That is a very interesting article. If I ever needed to move, (I won't) it would be to Wyoming. There are great people, Land and many unspoiled freedoms there. To me, the most interesting take away is the high cost of living. It must be from the past union influence. Large mining operations pay very well and effect the economic enviorment raising cost of living. If the mine jobs go away (like the article speculates) people are resistant to selling there once 150,000 house for 75,000. It takes time for the inflated values to normalize. Northern Nevada is a good example of that right now. Places like Winnemucca and Elko are very expensive to live in just because of the gold rush going on and union paychecks. Another example are the newly developed Dakota oil fields. I know young men that were working there making huge money and having to pay 3500.00 a month it live in a small motel room. Eventually, everything finds its natural leval (cost) when large outside forces subside.Here's another view of 'Idaho' the Awesome: Why people really want to move to Idaho but are fleeing its neighbor, Wyoming
