      @@klyskiboi 🤔 after traveling to so many places, I actually feel much more “free” in CDA than in many other cities and states. I can see your point of view, but I can also see it from the other side, what hagadone did for CDA can be interpreted in multiple ways, but from the outside it is a thriving city, thousands of jobs and oportunities, it is clean and beautiful and of course all of that comes at a price, and I think that’s a lot of people that remember how it was don’t like the direction it is going 🤷‍♂️

Seattle is full of crime, high living costs, homeless everywhere and a insipid liberal government that is inept and corrupt. I will retire soon and leave Seattle forever and good riddance. I will be moving to Coeur d' Alene or a small town very close to it and end my days in peace and beauty and away from the liberal nightmare of Seattle. I look forward to the many hiking and walking trails, boating in the lake and away from the liberal buffoons.

If you find it, well drilling is 2 years back logged. Tyrants run the sherif office and courts. City has very high cases of pancreatic cancer. Lake CDA is sweet but forget boating in summer, way to many people and the water is like the ocean. August is usually destroyed by wildfire smoke.

    This is my hometown. I was born and raised here. I was curious about what people say if they just visit/vacation here! If you are thinking of moving here please be aware that our housing market is super inflated, our infrastructure just seems to get worse by the month, and there's a lot of issues with bigotry. I performed at our Pride in The Parks just last June and we had a couple men walking around the outskirts of the park with assault rifles. Then the infamous group of 30 men that actively planned to intimidate/riot our festivities.
    I have also been actively harassed by multiple people on separate occasions for wearing some black eyeliner (im a guy), having a pride flag on my water bottle, and having a BLM pin on my hat. Like, it's no joke. They are pretty ruthless. Thankfully I was in pretty public locations for all interactions so nothing really went too far. (I'm not confrontational at all so that helped im sure) (im also 5'4. so. I don't really have a choice lol)

Sadly we live in a world where people tend to complicate things 🤷 not only for themselves but for others because of engrained beliefs or opinions etc, I haven’t found a place where that isn’t the case 😅, I do have to say CDA is one of those “little cities” where I’ve always felt safe, walking downtown, day or night, there’s other cities I wouldn’t go out at night at all 😅 then again we all have different perspectives!

Great lake, but its like bumper cars out there, not joking. There are not literally 1,000,000 things to do here. Everything he showed you, you can throw a rock and hit the CDA resort. Evertyhing else, well, its north Idaho. Dont buy in to the lie unless you are one of those billionar types that wants to live in an condo 23 stories off the ground on the strip.
