Is north idaho a good place to raise a son?

As good as any other place. If the home life is not good no place is a good place. I have found that no matter where you are if you raise your child in a good church he/she will turn out well. Parents who are really involved with their children make up for a lot.

I was in Iowa this summer doing disaster relief work though my church and was talking to the mayor of Waterloo. He offered me a job and to be honest if it was not for the winter I would have had trouble turning him down. (I'm from the South). The people are great and I fell in love with the town. So yes I think I could raise my 2 there if not for the winters.

As any other place I guess: to a child parents are far more important than the place where he lives.

as opposed to where?

its better than south central LA

it more depends on the local neighborhood and the school

Yea its like the population is 40% mormon and they are really nice people with good standards unless you hate religion
