I wouldn't know where "the best western state ro live in". That covers way too much territory.
As much as I dislike California as a state, it had good fishing, good hunting, and good scenery. But I'm glad to be back in Boise.
If you want to, or have to live in a metro area then Boise is better than others. At least I wouldn't leaving here for another metro. Just live close to work.
If I was leaving here I'd consider Ontario Oregon, or the Lewiston Idaho areas. Technically Ontario is in the Boise Metro area.
If your inclined to work Corrections consider in Ontario. It has the biggest prison in Oregon. Idaho Corrections pays so low you'd need a seperate income just to afford to work for them.
