Tell me about Idaho. Thinking about moving...

The problem with Idaho is the reason I could potentially move there...Tech jobs. My wife is a tech recruiter and has had some colleagues move there from her company. Boise is rapidly becoming a second west coast tech hub behind Seattle and San Fran and even more so than SLC. Once that shit starts, if Seattle is any bellwether you've got about 10 years.

Have yet to meet a single California ( or Nevada) transplant in Idaho that fits the liberal narrative talked on here. Not one. A few that don't like Trump for personal reasons but California ideologues, no way. The urban growth, the growth in general is inevitable, but will cycle through. More people bitching about other people than any real substance. Don't blame Boise on California. Look in the mirror.

100% correct, the retards blaming ca transplants are just repeating the same old bullshit they came up with while sitting on the couch thinking about who to blame

Everything south of Portland that's closer to salt water than to Canada is full of Massholes. Fuck that. State should be split in two. Draw a line from Bath through the bottom 3rd of Oxford county. Make everything south of that it's own state and build a big fuckin wall.
 
move out near the sugar beet processing plant near nampa............ you'll love it!

--I'm surprized no one from here has said Idaho is closed.

​​​​​​Lower elevation but a lot higher in latitude. Like the other poster said, outside of summer sunshine can be few and far between which will be a big shock coming from sunny Colorado. It's in the mountain west, so yeah there's fire danger. Not as high as CO, but still ever present.

that is the kind of information I'm looking for. thanks!

Yet they aren't complaining when they list their $200k property for $600k :laughing:​​​​​​

I can't say that the mass migration isn't causing some of the issues, but to just say every Californian is the problem is pretty ignorant. What can we blame the problems in our small towns that weren't here 20 years ago on? Were already in California :homer:

I know a few people who ended up in NID after the fire and they said everyone has been nice and welcoming. Not the hostile hate you'd expect after reading a few posts in here.

Here's some proof that all the "growth in population" in Idaho isn't from California. Only 21.3% of the people who moved to Idaho came from California.

"Only" 21% when the runner up is Washington with 11% and "foreign country" with 10%. You can arguably blame a lot of the Washington population on CA as well because that's probably why most of them are leaving WA.

Still disproves your original claim that Cal. immigrants are fucking up Idaho. Keep on moving the goalposts and changing your story. :rolleyes:

Same. One single negative from a midget cowboy hat/boot too tight jean huge belt buckle wearin geek who said regarding my CA plates, "I'd take that shot off there right now". Biggest gayest bro-truck in the parking lot and he's from CA , only 15 years ago. I completely understand and sympathize with anti-CA emotions, but insinuating I, we, will liberalize the great sheep, tree and grass states is simply not true,

Howe did you draw that conclusion?

~20k/yr (generous assumption since that info is decently old) in to a state with less than 2mil is gonna fuck shit up in very short order.

I was going to guess he wasn't even originally from there, before I finished reading :laughing:​​​​​​

We fell in love with NID about 7 years ago when we visited my wife's great uncle in cocolalla. Should have made the jump then, but didn't want to leave family. Then the fire took all of our houses and our whole town, now we're all looking to move. Sucks that it's the cool thing now, prices are pretty high.

i think this is a larger driver of the 'californication' of smaller areas. you had the mass migration before from the farm/rurals areas to 'industrialized' areas for jobs. those jobs have ran their course and ideas (aka tech) are where the money is since we outsource most items. with technology progressing allowing people to make good money working from basically anywhere with internet access you will see a migration to areas with less people and 'cheap' living. i know austin has collected a lot of tech people in the past few years. my gut says we will see the population spread out in the next decade.

there is an honest belief that over the next 20 years something like 80% of people will live in 'cities' so that they can minimize their travel, live culture filled lives and minimize ecological impact. the remaining 20% of people will ideally be mega farms

:vader: since industrialization people have pushed back against that plan but that is certainly the minority

For sure! It's going to get to the point of why even live in a big city, especially with the precedent set by COVID and the civil unrest, the cities have shown their true colors. Why pay the high rent prices and taxes to be near the office when the office can be anywhere. This will cause further issues as people who cant afford to move out the cities are stuck footing the bill or surrounded by a rotting cess pool Detroit style. Crazy considering 18months ago they were pushing for evreyone to migrate back to the cities because of manbearpig.

The californians have done a nice job of keeping my Illinois ass out of idaho, they drove up housing prices and the job market still pays kind of shitty. (Kicks dirt)
 
If I were independently wealthy or worked remotely, I would buy a farm North of Bonners Ferry. I LOVE that area and it's still the West. Albeit, it has been ~6 years since I've been that far North.

hows the sunshine in Idaho in general?

If we decide to move there, we would most likely be offgrid. Here in Colorado we have more than enough sun to run our solar systems...

Short on time, haven't read the rest of the responses yet, but have you looked into SW Montana at all? I loved Montana winters - clean, beautiful white snow and the bluest skies I'd ever seen.
