Is driving dangerous during an inversion ?
It can be colder weather when there's an inversion, so I guess there's a higher chance of ice on the road. But other than that it's not significantly more dangerous.
This is awesome - we love old cars too! It was a really sad day when we had to say goodbye to our 07 Sienna, got her to to 231k miles and she was done.
Love it! :)
Okay, when Trump becomes president, I expect the cost of living to plummet by, say, 20% in the 4 years he will be in office. I'm gonna follow your logic and I'm gonna hold you to it, ok?
Most people don't live the austere life that you live, Benj. I applaud you for cutting your expenses, but the total cost will be a lot higher for most people. I always hear how taxes are low in Idaho, but nobody ever talks about how there's a sales tax on food. One positive thing you can say about California is that it does not have a food sales tax. Overall, it's pretty clear that it's a little less expensive to live in Idaho. 👍👍👍
Be accurate in your information. The inflation has taken time to come down just the same way that it took time to go up. Joe Biden inherited a RISING inflation rate because of the insane amount of money Trump’s administration injected into the economy during the pandemic. Additionally, it was Congress who voted to give so much money as pandemic relief. Were they pressured by Trump? Yes. They still chose to do that. Biden’s admin had nothing to do with this.
Wow Benj, you are an inspiration to us! I love your frugalness and how you budget! Even though inflation has gone through the roof (yes, all due to Biden!), I think you are spending way less than the average American, even those with much smaller families! Yet you and your family still enjoy life! Coming from CA, we’re already finding living expenses much cheaper here. No regrets on our decision to move here (and choosing you as our realtor!) 😊Our goal now is to live simpler and have no mortgage in a couple of months. We couldn’t do that while living in CA. Thanks for this video! More people should live by your example! We’re certainly going to try! God bless you!
Thanks Cindy! Glad you’re enjoying life here in Idaho-makes me happy. ❤😊
Very helpful Benj, thanks 👍
Glad it was helpful!😊
Man, I think you're probably getting by for less than my mom living on her own in Weiser, ID. Definitely less that my own family in SW Austin where electric and trash can run north of $250 a month during the summer.
Wow! I feel good about $78/month now! 😊
Benj, good video brotha- thats pretty close to what our household expense is here in Vegas!
Damn what part of Vegas are you in? His utilities are like 95% cheaper than mine.
Nice! Hope you’re staying cool!!😊
LOL - I love how you put the Minidoka guard tower as a comparison
This is NIMBY to the extreme. California has tons of BLM land. (signed and donated petition)
Yay, thank you!
This is a tough one for western states. The Feds control most of the land. California, I remember political ads in the 80s on feds trying to send water rights to CA from Idaho. Not sure how that worked, but it was a thing. The reason this is a thing is California has overwhelming influence over federal policy. edit: you covered the water thing! Guess they're still at it.
Yes, it’s a problem!! The federal government shouldn’t have a right to dictate how we use our water.
Thanks for highlighting and explaining these issues, Benj. Petition signed.
Much appreciated! Thank you!
Thanks for the video. We are looking for a cooler state to live in but dont want to be in negative degree weather!
Glad it was helpful!
Whenever they try to put these "green" projects in the blue states, nobody wants them in their state. The worst part is that California is doing this because they often are prevented from building anything due to environmental lawsuits. We have a bunch of these wind turbines not too far from where we live and most of the time they're not turning to produce power. It's unreliable power and insufficient to meet the needs of an industrial society.
It's often said here in CA (and probably other places as well) that whiskey is for drinking and water is for fighting. Another great video by the way but I'd like to elaborate on one point you made: It was DEMOCRAT President Franklin D. Roosevelt that signed Ex order 9066 to round up and incarcerate in the neighborhood of 120,000 Japanese Americans in 1942. Esto Perpetua!
Horrible idea!!! CA created their own problems and they get no sympathy from me! That’s why we don’t live there anymore!! Keep the government out of beautiful Idaho! We’ll sign that petition!
Yay, I knew I could count on you! 😎
👉 Petition to stop Lava Ridge: www.change.org/p/stop-the-lava-ridge-wind-turbine-project
Does a person have to be a resident of Idaho to sign the petition? I'm a person who wants to move to (somewhere in) the Treasure Valley in the future, and the way the Feds are practically becoming communistic, I HATE them acting as if they own everything.
Boysee and Boyzee are so insignificant, I struggle with why it is a thing. Mtn, Home, Boise, Garden City, currently in Meridian. Call it an even 40 years combined +change. I've heard my closest friends say it both ways and they are from here as well. When the topic comes up, I have to read a sentence or two just to hear it naturally... I'm positive I use Boysee significantly more than I might er Boyzee with a beer or two, or it might even be determined by how many fish I'm catching. Ultimately it's Tomato~Tomato, but saying someone isn't from here because they say it a certain way is reliably inaccurate.
Where would you suggest to go on Fourth of July with my family?
I think you’d joule go where I’m going to go! 😎💪
Sandy Point was always our favorite. That large pond is not all that deep either maybe 4ft? And yes, we do remember that fountain being cold!
Yeah that’s right. It’s only about 4-5 ft deep in the middle. Really kid friendly!
A lot of chatter about water issues in Boise/ID, what's the real story?
The basic gist is it’s a water rights argument in the eastern part of the state. Idaho water rights are given by order of time (ie who gets the water rights first), not based on where the water physically runs. So some farmers downstream got water rights before others who are upstream, so that’s been causing problems with who can use the water.
Working with both of you was amazing. Everything went so smoothly. If you need a Realtor and Lender, I highly recommend both Benj and Jaxon!
Thanks Wes-it’s been great working with you too!!
It's like noise with a B. So it's pronounced boyz.
Always love your videos, Benj! So much good information!
Interesting stuff! I’m sure the low ranking for air quality is due to the inversions we get through Dec-Feb which have to muddy up our scores overall. The rest of the year it seems evident that our air quality is above average.
Good point about the inversion--that's totally why we got hit on that! I totally spaced it--the beautiful spring weather made me forget about the dreary winter weather. :)
Thank you for the update, Benj. The desirable market where I live is hot. We've been working to fix our home up for market, but I just saw a home around the corner from us that needs a lot of work sell in 2 weeks, and they got asking price! Wow! That suggests to me that I can sell our home without going too crazy on fixing things up. Our home is still in good shape with a number of recent critical system upgrades. Prices are up in our area as well. The spring bump is always a good time to feel better about the real estate market. As the year wears on and economic conditions continue to pose challenges, we'll see cooling and likely price decreases. As you say, nobody really knows what's going to happen, but it's not looking too good to me. More will need to be ironed out in our economy, so crises can erupt at any time. It won't deter us from making our move to the TV.
Hope it was helpful! I agree that more needs to be ironed out in our economy, we're not there yet. I imagine it's going to be a bit of a bumpy road for a little while until inflation comes down some more. It's already come down from 9.1% to 3.5%(ish), so to me that says we're trending in the right direction.
Excellent information just when we need it, Benj! Thanks to Steve who actually called us while watching this video! It’s great to be working with both you and and Steve!
Why does everyone have to include their pets in every interview? I have 2 dogs but I never forget they’re “Dogs” and not an actual child. Jeeze come on now.
I lived in Gooding Idaho after we moved from Oregon for my 3rd grade to 5th grade years until we moved to Virginia, & I can tell you from personal experience that no one there every pronounced Boise with a Z.. #SMH!! 🙄
Im a few years late but i agree with every thing he did exept the school thing but im biased on that
Spitting facts my friend! Liking it!!
Hello, my son live in Boise, I live in Hawaii, I thinking on buying a house in Boise for retirement, can I buy a house even if I don't live there?
I heard it's pronounced Bwah
Beautiful! יופי תופי!
Santa Barbara right there in the beginning of video!
Feds will drop the interest rates in October trying to help someone into the Whitehouse..
No matter where they're from, people ask me about my gutter chain. It might be a Boise thing.
I can vouch for rent inflation as an owner. The HOA increased fees due to insurance to cover increased property value and I had to pass that on to the tenant unfortunately. I think insurance inflation is the silent killer here regarding housing.
Always great info, Benj! 👍🏻
Thanks Cindy--hope it was helpful! :)
I’m so glad to hear that inflation has gone down….. meanwhile my wallet at the grocery store says the prices are only skyrocketing. I know the government doesn’t factor in actual costs of living to determine the inflation rate.. but nothing in my world is stabilizing.
Yes, totally feel your pain. We still have a little ways to go, but the good news is we've made some steps in the right direction. :)
I was born in Boise in the forties - I say Boi-see
wow, just think what Idaho will be in 5 years after all the liberals have moved there.
I enjoy your videos where you talk about details of homes like crawl spaces and siding. I'm in Austin which is like California but frequently visit family in Idaho. The pace there is slower/more relaxed. I love the airport in Boise, it's SO much easier to navigate than other airports, especially Austin Bergstrum down here. When I leave, fill up at the gas station, drive to return rental, go through security all in 15 min on a good day.
Thanks for the comment--glad you liked the video! Yes, the airport is usually really easy to navigate. :)

Cannot understand why liberal democrats would move here from a state where they voted for the bs that ruined the state they came from? They certainly don’t fit in here! Conservative American Values are why this state is one of if not the best! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’m buying a Hubble home that has a 20% rental limit. Little worried in case I need to rent my home in the future.
This is an interesting service. I like the idea that it's local to the TV. When we move, I'm thinking that we may do a combination of a mobile storage unit like this and then have movers load our big items in a separate truck for delivery. Are there any limitations on what can be transported in one of these boxes? Could someone move antiques and collectibles in a box like this and how would that work as far as insurance goes?
I asked him your questions and here’s his response: Containers hold 8000 pounds. The only restrictions are hazardous substances such as gasoline, etc. we regularly move fragile materials without issue as long as they are packed properly. We certainly hold insurance for the unlikely event that something is damaged due to a defect in the container, etc.
Okay, thanks for checking, Benj. I have more questions, but I'll direct them to Units when the time is right. I don't want to clutter your channel with a bunch of stuff. Have a good day, sir. 👍👍👍@@BenjForeman
