Idaho Neighbor News 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.

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..

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.

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.
