Pocatello has it beat. Roughly the same amount of annual precipitation. Never hot and humid. A few rare days with a temperature inversion that holds pollutants in the valley vs gross smoggy skies most of the time in San Diego. Less traffic. Lower cost of living. Parking at the airport is free. No annual smog certifications (that cost me 3x the purchase price of my 914 Porsche in San Diego...zero since moving). Pocatello has a natural source of water sufficient for the population. We don't have cities threatening fines for watering on the "wrong day" or washing the car. Freeways are 75 MPH and not crowded. No need for traffic reports every 10 minutes.

I will concede occasional annoyance with deer, elk and moose nibbling on my plants in the front yard during the winter. We've had skunks, porcupines and wild turkeys wandering in the front yard too. The Idaho State University mascot is the Bengal tiger, but the more common wild life on campus is a mountain lion.

You live in Idaho and complain about San Diego being cold?....lol

Pocatello has it beat.

OOoooook...You have fun up there with that world class weather!

You’re lucky, I much prefer the 4-legged thieves over the 2-legged gangbangers and various assorted other criminals in urban areas :)

But then I live in Mississippi and no one ever notices that we exist, and I like it that way:) I wouldn’t live anywhere else after all these years, except in an undiscovered mountain “holler” in Appalachia, if I had to move. The kind of place that might have a snake-handling church hidden away (but I’d have to skip those services, I hate snakes!)
