Million-Dollar Lake Homes in Montana and Idaho Sell For Double What They Did Two Years Ago

3. For now, developers have been beaten down in their latest push to swap

state-owned endowment lands around west-central Idaho's Payette Lake area for less desirable property elsewhere.

These development efforts have been going on for years and will likely be eventually successful despite (or because of?) red-state Idaho's long time, bottom of the barrel standing in public education metrics which endowment lands are constitutionally required to support.

Also constitutionally required is equal, per pupil funding for Idaho's schoolkids but every year that is conveniently overlooked by Idaho's extreme right legislature. You know, taxes. You can bet though, they will use the constitutional, best-bang-for-the-buck endowment lands argument when it comes to satisfying hungry development interests.

So it is profit for the wealthy few while keeping Idaho school kids wallowing at the bottom.
