I live in Oregon and absolutely love it. We have a lot of transplants here as well. We have lots more traffic than we used to, and it’s quite expensive too. There is talk about us joining Idaho, and while Idaho is beautiful it’s not Oregon. I don’t want to live in Idaho so I’m hoping it doesn’t pass. I think instead of leaving your home you should stay and fight for changes to be made. Why take your bs with you and make other people suffer?

Unless you’re coming from a place like LA, or a Portland or a Seattle I think that living here will be a bit of a struggle financially for most people. I’ve also noticed that a lot of people moving from out of state bring their jobs/salaries with them, often times making a lot more money than those forced to find employment locally. It’s interesting that Idaho’s largest employer which is the State of Idaho has a vacancy rate of nearly 15% and a turnover rate of 22%, both figures of which have only grown despite the massive population growth. In other words, everyone wants to live here but absolutely nobody wants to work here. I was a State Trooper in Idaho and my wife worked for the State of Idaho as a Financial Specialist and combined we made about $102K/year (pre-tax). With a couple of kids, daycare costs, and a median home price in Ada County of about 1/2 million it was a struggle to say the least.
@james546025 күн бұрын
Same thing in Colorado outside of Denver. Sure, very liveable, but not if you need to find local employment without special skills. You need to essentially bring your job with you or you are hosed.

The concern with people is not that you moved for cheaper living but if you plan to vote the same way California votes. Idaho does not want people to come benefit from more conservative policies just come and vote in the same garbage they did in California. Now if you are coming to escape it ane you embrace the more conservatice life then welcome. But if not then I do not see it as a positive. Excuse my brashness but I hate seeing liberals go to states that do not share their views and try to impliment the same junk in them that made them want to move out of those liberal states.

Hold the phone! I grew up in mostly northern California from 6th grade into college years and outdoor activities are some of my fondest memories. Tubing down the American River in Sacramento, backpacking in Desolation Wilderness up in the Sierra's. Snow Skiing in the Sierra's in winter. I learned to scuba dive in Monterey. I kind of always thought of California as at least two different states, Southern California and Northern California. Of course the cost of living in northern California has good way up. My parents bout a 2100 sq ft two story home in Davis, just west of Sacramento in 1971 for $36k (crazy isn't it?) They sold it in 1984 for around $150k. Last time I checked it was over 1 million! Crazy. They moved first to Dallas Texas, then Worchester MA, and finally northern Virginia where they bought a 3k sq ft house in 1993 for $445k That house is now valued at about $1.2m. Anyway, as much as I have fond memories of northern California, I would ot be able to afford to live there. I live presently in northern Virginia out west of Manassas VA in a home purchased for $299k in late 2017. Putting sweat equity into it.

I moved from California to North Idaho 37 years ago and never looked back. I live in waterfront splendor just outside a small mountain-lake resort town that is beautiful, tranquil, uncrowded, safe, clean, friendly, and a year-round recreational paradise. The area isn't for everyone, but for me, it's utopia. Full disclosure: while I lived in California for 30 years, my family is on its sixth generation in North Idaho.

How has the climate difference from CA been for you and your family? The snow/cold/short days/less sunshine in winter is a big change. We moved 8 yrs ago from a southern state to CO. One of our reasons to move was to get away from the excessive heat. I was 50 and my husband was 56. Two daughters moved with us. It’s hard to make a big change at the age we were then.

The short days can be tough as winter wears on but we adjust our lifestyle to maximize outdoor sunshine activities when we can!!! Many of my clients are retired and making the big move and it can be a blessing and a curse. Excited for new adventure but hard to leave friends and family. Moving at any age is rough.
