Multiple Fatal Accidents Reported on Interstate 15 in Southern Idaho

I15 has been a deadly road in recent weeks as there have been multiple ISP reports of fatal accidents on the Interstate. The three most recent happened within a few days of each other.

Housing prices have been a common issue among residents of Idaho since everyone wants to pay less for their homes. But that doesn't mean you can sell your house, buy an RV, and live on a neighbor's property in it. Idaho law prohibits the majority of people from living in an RV, but with enough land and following a few rules, it is possible.
