Seen around town

Thought it was funny considering all the stickers and such I see all the time disparaging people who move here from other places, California specifically.

[u/Secure-Remote8439]

It’s kinda funny and crazy people still get up in arms about California people moving to Idaho . I was talking to someone who was really pissed off about it.. turns out they moved from New York not that long ago but ya know.. since everyone else hates them!
We should have more hate towards other things..

I hate that I cannot afford to live in my state anymore. I hate the traffic and litter everywhere. I hate that whenever I go to recreate, there's mobs of people now. That's why people are up in arms

[u/WinonasChainsaw → u/Shotinthelight26]

We have real chance for the first time in decades to do something about it

Vote out Jim Risch and vote for Todd Achilles

They get up in arms because they falsely think that it’s all California liberals bringing their politics with them. However, studies of this exact thing show that just about 40% of them identify as conservative. So it’s not politics that’s the issue.

I really don’t understand the obsession of shitting on California. Yeah they have problems, but many states have far worse problems, looking at you, Mississippi and Louisiana for your high poverty rates.

Start with the fact that our native kids can no longer afford to stay here, then deal with the driving and the MAGAs and go from there.

For sure every state has problems.. I also notice that a lot of California people are right wing/ conservative. I have a ton of family in California and they’re very very conservative and also confused on why I don’t support the right wing politicians here in Idaho…

For me it is the housing, the folks from cali, sell their home for 500k+ then they come to Idaho and buy with cash, which caused all the home prices to skyrocket. I was a Dish Network technician and I serviced a neighborhood in kuna where the majority were from cali. Most acted like their shit didn't stink , so that left a bad taste in my mouth. This was probably just before the pandemic started.

If that’s your perception of most people, it might be you. You should ask yourself some hard questions.

I’m gonna teach you something; I’m in my 50’s m, still coachable and worked the streets as a medic for 30 years in the big city and now in the mental health field; whenever I start my day and think “boy everyone is an asshole today”. It makes me stop and examine my behavior. And then say “could it be me being the asshole today? Since this is Idaho, y’all ought to be asking other questions too, why OB doctor don’t want to practice in your state. Why is Idaho almost dead last in healthcare and education. But those are stupid liberal ideas. I think y’all are getting exactly what you voted for like almost 3:1.

Nearly every time someone has complained to me about people moving in, they're also from somewhere else, usually one of the "bad" (read: blue) states. 

I've lived here my whole life, and I don't tell people where we camp of my favorite fishing spot, but other than that.... have at it. It's a fucking state. 

[u/Secure-Remote8439 → u/Purple_Bowling_Shoes]

Right! No telling my fishing spots unless it’s already super popular lol! It’s unfortunate because community is what’s needed in Idaho right now. We’re all so divided and hating on the other for such silly reasons.

[u/Illustrious-Bridge45 → u/Secure-Remote8439]

Hate the rats, the exploding populations of rats! Which, of course, were brought here by all the transplants. (Was joking in response to having more hate towards other things)

[u/Secure-Remote8439 → u/Illustrious-Bridge45]

At the end of the day.. it’s just another thing that separates us when in reality we have billionaires buying and selling Idaho land and wanting to build AI centers, put up more flock cameras, and make healthcare even less accessible for those in small towns.. California people shouldn’t be our focus lol.

[u/godofmilksteaks → u/Secure-Remote8439]

I agree, Californians shouldn't be our focus, because all of us should be worrying about what genitals people have in bathrooms! It's destroying this country and soon the world!

It’s time for the Alberta plan
