My in-laws want to move to Utah because thier son lives there with a girl he met online. All he can do is rave about it. I suggested moving to Idaho instead. I have been to both and I like Idaho better but they are leaning toward Utah. I have lived all over the world and he has lived in mexico city, san diego and salt lake city. I dont want their loser son to shack up with us again when he doesnt pay rent, has no respect for anyone in the house and is constantly fighting with his dad. We live in San Diego CA now and its getting rediculous to afford to live here and we need a change of scenery. Can someone help me with an argument for idaho or an argument against utah?

We are living with my inlaws because with my new baby, grandma really helps take care of her. I am working so much and going to school. Plus my father in law and I have talked about me buying a house and he, being a carpenter, could live with me and make additions to the house and appreciate the value. Its only a plan and if need be, I would just flat out not move with them to utah. I realize that there are many good things about utah and if the brother wasnt a factor, I would probably do it. But his family protect him against me even though they know I am right. They dont want me to confront him on shortcomings and it drives me nuts. He has a violent past with his family and I think they fear him and sympathize with him at the same time. I tell his mom to cut the cord but she thinks he needs help. So thats why I need some convincing evidence for Idaho over utah.

I have spent time in Idaho. Idaho is lovely. It has wide open spaces, and also cities. The people in Idaho are very good, hard-working, and kind hearted. Recreation, outdoors, excellent.
But there are 3 distinct corners of Idaho, think of it as a triangle. Which part of Idaho would you like to live in?
Up north, Coeur d'Alene, the LAKE! trees, college, resort, tourists, more snow in the winter, skiing.
SW corner, Boise, university, tech companies, warmer usually, Boise marathon, Capital, jobs, big public schools.
SE corner, Idaho Falls, Snake River, potato capital of the world, near Yellowstone Park, Near Salt Lake (just 2 1/2 hours away) down I-15, university in Pocatello, colder.
It has often been said that Idaho has 3 capitals: Boise, Salt Lake, and Spokane. Each area is like the large city that they are closest too.
By the way: not having a Staples does not make an entire state behind the times, in my opinion, there are other things that make the quality of life better! There's Best Buy and Circuit City...what more could you ask for?

If i had the choice between Utah and Idaho. I would personally choose Utah it is not because i live and grown up in Utah. But from what i have seen from some visits to Idaho is they are behind us and have not many of things to do. For an example they are just getting a Stapples store there in Idaho here in Utah we have had it around for about 10 years or so if not more. The weather seems to be a lot colder in Idaho in the Winter time then it is in Utah. I would say go ahead and let your in-laws move it does not mean that you have to move. Also if you goes to live with you I would set down some rules and if he does not follow the rules then i would kick him out and say that you are not welcome to live with us again. You can visit and stay a couple of days though. One of those rules could be to get a job and to help pay the bills. I know your husband might think otherwise.
By the way why do you in-laws what to live near him? To me it sounds like their son is not grown up at all. He should have his own place and not living with a girl friend. That way he can learn how to be more responsible. I will say that i hope that good things do come out in the end and hopefully he will not move in with you again.

There are purely about as many Mormons in California as there are in Utah. And the country with the optimal percentage of Mormons is Tonga. Mexico has twelve temples - a similar variety as Utah. Mexico has over one thousand chapels. i'm no longer advantageous what type of a geometrical structure which will be, even though it isn't a triangle.

Why don't you and your significant other just move to seattle where it is probably way cooler than both of those places, and let them chase their loser internet dork son to Utah, where, unless you are morman, there really isn't anything to work with. Why are you living with your In-laws anyway?

Wow. Both suck.
But if it's Utah...make sure it's near SLC.
Idaho...Boise.
Overall though. Idaho sucks the most. Unless you're into meth and junk yards. And then I guess it rules.
