Pros and Cons of Living in Emmett Idaho

[@JEU4328]

Their cons are definitely pros for me. It sounds like an ideal location. Thank you for sharing.

[@livinginidaho]

Glad it was helpful. What has you watching?

[@daveaway]

Great follow up interview. I'm from Nor Cal. People get conditioned to the fast pace / everything at there their fingertips type of lifestyle in California. LIke it or not, you have to condition yourself to your new environment in whatever state or country you move too. I'm glad you did this interview because its a cautionary tale to rent for one year in the location you think you want to live in. Not everything that glitters is gold.

[@livinginidaho]

So true. It’s not easy moving and takes time to get use to a new area and rhythms.

[@volocty]

Excellent comment!

[@lesterthomason2458]

Yes to Emmett! I am retired. No need to "drive the hill" daily. Research on the "Highland" subdivision Community! Nice! When i win the lottery, i am packing!😉😊👍 Great informative video. Wishing the couple the best!

[@livinginidaho]

Emmett is great for the right people. I’m a huge fan of the highlands, I love the mid century homes.

[@volocty]

Great video of an honest experience from a relocating family. More of these interview videos might help someone sit back and think a bit more on moving or just considering relocation. 👍

[@livinginidaho]

Yep… that’s the goal. Better to learn this from a KZbin video then having to learn it yourself by going through the process. Relocating isn’t easy.

[@Momcavefoods]

This is so helpful I am loving your videos, I'll be in touch soon plan to visit next month

[@Gothrules4]

Fantastic interview! Appreciate the minimal editing & their honest responses.

[@GeorgeMihaly]

Great interview Craig

[@livinginidaho]

Thanks George

[@Honeybee-ym5vi]

Sounds so perfect!! Retired. Go to Costco every other month. I believe your sheriff is also constitutional...or maybe you simply have that tradition. That will be an important factor for me. Moving next year. The "problem" with Emmet sounds like everyone loves it and isn't moving. I don't need a big home. Just me. Will rent first. Was glad to read in the comments you help with rentals. May be looking you up next year. Thanks for the video!

[@jedwin4816]

Excellent video. With the river running through the town and a big lake near by- has Emmett ever been flooded out or is that a problem?

[@livinginidaho]

Emmett’s got the Payette River and a reservoir upstream, so it’s set up to handle water pretty well. There might be some minor runoff from time to time, but as far as I know, the town hasn’t had any major flooding issues.

[@apticity]

It's never flooded as long as I lived here

[@mike1340hd]

We just purchased in Emmet in the Picket Coral Development. I hope I love it there. We are semi retired. So we’ll see how it goes.

[@nikki2961]

Great video, but are they moving back to California? Either it wasn’t mentioned or I missed it. thanks for doing these videos.

[@livinginidaho]

They are moving over the hill closer to eagle and Meridian so they don’t have to make the commute. He did mention it towards the end of the video. Where are you watching from?

[@denisehill1215]

Ungrateful Californians need to go back home

[@WildBlueDiscovery]

Good video!

[@livinginidaho]

Glad you enjoyed it. Where are you watching from?

[@WildBlueDiscovery]

@livinginidaho ...presently away in Florida. But normally watching your content from Western PA.

[@livinginidaho]

@WildBlueDiscovery last time we were in PA my wife and I stayed with a lovely Amish family.

[@jollyroger7048]

Hi, I have a small family, Wife, daughter and potentially a father in-law that are looking at moving to Idaho from Palm Springs CA. We are specifically looking at Fruit land Idaho due to it bordering Oregon. I am originally from Beaverton Oregon and my wife and her family is originally from Palm Springs. We are looking to visit Boise and fruit land this winter so we can see what's it like. If you have any insight on fruit land your feedback would be great! God Bless you!

[@livinginidaho]

I would love to help. You can give me a call [phone] My contact info is also in the description of the video.

[@waynobots]

Why did the kids go to school in Garden City?

[@livinginidaho]

there is a private school in Garden City they wanted their kids to be apart

[@carljohnson8259]

@@livinginidaho That's a problem. They are making a commuting nightmare when there is typically no commute here, unless its Nampa to downtown Boise.

[@terryarndt6761]

Looks good for retirees

[@irenepeacedove]

We are looking to move to Emmett in late May early June and want to rent first! Is this something you can help with 🥰

[@livinginidaho]

Yes, we help a lot of couples as they move who rent first then buy. We have some resources we can share with you. Give me a call 208-264-3211

[@livinginidaho]

@@irenepeacedove no worries… talk to you tomorrow

[@kel4461]

California's are hard to please anyway

[@user-ju3ns2cz1u]

when they say northern CA what do they mean? the bay? or red bluff? ....very different, these people just realized they like the city.

[@moa8121]

Would a light rail system have a positive impact in the Treasure Valley area?

[@manuelmach86]

Absolutely not, that brings everything with it

[@jennkneadsu]

I live in Boise/Treasure Valley and I would love to have better public transportation and think a rail line between Nampa/Caldwell to Mountain Home would be great. I actually had a conversation with someone who worked in city planning and development. He offered a realistic perspective stating that collectively the Treasurer Valley was currently around 1 million people. He said it would need to be closer to 2.5 million before the cost of a rail system would be a viable option. Since most people prefer Idaho because it isn’t over populated, I don’t know that we would see a public rail system around here anytime soon.

[@res_ipsa-REX]

@@manuelmach86 Yep... brings everything with it like less air pollution, less vehicle traffic, less road repairs, people having less stress, and increased economic prosperity.

[@JeffreyOConnell-g4x]

This might be stating the obvious, but Emmett is extremely conservative politically, even by the standards of Idaho. It's also very homogeneous. If the couple you were interviewing was black, brown and/or gay, they might not be rhapsodizing about the friendliness of their neighbors. But most people considering a move there are probably looking for like-minded folks. Also, they are improving access to Emmett with some new-road construction, so it'll be easier to get to and from the Treasure Valley.

[@percivalgooglyeyes6178]

I'm moving to Idaho, or maybe Texas, as soon as I serve out my probation in CA. Want a place with lower crime.

[@MTNVIWS]

Less crime on probation. Hahahaha

[@res_ipsa-REX]

LOL... you made a me laugh. Thanks

[@stevesworldisnumber1]

And I thought their cons were going to be; "We couldn't get an Abortion every month!" But it's just a bit of driving that inconveniences them, what a bunch of P_ _ _ IES!

[@danettebrogan68]

Noooo Californians!!! I’m a native!!!!

[@user-ju3ns2cz1u]

thats funny and i get it. im from rural northern CA . we say the same thing about people coming up from the bay area and southern ca. but last i checked 75% plus percent of the CA peeps moving to ID are red voters and dont want to change anything but support whats there. pretty sure it would be trending purple without them. none of this may matter to you though. have a great day and good luck with your day.

[@mzm4574]

Most outrageously racist place I have ever lived. Mid 70s still had a what the hell sundown law. Bible in one hand Lord knows what they have in the other.

[@renaeracey2599]

What is the political climate for liberals?

[@livinginidaho]

Idaho tends to lean conservative, especially in places like Emmett. But when you ask about the scene for liberals, can you specify a bit? Like, are you thinking about policies, social vibes, or local groups? Helps me give a clearer answer. Thanks

[@cwalton56]

Stay in California

[@bluerfoot]

If you don't bring your destruction to the residents of Idaho and they promise not do anything to try to fix California would that be a fair deal?

[@MTNVIWS]

Stay in California. No one wants your crap views.

[@stringfellowbalk2654]

Stay out.

As long as you don’t bring your voting habits.
