Well it's a beautiful area I'll give you that yes it has allot of great features for a city and a small town!!! Thank you for sharing this video of good and bad of living there it's like anywhere else you live there and then you can grow with it like you did and change with your surroundings and always plan ahead for anything and everything!!!! Have a great day be safe happy healthy in all you do and want take care of yourself and your family enjoy your day
Thanks for watching and commenting @John Fullmer
Hopefully one day I can come visit you’re part of the state but I enjoy it here in IdahoFalls I’m close to the mountains and I’ve got pretty much everything that I enjoy here the only thing that is bugging me right is the amount of people that have moved into our area it’s getting hard too find a new place to live and shopping here is getting hard and I order stuff from Walmart and it’s coming from there suppliers and not from the local store like it was a few months ago maybe a year ago and then my kids are having a rough time finding jobs because of the new people moving in and I have seen people looking for housing but because of the California people who have sold their homes and moving here the cost of an apartment has gone up but you know that from what you’re saying in last few videos it’s making hard for people who already live here and then the crime around here has only gotten worse!! I keep an eye on the news!!! And I have fellow friends who are police officers city county and state!! I know it’s not always the California people but what I’ve seen and heard of the sell and move out mostly because of what there Goverment has done too that state!!! But anyway that’s that!! Have a wonderful weekend enjoy your day and you’re family!!!
Do they salute Hitler only on weekends or is there some kind of festival? Just curious.
@LivingLifeNorthIdaho I too was born and raised here! 12th and Wallace and there was VERY VERY little people who used to live here back in the day! NOW there are MULTIPLE street lights just to get anywhere so this town is growing unbelievably fast!!
@@henrylee8510 You salute Hitler anytime "you" want to, just don't do it in CDL b/c they don't do that sh!t.
Don't move here if you are afraid or offended by guns and seeing people openly carrying. Live and let live means don't shove your liberal views in our face or use them to change the environment here, go to Spokane for that. Also winter is basically late October to May. Don't be surprised to see snow in the Summer too. Summer is basically July to August. Fall is Sept to mid October. Love the sun then don't move here either, we have way more cloudy days through the year. Fire season in August is awesome as we get fire smoke from our area and the entire country. Locals have little use of town amenities due to tourists (Spokane) invading.
Lived here for 5 yrs and rarely see people open carrying. I don't care if you have a gun, but would prefer concealed carry.
Eastern WA are more conservative than they are democrats or the very least (for the rest) independent in politics. The woke land and crazy l*beral are at is in is the Seattle metro area. But, not even they aren't as woke as CA since WA has an open carry law (especially in Eastern WA where spokane is at).
I’m conservative, love Trump…am I welcome?
I remember the the CD'A BEFORE Haggedon got ahold of it. Even sadder I remember the prettier farther northern lake Priest Lake before the God awful people with more money than sense started building their lake mansions. I really wish Seattleites and Californians had never discovered the panhandle. Now we live in N.Central Idaho. Thank God we are so remote no one really wants to live here. Cda is not the same. Sandpoint and Priest lake have all been taken over by the rich. Sad.
I hear you... I grew up in Spokane as did my parents(in the 1940-90's). And I miss the more rural less tourist ridden aspects we used to have. Priest Lake has gotten too full of wealthy transplants, and this is happening to us too. I have to go out to lesser know little lakes to get some peace from the crazy wealthy people with their jet skies, noisy big boats. And as far as the crime there being low... Just wait that will change. Trust me. The problem is the wealthy just up and move if they don't like it anymore. Leaving high home prices, and bums, etc. In their wake... Spokane used to be more like Cour de'A lene is now... Quieter, little traffic, quiet lakes, very little issues with bums(mostly around the bus station). But thanks to Seattle transplants, Californians, Portland transplants, etc... that all changed.. Yeah... Stop advertising the area...we are full and we do not have enough affordable housing... Tell them to go somewhere else... Gentrification sucks!😠
Haggadon is like the main guy. The big shot. The boss hog of CDA. But he never met the Don of the CDA family.
Beautiful presentation. I’m originally from lake como, Italy. I have been living in Palm desert California for 27 years and things are changing so fast there! Unfortunately not for good.
We will visit Coeur d’Alene very soon, I love the small community idea and above all I love nature.
I used to work in Indio. When I win the lottery I’d like to leave Cali!!!
You must love bigotry and ignorance too!
I hope you are white, buddy!
Silver Valley just outside CDA is beautiful and affordable, next big boom going that way but still very reasonable, skiing and kayaking, UTV, fishing, hunting, hiking, mount biking is endless. Pinehurst, Wallace, Kellogg all great areas to live
Yup Silver Valley is cleaner than Kootenai County because of the Super Fund Clean up,
Yes, we are a very into our hunting, fishing and guns, so do not move here and glare or make snooty comments about me because I open carry. Don't like it? Leave.
It's videos like this that has ruined our little town; contributing to the traffic our roads are not equipped to handle and exploding our real estate market to the point that people from here cannot afford to live here. Rents are through the roof and minimum wage is still around $7.25 an hour.
This is frustrating...
You’re literally getting squeezed by capitalism.
I’m even more excited about moving my family to Idaho ❤ Thank you so much for your inspirational to me video of your pros and cons in Coeur d’Alene Idaho. This means allot to me and my little family as we need a stable safe community and town to call home 😊
I've lived here for 26 years, it used to be a wonderful, small town, place. No longer. Overcrowded and overpriced now. Public friendliness is gone, and traffic accidents are frequent, just to name a couple of heartbreaking changes. For all thinking of moving up here, keep in mind the housing and rent prices are very high. Average wages do not support the cost of living, do your homework.
Someone said that he rented his apartment in Moscow because it was about half the price of an apartment in Pullman (approximately one year ago, around the beginning of the semester). Do you think this is true?
Also, I know how you feel.
TL;DR: sorry, just ended up going on a whole rant...
Where I live, for the Cost of Living compared to minimum wage as a baseline, a balanced ratio would drive the minimum wage up to over $25.00, which would leave a devastating impact on small businesses, and of course on large businesses and number of jobs, and on the cost of pretty much everything. As prices go up, taxes should decrease- NOT increase. They say that the cost of everything goes up BECAUSE of wage increases, yet, that's not the way it's been working at all over the past however many years. And they have to unfortunately raise minimum wage because they don't account for the fact that employers have been more reluctant to give impactful raises, it's like they're stuck in the past, and the should-be raises are either going into the pockets of the large and chain business owners, or they're just going to maintain livelihood for small business owners, who can't raise their costs enough to make up for the potential profit loss.
When I was little, my mom worked as a maintenance tech for $35/hr. Almost 20 years later, that same plant and position are hiring for $18/hr. Something isn't adding up. What will people do with all of their property when all of the people in town are sharing a longhouse?
move UP here... LOL... Californians give themselves away so easily...
@@ricksmith4736yep. I despise Californians. They’ve ruined my hometown
I think it’s important to remember that change is constant. There is legislation being drafted and supported by both parties that will greatly reduce the squeeze on inventory over a 10 year period. Don’t lose hope, things will get better.
@@LivingLifeNorthIdaho
If you think things are going to ‘get better’, you’re delusional. You can’t undo the damage that’s been done here. The entire area is a trash heap of California induced sprawl. It will never get better at this point, we passed that chance about 20 years ago.
If you are on medication, please make arrangements with your md before you move to have 6 months of refills because it can take 6 to 9 months to get into an md. Urgent care and ER will not refill all meds and wait times in the ER can be 8 to 12 hours and urgent care can have wait times up to three hours at times. We dont have enough healthcare professionals to care for the population here let alone the ones moving in and we are having difficulty recruiting more due to high cost of living. Good luck and please plan accordingly. We've been discovered and we are having major issues due to growth. You all have been warned. I'm sorry Trent. I like you and I know I am not helping sales for you. I'm just being honest.
HI @Hilary Richardson I'm not sure where you are talking about because this has not been my experience at all. It took me about 3 weeks to change doctors from my previous one. And my most recent trip to urgent care, last December when I nearly broke my leg snowbiking, had about a 30 minute wait time. I'm sure there are practices with long wait times but I do believe there are some with little to no wait.
@Living Life In North Idaho you were fortunate my friend. I work in Spokane and live in Coeur d alene. I'm glad you had a positive experience but that isn't the same experience my husband had a few days ago at urgent care in cda and We have been slammed at work in urgent care in Spokane. We have a lot of folks come in that just moved here to Spokane or CDA and are telling us they cannot get established with primary care for months.
We work really hard to get patients through as quickly as possible, and I want to clarify that if you have an emergency or are seriously injured, you will get seen quickly. Thank you Trent. ❤️
Many conservative Californian’s kids are getting into the medical/healthcare field 🤔
@@coastalhillbilly3419keep them in Cali. We don’t want them here 🤢
I would absolutely love to live in Coeur d'Alene. It's like, the same state, but better (I'm from Twin Falls btw). Y'all've got trees up the wazoo, it's way up north so it's gotta be cooler and colder, the architecture and food choice looks better, the proximity to actually important places is phenomenal, I bet y'all could see glimpses of the aurora borealis at times in the winter, etc etc.
Love the low key "shut up about the traffic, locals.. you've never been anywhere." 🙄
I’m from the deep south and this is my dream city to retire to.
Anywhere there's snow, pine trees & water my heart is there. Now- just need to figure out how to move there.
First step: Call Living Life in North Idaho (208)907-5757 😉
If you're a liberal don't move there, they don't want this wonderful place infected.
Love this Guy and this is my first time in this channel, but I love how Well he Covered many Aspects of Daily Living in CDA.
Thanks @this is america I appreciate you watching and commenting.
The blue achids were early fall like September or early October. I remember they were still there the day my husband and I went on a cruise together. I just looked that up, it was 10/15 and it was the end of the aphids season.
Restaurants- my husband and I like Bardenay, Dockside (closed for a month) and Wolf lodge. Texas Roadhouse is a chain, but they are great and always have an insane line even during the week. Ive lived here a little over 5 months and I've only seen one homeless person. I moved here from New York City.
I grew up in Buffalo so I was prepared for the winter. I just expected what I grew up with and it's been tame lol. Meanwhile, my co-workers (some even grew up here) "I thought we were done. Why is it SNOWING???" (about Monday night). The only thing I will say is that in the winter you can really only bike the bike trails and no bike lanes. I'm lucky that I live by Prairie Trail and work downtown. We have AWD and studded tires.
CdA isn't that affordable. We are in a roommate situation where my husband has been for 10 years. Their landlord hasn't raised the rent much, but we were looking at getting our own place and we'd have to pay more than what the rent is here (with the landlord, not our cut) for a much smaller place.
I have had an amazing dinner at the Cedars years ago on the 4th of July, what a treat!
We moved to Coeur d"Alene 10 years ago from Albuquerque and love it because it's beautiful and smaller. You might have the added cost of purchasing a snowblower because we get a lot of snow sometimes and having to shovel a 3 car driveway is too hard when it's heavy snow. We live in a neighborhood that has natural tall pines and it has the feel of living in the mountains in town. Being from Albuquerque, we don't mind the cloudiness, it seems we've had enough sun lol. Your videos are spot on and are very informative.
The crime rate is low because up here in northern Idaho we are very pro gun and thousands and thousands of people concealed carry their firearms so you do not know who is armed and who is not, that a lot of criminal activity
Kind of amazing how that equasion works out. Ever notice how areas with strict gun laws have the worst crime?
That’s only a small reason for the low crime up there. The bigger and more significant reason for the low crime rate is northern ID’s demographics…..very white area….That’s why it’s safe, that’s why there’s low crime.
Don't apologize for bad-behaving cops.
Cons... Definelty not the roads. MY private road with 5 other owners is far better than all the frwys, hwys, and roads in all of CA. IDHAO LIFE IS BETTER than all the states combined. YES, LIFE HERE is more $$$ MEANS YOU Must BE PREPARED. Don't mess around in Idaho. That's why it's better here. PERIOD. Great video. GREAT PLACE TO LIVE. CHANGE IN INEVITABLE.
A Californian speaks
I LOVE all 8 seasons in North Idaho.
as an Arizonan looking into N. Idaho... let me guess, it includes that classics like "false spring", "2nd winter", "mud season"...
lol
@@Todrick451 Yup. Big on the mud season. There’s also the stink bug harvest season and Double-Summer which occurs parallel to the traditional (and perhaps politically incorrect) ‘Indian Summer’. December was early snow, followed by sub-zero for a week, and now it’s been above freezing and raining for the past 5 weeks. It’s in the same zone as Alberta, but also gets the slosh from Vancouver.
There are only two seasons here
Winter
Road Work
Which season does the Hitler festival take place?
Excellent as always, Trent!
I love the algorithm. Good stuff homie
Moving there with the family! Put our home on the market a few months ago. What a wonderful market right now btw. Goodbye California!
That lake is full of heavy metals from the mining!!😂😂. The biggest Superfund secret in all of Idaho!!
idaho is full.
Lol Liberals definitely heading your way, buddy.
I plan on moving there and I am conservative. Also hard working, law abiding, and want to be closer to my daughter in Canada. Not all people fleeing the cities are liberals.
Keep it your water is radioactive ☢️
I'll bet you're not even from Idaho... REDNECK!!!!
I remember portland Oregon before it was ruined.
Sure has changed since I lived there in the first half of the 1980’s! It is hard to recognize it at all. The lake looks twice as big now.
4:20 I wouldn't exactly say that Coeur D'Alene is a 'live and let live' town in the way it seems to be implied in this video. The example of a British women here contrasted with the idea that "you don't have to be a gun-loving republican" is telling... People moving to this area ought to be aware of its very serious past with White Supremacy (there were literal marches/parades only a couple decades ago) and an on-going struggle with radical politics. It was just last year that a hate group was planning on brutalizing the local pride parade but they were stopped by FBI agents right before they would have gone out to commit the violence. I will say that I grew up in the area, visited often and I've never personally encountered any of this extreme side of the community and the city is otherwise a lovely place, just have to be aware of the history.
Local pride parade?? Looks like this city is gone too, the Californian locusts destroy all ....
You should go to minneapolis I'm leaving there because of the crime and the extreme liberalism it's disgusting but that sounds more like your jam .
Sounds like a very cool place! 🤣
Perhaps all that white supremecy stuff is why the crime rate is so low and the town is so clean.
I Love being Retired since January 1ST. 2007.
hope post falls us comming and future of north Idaho part 2 is coming 2
There has been legendary snow some winters and equally legendary cold temperatures - a lot of people coming from elsewhere will find this a shock to the system, so to speak. And one has to be well prepared across the board to go through the winter season and do so well. (Especially when living on a rural location.)
Like a lot of things it can be okay if you’re prepared and braced for what’s coming. Is always a good idea to be able to live reasonably for a week with no power - this is good advice for about anywhere. But in winter time, you need to have a credible backup option for heating in event of utilities disruption. If prepare then can be okay - and not every winter will be an Armageddon level event, but sometimes they are. And winter has its own outdoor activities that are a lot of fun for those willing to just embrace it and go with the flow.
Just keep in mind that living on rural property in this region is not like other parts of the nation. It can get rather challenging at times. Have to plan and anticipate how those challenges will get dealt with.
And when it’s hot and dry in the summer, forest fire is a damn real concern (can’t stress that enough). Need to think about how to mitigate the risk of a fire taking out a home. Means got to think and act on keeping forest areas on property in good condition - don’t let dead wood trees and dead wood on the ground get out of control. Think seriously about how close trees are to the home itself, etc.
Am very serious - living rurally in this area has its rewards but you got to be a person that will take charge and be in control - instead of live passively thinking “the system” will always shield you. Just having an insurance policy is not going to cut it. Got to be in charge of these issues.
So many people are moving here during the summer I can’t even walk downtown like I used to in middle school with my friends! Now I’m a senior in highschool and it’s insane!
I live in Montana but I was thinking about coming down to CDA. There's no opportunities for me over here and I recently graduated as well. Are you planning to leave CDA or stay there?
It used to be an amazing place, now a single bedroom apartment is almost $1,500 a month. This is a Utopia for the rich, don't even bother moving here. 20 years ago, it was awesome and now it's an overcrowded s*** hole.
We want to move there, but my spouse, (who works IT) is required by his employer to reside in our present state. We tried to look for jobs that would allow us to move, but we have not had success. Hopefully in a year or two. God’s will be done. We would be thankful to be a part of the community out there. 🙏
The community does NOT want you.....
@@ricksmith4736yep, we’re way too over crowded as is. Last thing we need is more Californians
Conservative people generally are live and let live; the attitude of freedom, leave us alone. The left is more concerned about putting rules on people.
Lolol… sure
I know you said to have an already built and developed home in those areas you’re looking at high 5s into the high 7s but what about buying 2-5 acres of land and building something about 12-1600sqf ?
It might be a little more affordable, especially if you are able to do some of the building yourself. But it's really the land value that has skyrocketed. There are dilapidated houses in the downtown / historic neighborhoods that are going for $500,000 because it's prime land regardless of whether the original dwelling gets renovated or torn down and replaced.
Moving from Texas to Coeur D’Alene this was so helpful trying to prepare for the winters 😅
Totally agree. The cops in this town want to question you for anything. No love lost there. I got pulled over, 3 times in a 15 Block radius, last summer in my commuter car because I had a headlight burn out on me. The first cop was a dick, second cop was sympathetic, and third cop apologized and told all officers not to pull me over. I was the DD for my wife and our friend who went our for dinner and drinks, and I I just them both to get home. Did I get a ticket? No. But after the first cop did a thorough search of my car, unjustified, was the moment I knew they had too much time on their hands.
An active police force is what keeps a place from becoming like the town you are running from. Stay where you are do not change another town with your values.
@@dkoch1271The cops following the Constitution is a value that we would all be wise to ensure. A headlamp out is no invitation for a search.
@@LaurieFloodTeacher A loonie teacher speaks..
You trolls always resort to trying to defame the person rather than deal with the content of what they're saying. That's because what I'm saying is true.
@@dkoch1271 The place that I am running from is a Sierra town that is overrun with Sacramentans who are being paid handsomely to gang stalk. What you are really saying is that this country should be authoritarian rather than be a place where citizens have the freedoms that are enshrined in the Bill of Rights.
I'm so tired of living in LA, Coeur d'Alene, Boise, Twin falls or Caldwell sounds like a winner 🏆 😊
You meant hypodermic needle, not "epidermic." The latter isn't really a thing.
there is very definitely an epidermic needle issue in many big cities.
(notice the portmanteau of "hypodermic" and "epidemic")
@@Todrick451 Lol, well played.
Try the fishing guide tips. Our guides have soup with canned soup in Reno Nevada and your power for the interstate in beowawie Nevada!
My sons & daughter still live there.thanks for the update.I plan on visiting this spring from the St. Lawrence seaway.N.Y.
It is the largest town in the Idaho panhandle and it is in the Pacific Time Zone.
I just tried emailing you and email address was not accepted🤷🏻♀️
500K for a house or palace? Millionaire's only
300k scrapers.
Pho Thanh on 4th St by the freeway. Ugly little place but you don't go there for the ambiance. You go there for the food. Best Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup you'll ever have in your entire life.
Love your vids. I’m a military officer and looking for my forever retirement spot west of the Rockies
Does anyone manage to get by with 2WD vehicles and good snow tires in the winter?
Yes, but it’s really not advised. During the heavy snow days you’re going to have a really bad time.
I don't live in CDA, yet.... but have been up a bunch.
People do it, but I'd say It's a bad idea.
plus... a 4wd or awd vehicle allows you to also take full advantage of the great outdoors during summer!
@@Todrick451 UP a bunch.... Stay DOWN where you belong
These people are being over dramatic lol I’ve lived in CDA all my life, the last 8 years I’ve only driven a VW beetle that I put studded snow tires on in winter and I am constantly passing trucks and 4x4s easily, you could get by in winter here with a 2 wheel drive car with snow tires no problem. Before that I had a little Honda civic and it did just fine too. We’re so full tho so move to Oregon or something instead lol
AWD or 4WD; I learned the hard way but that was in Montana. Yet, Northern Idaho has similar topography as the Treasure State.
If you are so tolerant, what is wrong with being a hinter or a Republican?
Did someone say there was something wrong with being those?
Thanks for sharing; take care
Cons:
Drag show in the park where your kids play.
Yeah the no traffic thing is bs imo haha. Took me 50 minutes to get from Hayden to Rathdrum the other day. Its literally an 11 mile drive lmao.
Yeah, this 🤡 pretty much exposes he used to the California gridlock to call the traffic here good. He’s just another pimp trying to cash in and he’s not very honest in doing it.
You seen that pothole at Walmart? Crazy!
Crowding ruins everything. It's happening to lots of parks in Idaho. Redfish Lake is a prime example unless you like crowds and looking for a parking space.
How is the weather Mid - may? Sunny? Warm? Or rainy cold?
All of the above 😂 40 degrees this week. 80 degrees next weekend. I’m not exaggerating.
@@LivingLifeNorthIdaho next week weather is warm all over the west cost .. like a one off. What is it like otherwise? We booked a trip to CDA mid may just wondering how the weather would be? I rather reschedule and come when it is nice there
Its still cold til mid June, early July....
The lake looks beautiful!
ha, ha, ha, HA, HA, HA, "CDA has Wintery, Winters" that was Cute.
western conifer seed bugs. They're over here in upstate NY now too.
Not as bad as the shad flies use to be.St.Lawrence Seaway.
I don't like the Pol officers, being rough around the edges. I used to live in NY and I moved out 1996 for that reason.
Move TF back please.
I liked the presentation and the presenter, but I could have done without the edgy backgournd music with the super short loop. Was this some sort of subliminal warning about CDA?
Moving there in March for work. Would it be beneficial to move to a surrounding town?
It really depends on what you’re wanting. Cd’A is awesome but it is a pretty busy place. No pressure, but if you want to get some help picking the right place feel free to reach out (208)907-5757. Thanks for watching and commenting.
You'll need a 4 wheel drive, there are a lot of small towns surrounding CDA. Just depends how far you want to drive. Winter can be crazy so traveling time will increase. Out of towers that can't drive in snow and ice are a real hazard.
I have considered Coeur d'alene since I read there's a swath of traditional Catholicism there.
IE crazy backward bible thumping nazis, yes there are.
What are some of the careers there?
I'm curious, are you using Descript to edit these? Studio Sound perhaps?
Reaching out ...my daughter works there has to down size to a different apt...do you know anyone that would work with credit issues that's stopping acceptance...she works full time and a part time job...I live in different state she lives there...her lease goes up Friday...plz send info she can call to work with renter..she has a son. .thank u so much this is her Mom reaching out to try to help....thank u so much 6/2024
Coeur d Alene is a destroyed mess. Thanks California
My brother is letting me drive his car while he deploys next week in the Navy. "My car" will have CT plates. We'll see how people react when they see CT plates in CDA! CA plates are worse imo
5:29 / 18:20 were actually getting a Trader Joe’s soon! It will be right next to Pilgrums! Or however you spell it 😂 I’m supper excited! Then during the summer I can go to a Trader Joe’s that isn’t too far from my house! Although my house is classified hazardous right now at the moment I’m still here watching this vid on my (kind of) hometown even is video was from a year ago! I work as a student mentor at where the old museum used to be! The educational rights system place now I believe. But I help students want to learn how to make art in so many different ways! I’ve met many different kids with many different disabilities and it’s such a unique job to have! It’s so powerful and wonderful here in Idaho!
… just hope people treat others nicely when they move here. We’ve had lots of rude rivers recently and it’s quite scary! 😱 I recommend biking! Or walking. But otherwise that I give my hometown an A+!
What’s the best cell phone service to get in northern Idaho?
Verizon by far. It’s still not awesome but better than the rest.
My husband drives up to the mountains for work. He currently has Verizon, but we are going to switch to T-Mobile. I have ATT, but I don't really leave CdA proper much even to Hayden and Post Falls.
@@LivingLifeNorthIdaho still so many crap spots here. Riverstone is terrible
@@LivingLifeNorthIdaho what about high speed internet service? Do they have Spectrum or Xfinity?
There are a few options. Intermax, spectrum and TDS are the most common. I have intermax and they’re pretty good.
Great video. But the monotonous background noise was making it hard to concentrate on what you were saying.
I had heard that the local people in Idaho are not happy with people from California moving into their state. I live and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and now looking to move out due to the crazy people and government. Taxes are going up and the government is even more crazy with spending our hard earned tax dollars. I don't have the same views as most Californians and I did vote for Trump so I'm a minority. I'm retiring soon and plan to move out of California like many have already. I'm sure many don't want their state to turn into another California which a agree with. I don't want that either. What do you see happening in Coeur D'Alene and how do the locals feel about the changes that are going on?
Thanks for my tea. I know cowboy club. Take coffee boiler and horses.
Did you know any of the people from the movie kid cannbis? like nate norman or christoper clark?
Not personally but I knew friends of friends and family members of those guys.
Here doing my research.... my family has had enough. Tried living in Southern Oregon after northern Cal but still can't kick the "blues" if ya know what I mean. Desperately seeking normalcy, and we love the outdoor adventures as well as hibernating in winters! Would love to call you soon!
I hear you @Bonnie Moughler and I’m looking forward to talking with you.
Please consider Idaho County. We left the Spokane Coeur D'Alene are for good reason. It is well on its way to being trashed like So. Cal. This guy's stats are iffy. Crime is on the rise big time in the whole area.
HA
I grew up in Orange County, CA (was red growing up)...
Fled to Southern Oregon (Central Point & Medford).... the state of Jefferson is a beautiful area/concept.... but reality is, like OC, they're outnumbered.
Now in Arizona..... and the writing is on the wall.
Doing some finish up home repairs, touch ups.... planning to put it on the market in May....
Then we're headed north.
@@Todrick451 Hi!! I lived in Goodyear, Arizona August 2021-April2022. I moved to Tennessee but I also lived in Rathdrum, Idaho for 5 weeks in 2021. I definitely would choose Idaho especially since your family enjoys Winter activities. 😊 I was born and raised in Southern Ca. moved to Oregon in 2006 but because of blue politics I moved out.
@@esthersaldana9772 yeah... i keep fleeing the blue wave.... looking to find my people.
LOL
I've spent a total of about 6 weeks up in the area since August
not too picky, something between CDA and Bonners Ferry will do. ;)
The strong republican presence is why its not a shit hole yet lol. -washington
Why not list that there's 52 nuclear reactors in Idaho and that the water has Uranium and Radium in it along with many other pollutants??? Seems like a bigger issue that should be brought up 🤔
That’s really interesting. I didn’t know about that. Luckily that site is near Idaho Falls which is no where near Cd’A. Thanks for watching and commenting.
need to find a rent house in May June time
:Poor Cour d'alene, LIke many many , what used to be great places, has been taken over by loons from California.....
you should see the loons we are escaping from
What happened to the second amendment vid?
I meant to post it as a CZcams short but accidentally posted as a main video. You can find it under Shorts on my channel.
No employment.
Traffic definitely gets a little crazy in the summer, prepare for that. Everyone from Spokane loves CdA so you get 2 cities packed into one sometimes
I grew up in Spokane. Cour de' a lene is okay... I go there once in a while, but I cannot say that everyone I know loves to go there. It has gotten very touristy and the traffic is getting worse. I go to art events there once in a while, or maybe rarely a boat ride same as my relatives and friends, but I would not say we spend a lot of time there. We have enough to keep us busy here. Don't forget the dozens of lakes, trails, etc. Fine dining, entertainment, etc. We have here in Spokane. I would not doubt they love coming here more so then the opposite. Especially if they need specialists for doctors, or they want to see a concert, or fly somewhere, or want to do some real shopping other than Amazon... Or if they just want variety in food, entertainment, etc.. without the big price tag. So yeah we use each other. Us using North Idaho for outdoor activities and some unique dining and some of the art scene, and Silverwood with Idaho... and us for most everything else. We have Gonzaga and their games, WSU, EWU, riverpoint too... hoopfest, sports arenas, bloomsday...symphony...our lakes are probably cleaner than the mining sludge at the bottom of lake CdA. It is pretty gross. Pretty lake though. Just maybe don't swim in it too much and don't eat the fish from there. 😅 Same as the Spokane River...don'tneat the fish from there as the pollutants from Idaho come downstream to us. Thanks CdA. 😂
Visiting Coeur d Alene right now
I’m actually moving there here soon. This was very helpful. Thank you
You bet Alicia! Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.
Same, I’m moving here with my family to meet up with my grandparents in a couple weeks and can’t wait.
Trent, I don’t know about CDA, but in Athol we also have a ton of yellow jackets and pine cone beetles along with the stink bugs during “bug season.”
And no, we don’t know traffic up here. I came from the land of six traffic lanes in both directions, much of the time traveling at 10 MPH because of the traffic congestion. We don’t have traffic . . . yet.
Can you help people rent in Coeur d’Alene
Trent, talk about the churches. What is available.
Okay, i'm on my way. It looks beautiful there!!
UH, I think chicago or N Orleans is where you belong..
I am from Oregon but my entire family is from there including my mother. Trying to get away from the crazy libs for a more wholesome feel. Is it easy to find rentals? Is there disc golf courses nearby?
Libs are only really in the valley! Californian politics are getting everywhere.. but believe me 80% or more of Oregon isn’t liberal.. amazing what 1 city can do.. it is beautiful though!
No traffic in CDA😂😂😂😂😂
People like this sissy boy keep moving in
Right?
Traffic is an absolute 💩 show.
I know and understand a lot of people from other states loathe Californians, historically we haven’t been sending our best but there are many, many financially responsible conservatives in Californians that want out, that want to live in freer more merit based societies that probably would and could handle the climate in Boise who could help shore up the “Reds”
Too BAD... STay where you belong... YOU are all teh same....
To those of you that are thinking of moving here, Please don't.. The more of you that move here, the worse the traffic gets and the more of us that were born and raised here.Hate you and everyone else that moves to town. I'm not trying to be a jerk. Just be an honest. From 1990 up until 2020., We grew 106%. That's literally doubling our population.. Just visit and be a tourist and please don't add to our problem of overgrowing too fast.
Ваши обращения не помогут.
How is Coeur d'Alene for the retired demographic? Temperatures?
Is this similar to Calgary?
I want to live there ❤
My house goes up for sale soon! Downtown cda.
At least the real estate agents are doing well...
There was a realter that got his ass kicked for bashing a city in north Idaho and it was not Coeur D' Alene, Idaho.
I’m gonna move all my black friends out here, fingers crossed we like it!
please tell me about Rexburg.
What’s your take on this being a sundown town. Can you share experiences or showcase a person of color who can share what it’s like for their perspective
I would definitely argue that Coeur d'Alene is not a "sundown town." The media has been painting Idaho as a "racist state" for a very long time but the fact is, you have a handful of slack-jawed morans acting out their ignorance on innocent people with darker skin than them. This doesn't define a county of 200k people and I'm confident law enforcement will handle this with focus and intention. Don't buy into the media's hype. Coeur d'Alene is a loving, accepting place.
This is what my darker-skinned clients have told me. "Low levels of racism exist everywhere. The worst we have had it was in Philidelphia. We have been met with a lot of smiles and a lot of joy. Yeah, we get some looks every now and again, but who cares? It only bothers those who want to let it bother them."
I could
It seems like it is a true American City.
