Moscow got the better end of the deal when it gave up the state capitol,
which moved to Boise, in exchange for the state university, which became
a land grant institution.

Moscow got a bigger percentage of better quality of people, a better
sustainable and higher quality of life, and a naturally more modest rate
of growth that avoided the stresses and strains of over-rapid expansion
that Boise City and Ada County have been required to sustain over the
intervening decades.

May Moscow continue to enjoy its modest growth and continuing successes.
