Of course, of course! On the scale of individuals and small groups
there are fine people in both cities. However, Boise has more than
eight times as many people as Moscow, and Ada county has more than
eleven times as many people as Latah county. Within these larger
populations, there is more diversity, and there is less relative
concentration of individuals whose life works are, arguably, at
least, more desirable and efficacious to society at large. For
example, the ratio of the percentages of education and library
workers in Moscow and Boise is about four to one. (Sperling's Best
Places comparison, at economy). Yes, that is a value judgment about
quality of life.<br>
