@TheDogPa No such thing as Native Americans. Everyone, including the Indians, were invasive. The so-called Native Americans just represented the most recent groups to come out on top of previous groups, going back to whichever was the first group to make the hike to North America. If you don't want to be pushed out, push back.
Don't know that I've ever been to Sandpoint. I'm a lifelong Oregonian and we're considering moving to a more budget friendly, outdoorsy lifestyle for retirement. My sis and family lived in Couer d'Alene (sorry if misspelled) for a while and it was nice, but more snow than we were accustomed to. That lake!!! It looks enormous! I had no idea, but definitely a beautiful area. I'm going to look more into this area and learn more. Thanks for the video. Oh, and those 7 things are right in line with our traditional values.
We love visiting OR! Coeur d’Alene Lake is stunning but the lakes get better the more north you go. If there is anything I can do to help in your search, just let me know. Ben@yourelitepartners.com or 208-400-6162
I used to live in Sandpoint, Idaho. I went to 1st to 12 grade there, but when i got out of the Army and started to look for jobs in 1993. (before the internet days) and found nothing in Sandpoint. Then the only way you would find a job is family business, friends or you had a trade license or work at Mc Donalds for minimum wage or work in a sawmill which i did but left on the second day. That sawmill job was the hardest job physically i have ever had (green chain). I would turn down that job for 100$ an hour. just trash.
@@Ben_Genaetta I live in Coeur d alene, but i have a sister in Sandpoint who i visit. My mom and stepdad who lived in Sandpoint died of old age. When i retire i want to move a 1,000 miles south in the middle of nowhere because city lights is bad for astronomy.
Describing the politics of Northern Idaho as a bunch of good natured outdoors enthusiasts who occasionally like to speak their minds is highly misleading. Of course, not EVERYONE is like this, but Northern Idaho is a refuge for conspiracy theorists, survivalists, militias, tax deniers, and religious zealots.
“That’s quite a perspective. Northern Idaho definitely attracts a mix of folks with strong opinions and lifestyles. What do you think draws people with such diverse beliefs to this area?”
If youre referring to people moving here from blue states, I believe youre wrong. 70% are registered Republicans; CA, WA, and OR are actually very red once you leave the big cities and many are moving from smaller towns that are red
@@Ben_Genaetta You're right. I'm trying to escape CA and looking into Idaho. I'm a current Navy reservist, very conservative and right wing. Here in CA they call me a right wing extremist. I don't need everyone to agree with me, but would be nice to live somewhere with like-minded people who don't want to throw me in jail for my ideas or expressing my 1st and 2nd amendment rights!
This list is so untrue it's not worth watching--but then when you get a couple minutes in, we find out he is a Real Estate Agent--then it makes sense. And, he missed a couple big truths--racism and lack of infrastructure maintenance. Both the City and County wait for a system to brake beyond maintenance then it becomes an "emergency". I wouldn't by from this guy--all sizzle, no steak.
Thanks for watching the video. I haven’t been here long as others but what racism are you seeing that I’m missing? I’m not saying the infrastructure is amazing but what emergency are you referring to?
I suppose. But it’s also true. There are/were traditional values for this country and people in north Idaho tend to value them more than other areas in the country. Whether that’s right or not, good or bad….. is not for me to judge.
Love the videos!!
I appreciate the support
Invasive species should not be tolerated.
So said native Americans...

@@GeoFry3 My point, just maybe needed a sarcasm tag? Sorry :O)

What's the cannabis culture their?
Add in Idaho’s 5.8% state income tax for us poor folk, not bringing in gobs of our out of state money…
That’s a fair point-taxes hit differently depending on your situation. What do you think could make the tax structure feel more balanced for locals?

I appreciate you watching and thank you for your service. Did you ever make it back to Sandpoint?

@@briansimmons6760 1,000 miles directly south would put you at the Salton Sea in California, not far from San Diego and nearly in Mexico lol.
@@DrDingus i am thinking about moving to the southern Rockies.
The weather sounds like Chicago except that summer is hotter in Chicago
Never been to the Windy City, did you grow up there?
Only 2 things that keep me from moving to N. Idaho are home prices and snow.
What alternatives have you considered for a new location that might offer a balance between affordability and milder winters?

~racism~ . If you don't support BLM and mass immigration you're a racist now. The term means nothing.
The content of this video is laughable 😂
Laughing is healthy for the body and soul so I’m glad I could contribute
@Fabdanc You're laughable. Do you have any *constructive* criticism to add?
If you despise traditional values. How edgy...
