Another lame clickbait heading in the thumbnail. A realtor who loves Boise and wants you to move too.

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Sorry If I may have wasted your time today.

[@gundriver6439]

Hey to say it, but Idahoans HATE seeing California plates in their state. Absolutely hate it.

[@kimberlylay1005]

So do Texans

[@BehindTheScreenz]

I think that's everywhere, including oregon

[@toddryan0108]

Get over it. Hahahahaha

[@livinginidaho]

People might need to rethink the things they’re getting mad over.

[@neutrino78x]

do they hate it in Boise? It appears to be a blue area

[@ajsullyvincennes]

Just don't screw up the rest of the country. Vote for people who support your freedom and money retention

[@livinginidaho]

Agree.

[@jeannie4cc]

Though there is sales tax in both CA and ID, ID has sales tax on everything, including food...CA does not tax food. FYI

[@livinginidaho]

[@sherigrow6480]

You get a grocery credit every year on your Idaho Income Tax. Idaho also does not tax Social Security,

You’ll be fine. What has you visiting the area?

[@shaggybreeks]

CalifornIAN plates? And how CalifornIAN were your plates? Not CalifornISH, but CalifornIAN... HAHA!!!

[@BabsLongfellow]

We're refugees from Portland too (Lake Oswego) as of 3 years. We LOVE it here! (in Hidden Springs). Property tax is literally 75% less for a larger home/more property w/views. We love the SUN! Enjoy your channel.

[@livinginidaho]

Thanks for watching. Hidden springs is a great community

[@a1kid]

Was born, raised, and lived my entire life in CA (mostly Bay Area) until 2018. Moved the family to Boise (SW, near Meridian). Love it. People are very nice and respectful of each other here. Prices are high(er), but things are changing quickly nationally and I expect good things in the future. Politically, Idaho is obviously a conservative state and people respect other people here. While you will see plenty of American flags and Trump stickers you will also see cars with the "Coexist" and Biden/Harris/etc. stickers as well...and they don't get keyed or attacked! Yes, Boise has been saddled with an extreme Leftist Mayor for a few years now, but she has been unable to go too far with her Leftist crazy because Ada County is 2/3 Republicans (how Dems get elected here is still a mystery to me...). I suspect that this too will change in the future. Yes, we have all four seasons here. Winters can get pretty cold and snowy (rarely snowy enough to be a problem though), and it gets up over 100 in July August. You may occasionally see a person with a gun on their hip (I wish I'd see more). IT'S OK! DON'T PANIC! Open/CC is 100% legal here and there are no shoot outs at high noon. Idaho is full of hard working, family people of faith. It's a great place to have a family and raise your kids. You couldn't pay me enough to move back to, what once was, the 'Great' state of California.

I have heard that allot about couples getting divorced after moving to idaho. It's terrible!

[@livinginidaho]

@JonniArmani this connection may be a bit of a stretch 🤔

[@livinginidaho]

@@JonniArmani alright, let's see someone make the connection.

[@livinginidaho]

@JonniArmani how many people do you know in Idaho?

[@livinginidaho]

@@JonniArmani one thing to think about... Causation means one thing causes another-in other words, action A causes outcome B. On the other hand, correlation is simply a relationship where action A relates to action B-but one event doesn't necessarily cause the other event to happen.

Quality of life and low crime in California. lol. Sure.

[@livinginidaho]

[@RonnieFox-sr8dx]

It's the number 1 most boring state, according to stats. With crappy weather (not cold enough if you like winter for treasure valley and so hot in the summer- hvac goes on 24/7). Sure you may be able to buy a home, but it's crowded now. Taxes are about the same from oregon to idaho, depending on your income. If you are on the poverty level, Oregon will give you benefits and if you make $$$ the taxes even out from oregon to idaho. Yes, utilities are cheaper in idaho bc you need an HVAC for all year long.

[@livinginidaho]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts... looks like Idaho wouldn't be a good fit for you.

Idaho libertarians: "It's a free country. If I can afford it, I should be able to buy it." Also Idaho libertarians: "Stop moving here with your money and driving up our property costs. It's not fair 😭". 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡

[@dbs555]

Um, visit Idaho well before committing to moving there. Look at the history of each place carefully because it definitely is not a California experience. The political lean may make some think twice about moving to quite a few of the areas, even around Boise.

[@plzdontshootmydog6256]

If you’re trying to turn Idaho blue, just stay in California. You’ve already ruined one state, don’t try to ruin ours too. There is a reason Idaho is still nice and California isn’t.

[@kevinkakadelas6592]

Treasure valley has a lot of people and traffic.

Not compared to other places but it does have more than it use to.

Boise is a great place to live (prices have gotten a bit out of control though). Lived there for three years currently in Bentonville AR...which is also a fantastic place to live. Grew up in Long Beach CA...never going back.

[@angelinagutierrez909]

I live in California; idk why you’d share all the wonderful reasons why CA residents would want to move to ID! If I were you, I’d say all the reasons why they shouldn’t move to ID! With a huge CA influx, politics will probably change & not for the better(hence look at how the majority of CA votes!) my advice to you, deter CA & any other blue upside down state to move to ID unless you want to ruin it. Kidding not kidding!

[@kungfuquaker1]

Californians have been moving here since the 70s. They have already changed our politics and our culture because most are conservatives who moved from a liberal state. We used to be much more bipartisan. Now the state legislature is controlled by people who want to ban everything from books to abortion.

[@RAS_Squints]

The only thing California dosn't tax that Idaho does ironicly is winning the lotto. You don't have to pay state taxes, but still federal

[@livinginidaho]

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing

[@havable]

When they libertarians took over Idaho they promised us that they would lower our taxes. Instead, they chained women to beds and gave Special Rights to rapists. I wish Orange County would go the fuck back to California. Idaho was a blue state until OC moved here in the 80s. They run this state like a theocracy. So much for "libertarian." Its all just a ruse. They're as right-wing christo-fascist as any maga republican.

[@TheDigitalNikki]

I would like to see similar videos, but for other cities in Idaho. I'm not sure how Boise compares to say Preston for example.

[@livinginidaho]

Thanks for the idea. What are you looking for in a city?

[@whoshoe537]

It's "median" home price, not "medium" home price. They mean essentially the same thing, but are not synonymous.

[@livinginidaho]

Yah, I meant median. 🙏 thanks

[@LTRegulate]

Top state income tax rate in Idaho is 6.00% in 2023 and 5.8 % in 2024, not 6.95% as depicted in the video.

[@livinginidaho]

Thanks for that catch, you are correct and yes, now it's down to 5.80% Thanks for watching

[@johnpalacios5914]

Hi Craig. How hard is it to buy a home over there in Idaho for a primary residence if I already own a home in the Bay Area as my residence and a rental in Nevada? Thanks!

[@livinginidaho]

John, great question... it all depends on your scenario. If you'd like I can connect you with a good lendor here who you can hop on a call with.... would that help? Shoot me a text and I can connect you guys. [phone]

[@frankthewriter5937]

Earth to real estate agents: there is more to living somewhere than cost: take Idaho for example: proliferating right-wing militias, freaky Mormon cults, no abortion, and Republican dominance…who cares if people look you in the eye iand smile with all these facts…you might be a bit more forthcoming

[@livinginidaho]

Appreciate you watching the video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I make lots of video about Idaho and talk about lots of different things.

Southern California is a nice place to live if you are super wealthy and live within 5 miles of the beach. San Diego was a chill place only 10-15 years ago, not anymore. Tahoe, shit snow, crazy prices now. The rest of California is just OK and crazy expensive. Taxes on everything, car emissions that can totally screw you, big crackdowns of use of public lands, off road use, no 2 stroke moto's etc. Idaho, over rated but really cool for land use. A lot of racist, no joke! Washington and Oregon, super expensive as well. Bottom line is it is hard to find a good place to live in the US now that is affordable.
