Really at a loss: Considering jobs,cost of living,renting home or apartment with a pet. I am certified in Law Enforcement and Corrections,but I need to test for a job which can take up to month or more to acquire a position. Considering all this what do you think? In my research WA,OR pay more but also cost more to live and seem to have the most jobs. OR has no sales tax but has income tax and WA is vise a versa. So sell me on your state if you can? Thanx.Thanx in advance.jim(also consider the nasty hot humid summer I have in this miserable state of Florida). I like snow but not tons!

Any amount of snow is better than this hell hole of FL!

Look at Boise. It's a more tepid climate --warmer and less snow. It's a city of about 350,000 and a surrounding area of about 500,000 +/-. I think that you would feel comfortable there coming from Florida. It's a good community with good people. Idaho has low income and property taxes. 6% sales tax. Conservative policies but Boise is a much more moderate atmosphere because its the state capital. Excellent skiing and hiking and outdoor activities as well as a draw for large concerts and shows from groups passing through Idaho on their way from Salt Lake to Seattle etc. Idaho has a constitutional obligation to balance the budget, so we are pretty fiscally minded. I'm not going to sell you too much because it all comes down to preference and priorities. But I think you would like the Boise area. I'm from Idaho Falls --the other side of the state. We get a lot of snow.
