Girl, just straight out say it... Californians... I get it. We have a reputation for being super liberal. With how huge this state is and how many people live here, there's more conservatives than people think. I know it feels like an overwhelming amount of Californians are moving to Idaho, but most that do, are conservative and looking to find a place we would fit into. And there ARE country folks here too. Cowboys, farmers, ranchers, gun loving patriots etc etc. There's no worries about a Californian moving there trying to change things unless you see the rainbow flag or some clear sign they're a liberal. And many of us like to keep to ourselves too just because most of our neighbors are liberal and uptight and snobby and self centered. But a lot of us conservatives in Cali are really down to earth. We don't all have lots of money or huge houses and electric cars. We just want to be left alone and not be told what to do or not to do. We just want to be free and live around like minded folks. As long as Idahoans are friendly and welcoming to us California migrants, you will find we are not much different and we're very friendly if we were just given that chance to show people that.

Most people don't realize or even remember that before 1992, California was a RED state and between 1992 to 2004, it was PURPLE, but turning more Democrat crazy every year. From 1993 to 2001, Richard J. Riordan, a Republican, and terrible RINO (which was the norm back then), was the mayor of Los Angeles. From 1967 to 1975, Ronald Reagan was our Governor. Then from 1983 to 1999, George Deukmejian and Pete Wilson, both Republicans, were state governors. The reason there are so few Republicans left in California is because, over the years, most of them moved to Red states like Idaho, making them more conservative, while at the same time, liberals from all over moved in. Many of my old friends and some family members moved to red states and they were all right-wing , religious, pro-2A conservatives.

I love how polite you are about saying "Maybe don't come here" regarding certain topics haha. Glad there are some places in the US that still stand up for good old fashioned values.

The first one is one of my concerns..the funny thing is I don't live in Idaho, but those values are the reason why I want to move there and I am also afraid of people wanting to move there and change it. I am in the wrong state, really and want to live in a state that matches my values and views...and that is Idaho...When I went there it felt like home..It has been 3 years since we went and we miss it so much.

It's great to hear that Idaho is a God fearing, conservative state. I fear for your state, however. From what I understand, there are A LOT of people moving from Idaho from California, Washington, and Oregon, and I have a feeling that many of them will try to ruin your communities. Just beware that cancer spreads. Here's the problem with many of the people that are moving from California, Washington, and Oregon. Many of these people are Communist, radical Democrats, and they want nothing to do with God. And there is nothing wrong with this in the United States. You have the freedom to not practice a religion. However, what will eventually happen is that these people will start trying to erase God from public places. Wait until you get a group of the people protesting your Christmas trees in public and God in your schools. Also, these people will eventually start to challenge the fact that there isn't a huge, robust welfare system that will pay them not to work. It's coming. Just be careful.

I moved here for all those reasons. My ex left exactly for all those reasons. Bad part of Idaho… Dating is horrible. Good thing… you can stay busy outdoors.

Sounds like a breath of fresh air to me! Proof that in my heart I am Idahoan. Sounds like paradise hearing all this brings me to tears that there is such a place that does exist 😍

I loved playing in the snow!! Skiing, ice skating and sledding.

Regarding jobs, It is true that they are a few good-paying jobs, but the truth is that Idaho mainly hites people from Idaho they know for those well-paying jobs. If you are an immigrant is even more challenging to find a job despite having a college degree. It is blatant discrimination, not culture. Idaho is missing the input of new ideas and diversity. That is why it is one of the lowest states in culture and education.

I live right outide New York City in Jersey. I'm not a religious person by any means but I wanna move there so I can drive to Jackson hole/Grand Targhee during the weekdays in the winter. Is that doable even during a snowstorm? I can be pretty persistent for powder. In terms of guns... I dont give a shit if you walk around like Neo in the Matrix or like Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2... That sounds awesome. Would I be ok there?

I am sure glad I grew up there!! That is how I remember it…..so glad those things are still the same. Thank you!!

People moving from a modern city you won't find great healthcare. Most of the healthcare is about 5 years behind new treatments, there are a lot of waits and there is a huge lack of public transportation. If you're a senior it's not a good choice to live. One thing is out west we successfully shut down several rezones being pushed by realtors and developers, huge win to keep the population down as well as resource use. We are not ok with more growth. This keeps the prices of homes high because we are now limiting the zoning and permitting.

I’m thinking of moving there. My children have all moved to the salt lake area, and I don’t want to live in Utah. Very expensive. My Parents live on the Washington Idaho border and I want to be closer to family. Moved from Oregon to Nebraska 10 years ago, and it’s time to get closer to home without having to live in Washington. Winters aren’t a worry compared to Nebraska. Plus my daughter served part of her mission in Shelly during COVID. She absolutely loved the area. I’m not looking to change the area. I believe that when you move somewhere you celebrate and Immerse yourself in the culture. I’m hoping Idaho Falls is where we land. I was looking in the Post falls Couer d’lene area, but too far from the kiddos.

Another comment about Idaho is that I believe in respecting life, and I don't approve of hunting or trapping. You can call killing “part of the culture,” but I will NEVER support it. For example, an 8-year-old son of a Mormon family said “he hated wolves” repeatedly in anger. Is that what you are teaching kids? Hate is not Christian

From Parma, Idaho, the things that you’ve stated are wonderful things. I speak for my whole family. But the things that we need to add are, keep your California, Colorado, New York, blue state, attitudes out of here. We like it the way we like it don’t go screw up our state. We do not take kindly to that. Idahoans are wonderful, gentle nice God-fearing people, clean, and considerate. But there is a wild side that you don’t wanna open up a box of. Keep Idaho free. Look what’s happened to Boise, weird, parades, and flags all over and I don’t mean the American flag. We need to vote these people out.

Idaho is no good, stay in your state. You won't like it here.

Let me tell you a secret, 99% of Hispanics do their shopping on Sunday and all these companies just lose a lot of money and business. Harsh reality #3 about winters. Yes. They are harsh. It sucks. Period. #4. Yes Idaho is growing. And it’s a huge problem. Idaho falls traffic is just as bad as LA. Try getting from one side of town to the other( 4 miles) , at 5 pm on a weekday, it takes 30+ minutes. Used to be a small town. Now it’s a small town with a lot of people.
