I've lived here for my entire life of 74 years and it sure is super crazy how many hamster cage apartments are being cheaply built in Idaho Falls. Not to mention the super crazy traffic congestion in recent years.
It's because normal people can't afford a normal house in the new America. It's sad and unfortunate. No one wants to see apartments going up in their area.
I have lived (40 minutes) outside of Idaho Falls for many years. Your review is right on the money. You wrapped up the pro's and cons perfectly. I am sure that your honest review will help many people.
IF (flat wide land) must be different then Poky (tucked in a valley with Mountains that redirect storms) for winter since we have the valley. We have a mild winter for Dec-April with Feb being the coldest, most snow fall, with steady mild wind.
Nah some of us are fleeing from the people’s republic of Washington State. I can tolerate a little cold and wind in exchange for a bit more liberty. Really curious how you feel about the rumors medical staff are fleeing re the abortion laws.
Yes people are definitely moving here more than people are leaving. I haven’t helped any doctors personally or know of any that have left because of that. I would have to look into it
@@LifeinIdahoFallsID it’s mostly the liberal media here in Washington seemingly trying to scare up some controversy but it seemed reasonably possibly after all I’m sorting out leaving do to political policies here. I’m aiming for Boise (rather reasonably far enough out of the city proper to have a couple acres) but your video popped up in my feed so to the algorithm.
One common regret: the state betrayed their citizenship during COVID, enforcing lockdowns. I had to have a letter telling police if they stopped me that my job at the Lab was necessary. Then that same Lab you mentioned fired 10% of their workforce for refusing an experimental drug which killed about six employees in one year according to their own leaked records. This same Lab dominates local politics, pushing DEI hiring, and intimidates lawyers who would otherwise represent their employees. The Lab workers themselves do great, necessary work, but the contractor, who holds a near monopoly on US labs nationwide, needs to go. Also, police in the state consider Idaho Falls the worst place to work, as it is also the most dangerous in the state for police officers.
@@goolash1000 not sure where you are getting that report about Idaho falls being the most dangerous. Definitely the safest city I have ever lived in and Boise is much bigger with much more crime. That is a shame about 2020, it was a weird time and a lot of states were doing crazy things. I don’t think any state got it 100% right. The whole thing was wacky
@@britenrhodehouse8692 definitely feels like that for some! Others are able to still make it by and then some. Just depends on how you look at it and what your situation is
@LifeinIdahoFallsID there are always some who do well... but the vast majority is getting hit hard and many who were doing alright are now struggling. I sense the tables are about to turn for those who are crowing about how well they're doing also
Also sounds like Utah where wages are messed up so pretty sure Idaho would be the same. Are there bus systems or some sort of transit. I don’t drive currently but that is also another goal
What area is the video clip at 2:47 from? Hoping to move here next year but I haven't been able to visit yet, youtube is my only window into what the area looks like!
That area is south of town. I believe if you take Holmes south of sunnyside heading south for a few miles. It could also be 129th a few miles south of sunnyside. Can’t remember which road exactly I was on but somewhere around there. Even south of 65th
@@LifeinIdahoFallsIDactually all plastic can be recycled but it's not cost efficient. In some instances it's more expensive for a business to use recycled materials.
Make good town roading decisions while you’re small or the town will grow locking the roads in and it’s the roads that make the towns, oh and the criminal landscape.
How and whether the government supports and nurtures a criminal landscape over the lives of its actual and law abiding citizen “dreamers” who never got to live and have been overlooked and neglected by this government presumably because they have “citizen” impeding government attention and rectification for the actual domestic injury and plight. It is a lot to unpack and to fathom, but that is what’s going on a national scale.
@@2mtal718 pretty good! Always improving and building more. I haven’t heard much negative but I am also in the home schooling space so I have a different lens in regards to public schooling. What are you looking for in a public school?
@@LifeinIdahoFallsID oh I'm not even sure my son is only five months old. I was just thinking for the future we are from Illinois. so didn’t want to think about making the move if the schools weren’t good.
@@2mtal718 totally get it! Guess you’ll have to ask yourself what “good” means to you. Most people really like the schools out here. We think public school no matter where you are doesn’t teach great critical thinking skills. It’s more like memorizing facts. That sounds harsh but for us we put our kids in a private school that is like a home school. They spend most of the day outside learning real skills like gardening, science experiments, over course reading and writing etc. but also art, theatre, then working as a team and problem solving. No grades. Just based off their individual skill level… this type of fun, free and student lead learning was more important than memorizing facts in a desk all day. Haha so I’m not the best person to ask! I do know that when schools are bad, you hear about it. I haven’t heard much bad , if any, in this area.
The city school district is overcrowded and they have tried to pass a bond numerous times to try to get more funding to cover the expenses to build more space, but they keep getting denied by the voters.
@@growingstronguniversity5295 yes this was a big debate. I think they were wanting to improve the space they already have. Voters definitely wanted something to change but didn’t like the terms of the bond
@@E2tge gem lake bike park is an easy place to go not very far away. Then the other places are a bit further in Pocatello or up north. There may be a trail or 2 in Kelly canyon but I am not sure
Thanks! I was able to ride in Pocatello, and it is very good. I would add that Idaho Falls is a very good gravel bike town. The bike shop in town has a bikepacking race I have done. The Fitzgerald 300 route is amazing.

Wow! #8 I had no idea was an option! That just bumped Idaho way up on my list!!! ❤
For recycling?

Yep! That’s why some locals are leaving! But it’s a hard decision for sure
The exact same thing is happening in Poky. I don't like it.

It's not rumors, it's fact. ID has lost 25% of it's small number of OB/GYNs since they passed the abortion ban law.
Sure they have

You are gas lighting the viewers. Idaho Falls is growing exponentially.
Yes it is! I talk about that in this video and many others!
How come everyone mentions Texas and Florida when talking about weather. Phoenix Arizona is the number one moved to city.....
As a transplant from PHX, I much rather have 2 months of hiding in the house in PHX than 8 to 9 months of hibernation in Idaho!
