You’re getting a very narrow cultural cross section of Californians moving to these areas. There are massive cultural and value shifts in California within relatively short travel times. Most of the Californians you see moving to these places are likely not even native Californians. Further, a majority are from the coastal population centers like SF and LA or Silicon Valley. Most large population centers in the entire country are quite liberal socially and politically speaking. Same goes for California. If you were to come to the Central Valley of California where I grew up, you’ll find a lot of God-fearing, hard-working people who have a lot more beef with SF and LA than you do.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video Good job really helpful.

My grandfather long ago 1920's-1940's was a timber estimator in north Idaho. He was hired by the government and logging companies to determine the number of board feet of lumber an area of trees had. He made very good money there but chose to come back to Utah to raise his family.

I grew up in Montana, my wife is from Idaho and I really enjoyed this. I will say, however, that having moved to the Phoenix area several years ago, Billings and Boise no longer seem like "big cities" to me -- not even close. It's all relative, but to me if I wanted to get to a smaller-city situation with less traffic and crowding, even Billings and Boise would fit the bill. You would have most of the benefits of a city but still can easily get to the beautiful mountains and trout streams that are just outside the city. Billings is within a 2 hour drive of 3 of Yellowstone's entrances if I remember right.

I recommend Colorado. Utah and Idaho are full.

I was raised and worked in Missoula for about 33 years. Undergrad in Boise and moved back to Boise about10 years ago. Boise and Missoula are very similar: college towns, surrounded by mountains, lots of outdoor/recreational activities. Both real estate markets are being inflated by CA, OR, and WA transfers. The price of homes, cost of living, etc. are comparable. Food costs slightly more in Missoula, Idaho's sales tax makes cost about the same. Boise vs. Missoula. Even. Boise has considerably more commercial/industrial diversity to support growth and the room to grow. Missoula simply doesn't have it. Missoula has the UofM, real estate market, and tourism..... there really isn't much else to bring in revenue. Boise clearly has the edge here. Winters are milder in Boise but you can drive 2 hours or less and be in the mountains and snow. Population density in Boise is brutal. However, anyone who's driven Missoula's Reserve street at rush hour would argue that Boise is worse. Slight edge to Boise.

Жыл бұрын

Purely Fun Facts: Pend Oreille (pond-or-ray) is a French word meaning "long ear" in describing the Native People of the region in the early 1800's. How did French names get here? Most likely from explorers from the French colony of Quebec in what is now Eastern Canada travelling down the Columbia River from Jasper Canada (west of Fort Edmonton, today's Edmonton city) who named the Pend Oreille River where it joins the Columbia River near today's international border. The Dalles town in Washington State is another French word, it means "rapids on the river" and Tetons as in Grand Tetons in Wyoming is also French, but I will not translate it here. The Columbia River from its headwaters near Jasper to its mouth at Ft Astoria Oregon was travelled by canoe, a narrow boat 10 to 25 feet long that could be carried by several men around rapids or waterfalls, quite extensively in the early 1800's. Coeur d'Alene which means "Heart of the Awl" is also French and refers to the strong trading skills of Native People. Obviously French is not spoken in this region anymore nor does it have any connection with Quebec, and French very rarely heard in Western Canada to the north, which tends to intensely dis-like Quebec due to its very favored political position in Canada, where it gets billions of dollars in subsidies from Western Canada. (meaning if you visit Western Canada from Montana or Idaho, DON'T ask US why we don't speak French)🐻

I really have to laugh at this video. It is almost 2 years old, but you had better update your Bozeman information. I recently had to flee out of the Bozeman area. I had lived just outside Gallatin Gateway, about 10 miles from Bozeman for 45 years. The average home prices now (2022) are near $900,000. People born and raised there can't afford to but a home there. My son makes a salary well above the average salary in the area and can't afford to live there. He has chosen another part of northwestern Montana that doesn't have a university, airport or interstate with a population under 3,000 people. He can work remotely. I put my house on the market and in 3 days over the Thanksgiving weekend for well over asking. The traffic is ridiculous. Some of the roads were recently widened but the roads are still crowded. Too many impatient drivers acting like Richard Petty wannabees. No more pickup trucks with Montana mud flaps being driven by cowboys. It's BMW's, Mercedes and Land Rovers. The property taxes in Gallatin County have gone up so fast in recent years. I had a couple of acres with no covenants, with a comfortable home, not a McMansion that are going up all over the valley. I am so happy to get out of the Gallatin Valley and the Bozeman area. I do have a lot of great memories from the and a lot of good friends, but am so happy to be back into s small town that resembles Montana. Bozeman does not. It really breaks my heart to see what has happened to the valley that was once full of farms and ranches now having every square inch of available land being bought up by developers. I never thought I would say it but, ADIOS BOZEMAN.

I understand the point that you're trying to make about all of that federal land, but it's one of the things that makes living out west so great. I was born in the southeast and have either lived or visited 34 states. And the east coast has very little access to public land when compared to the west. Meaning, that there isn't nearly as many places for recreation and enjoying the beauty of this country. Out west, if you feel like going shooting or camping or 4 wheeling you can go onto some BLM land and enjoy yourself. We don't have that luxury on the east coast. Great video.

Hi there - FYI the road between Boise & McCall has been/is being widened this year. Hooray! The farming extends west all the way to the Oregon & Washington borders . The road to the north is certainly not an Interstate. Slow going but beautiful. Two lane roads through Boise. I cannot imagine what you are recalling. Help me out, please. Boise is not the only city in the Treasure Valley. Meridian is growing much faster than Boise as is Nampa, Kuna, Star, Eagle, Middleton, & Emmett. Canyon County is our nextdoor neighbor and their growth & home prices are growing as rapidly as Ada County. Boise is a politically left. That appeals to many and repels others. The Mayor is extremely left as evidenced by her policies and the causes & organizations she supports. Again, appealing & repelling. Conservatives are not at all supportive of her or her administration.

Federal Land equals public lands though. Trust me, coming from Texas where there is little to zero public lands, it’s a great thing

Idaho has a sales tax, Montana doesn't. Boise the average home is $400 to $600k , Montana is a tad cheaper depending on locale Bozeman homes are around $250 to 400k , Missoula is about the same. But other Montana cities are cheaper for homes at $200k.

You said Idaho has approx 20 million acres available for living with a population of 1.4 million. South Carolina has a little less land (19.7 m) with over 3 times the population - 5.3 million.

Interesting that the average price of a home in Bozeman is double that in Billings...even though Billings has a higher median income. Obviously Bozeman has some sort of supply constraint on available land compared to Billings? Construction costs shouldn't be that different. Additionally, given the average income of $46k in Bozeman...an "average" person living in Bozeman can't actually afford to buy a median priced home there. If you follow the rule of thumb to not spend more than 28% of your income on housing, you'd not only need approximately $90k for down payment to purchase a home for $450k, you'd also need at bare minimum $65k in income...and that would really be pushing it IMO.

It's a college and basically ski town and part of the Gallitan area. Just up the Gallitan canyon heading up to west Yellowstone is the millionaire club, an exclusive resort club for the ultra rich, the annual membership costs millions of dollars. Its like a super exclusive golf club but for skiing. Im pretty sure it has a golf course too though. Ironically its been bankrupt a few times. However, is also part of the Bozeman play ground as is the river in the canyon (a world class blue ribbon trout fishery). Housing is highly costly and much is also rented and owned by people who don't actually live there normally (vacation homes of the very wealthy.) Undeveloped land is held by wealthy ranches and not regularly developed. It's like park city. The working class there and students rent. Some commute. Business owners and rich own. And there are some big outdoor brands home based there. Many moving or buying homes there previously lived elsewhere (like California) and so coming up with hundreds of thousands for a down-payment is an equity cinch after they sell their Cali home if they aren't able to buy the home in Bozeman outright after leaving Cali. Even if they need to work. They bring in a half mill cash from selling their Cali home, they only need a mortgage for 100k or 2 to buy a 6-700k house. Which is only going to be about 1k a month at abt 5% interest. You can get that with a $35k income. For first time home buyers, your estimates are correct. But people buying in Bozeman aren't likely 1st time home buyers, especially if they're moving in from Cali.

supply and demand are well tested laws of economics. Ca has some of the highest prices in real estate. Ex., my wife and I bought a home in 2015 for $760,000- a 1965 sq. ft home built in ‘76, located along the foothills of the San Gabriel Mtns. I grew up here from 1954 on and lived through the golden era ‘50’s-‘60’s before it was ruined by overpopulation, stupid public policy, and unbridled immigration. We thought of moving out but where to go??? We’ll stay I’m sure but still we’re envious of a less populated state…And silly leftists.
