is taken away. Housing prices are likely close to the top now. Nowhere to go but down. In 2010, we bought our home at less than $100,000 in a very desirable area. Previous owner needed to bring over that same amount to the closing. His mortgage was upside down. He'd bought in the go go market of the early 2000s, and couldn't sell without lowering price drastically. I'm thinking the same thing will happen soon again. I'm afraid many will fall victim to the seductive lure of rising prices again.

state-owned endowment lands around west-central Idaho's Payette Lake area for less desirable property elsewhere.

These development efforts have been going on for years and will likely be eventually successful despite (or because of?) red-state Idaho's long time, bottom of the barrel standing in public education metrics which endowment lands are constitutionally required to support.

Also constitutionally required is equal, per pupil funding for Idaho's schoolkids but every year that is conveniently overlooked by Idaho's extreme right legislature. You know, taxes. You can bet though, they will use the constitutional, best-bang-for-the-buck endowment lands argument when it comes to satisfying hungry development interests.

So it is profit for the wealthy few while keeping Idaho school kids wallowing at the bottom.

going to live at? Pricing out everybody else in the meantime. Nice. Really nice. A way of live is disappearing.
