlimited irrigation water for watering your lawn just remember to never use your house water to water the lawn. Irrigation water is only available during the summer months and as an unfortunate side affect, because of all of the irrigation canals Idaho has the highest drowning rate for kids in the US. Keep the kids away from them. Idaho power is cheap and we don't use enough gas for me to comment on the gas cost. Groceries are a mixed bag, all food is taxed here at 6% so you have to factor that into the cost. I get my groceries at Walmart and milk and eggs are inexpensive here but beef seems overpriced. Albertsons are everywhere but seem more expensive and Fred Mayer is even more expensive. Beer and especially hard alcohol are much more expensive here because we're a controlled state so all hard alcohol is only sold by the government.. When I visit friends in California we make sure to hit Costco because a 1.75 Makers Mark is $33.00. Here that same 1.75 is around $60.00. |
