That's funny, because just a few years ago, North Dakota's population had declined to the point where it was smaller than it was before statehood in 1889. They were actually trying to sell entire abandoned towns as a means of raising money. (That effort didn't pan out very well, because people weren't interested in dealing with North Dakota winters, although I must say, if I'd had the money, I would've bought one of those towns!)

I don't think I would want to live anywhere between Idaho and Minnesota Even if some landscapes are nice, no need to live there, a week of vacation will do, then I would start missing my palm trees and Southern girls

They don't print enough money for me to live there no matter how good their economy is. More power to them. Let them count their money....after they take their gloves off and thaw their fingers out.
