Just moved to Idaho from California. We lived in Brentwood near Concord and i drove in to San Francisco every day for work. We moved to Idaho Falls and absolutely love it! No mor 4hrs on the road to work an 8hr shift. People are nice, cost of living means i get to retire at 55 not 60. My wife is having so much fun and she has her high school friends who live here. The best choice we ever made! Starting my own knife business after being on forged in fire. Time to have some fun.
I live in the bay are I spend about 15 hours a week commuting. I’m on verge of leaving but I have a business that I can’t leave behind for now but soon enough I get partners up to speed I’m start looking
My great great grandfather settled here in Idaho from Sweden when Idaho was in its infancy and made a ranch here that still stands and works to this day. And is in the family. Got passed to his son then to the next son and the next and the next till my grandpa inherited it who was drafted to the military during the Korean War he was a corporal and soon he was honorably discharged due to his wounds in active combat and spent the next 80 years of his life on the ranch and farm. A wife and nine kids. My family is bound to Idaho and no doubt will always be bound to Idaho for life. I’m just a greatful grandson who is glad for Idaho and it’s people. It’s a beautiful state with beautiful sights and in my opinion is a state seemingly more untouched by the volatile political climate at least in rural Idaho. Those who come here no matter who you are will always be treated with kindness and care and respect. That I can guarantee. We keep to ourselves in the best way. We love our neighbors and are always courteous and kind at least in my experience growing up here and before anyone asks it’s not racist here. I’m black and have always been treated with kindness and love and yes even by the police. The police here are also of good stock and have good hearts. With respect to all from me - A Simple US Army Engineer Idaho Native.
@@WisdomofHal You mistake me for someone who cares about your opinion on RUclips comments I gave my initial comment because of my love for the state and where I grew up in. Nothing more. Me being half black and half white is irrelevant. And your opinion means nothing to me. Do better.
Very appealing. I'm sitting here in San Jose, CA paying sky high taxes for failing schools, open air drug markets (excuse me, "tent encampments"), and rampant crime. You NEVER see kids playing on the street and we live in a nice area. Neighbors (even ones with kids the same age) don't wave or say hi. My neighbor moved to Idaho last year and so did his two sons with their families.
No offense, but this is nice couple who are trying to justify their move, and not sounding very convincing. This is staged promo by a realtor who sees the boom ending. Boise is boring, it's dry, and the winters are very cold. Traffic in Boise is now HORRIBLE. No, trust me, you're not going fishing, hunting, hiking everyday just because you moved to Boise, you'll do what you did before you moved there. I have a sister who lives in Boise and hear her complaints all the time. I live in California and heard that my retired neighbor is leaving Boise and moving BACK to California.
@@GoIdaho Let's examine the truth pal. Yes you get freedom to make money but that comes with a cost. The truth is that traffic is terrible and the infrastructure soon will not be able to tolerate the influx of people. What happens when many people are concentrated in one spot? Crime, traffic, pollution, prices all go up. Let me tell you what else happens, people start voting for social programs to support that population growth and low income people that have been priced out of the market. In essence it becomes Cali all over again while people like you probably make enough to have houses in two different states. You're a minority. I am going to vote on no more development, meeting is on Monday. Corey Barton Homes circling my small town like a vulture and the Mayor who have never dealt with million dollar budgets probably sees dollar bills. Yeah its not gunna happen. Everytime a new house is going to be shown we have vowed to go by it with our guns slung over our shoulders wearing overalls like dumb rednecks, open carry is great. Especially when white people see Hispanic people doing open carry, the confusion is too funny!!! One other fact is that Micron Technology, the largest private employer in the Valley is extremely progressive. Sanjay is as left leaning as it gets and he is changing the culture of the valley which is for the better if your left leaning but if you're a right leaning California or Oregon retired refugee your highly paid young neighbors are likely to be Democrats.
Trust me… everyone is still thinking it “go away california” My wife and I are 5th generation Idaho natives and we can’t even afford a house!! It’s cheaper for everyone else NOT FROM HERE!!! Good hell!!! So glad that we are your cheap paradise… Us locals can’t stand the growth… so good for you guys, but terrible for locals!!!!!
Funny enough, the exact same thing is happening to us in CA...so we're planning a move there. We are looking for an inexpensive place so we can actually have some mortgage relief. If there are any ways, (aside from not moving there) to off-set the burden on locals, please let me know.
New Yorkers are moving into Cali and ruining all that was beautiful. Californians are moving to Idaho and ruining all that is beautiful. Why do city people drive through the country, love the open spaces, farm and ranch lands, absorb the peace and quiet…. Then buy property and complain about the farms and ranches until they get them shut down.
Please PRAY for our family to try to move to Idaho! I would ask for God's blessing on our family. We are having so much trouble getting out of California! It seems like we are being "blocked" so if I could ask for blessings and prayers that our family can GET OUT of where we are personally (here in San Diego) and find more CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS who connect with the family values that I was born and raised with. I cannot find anyone left in my area who shares my personal beliefs in God and Country! 🦅 (I tried to add an American flag emoji to this post and it is not there. Anything American symbol emojis are just not there!)
I'm in Washington and disgusted with the oppresive nanny State laws. They are more worried about gun owners who mind their own business, than the insane homeless problem and crime. It is irritating when people leave a blue State and try to change a red State.
I'm here as well and looking for a way out in retirement. It isn't safe even in the smaller towns/cities. Crime is out of control in areas that were insanely safe just 3 years ago.
Buddy there will always be crime everywhere u go … no matter what state ….. just probably low because there only 1.9 million people in the state that’s but is almost going 2m sooo expect the state to grow and it won’t be same anymore
Sometimes Idaho is not for everyone… that’s me I been here for 4 years seen Boise seen and other parts Idaho I just miss my family and beaches and the beautiful environment and entertainment and everything that brings colors and culture and California Temecula is my home going back the end of year 2024 I l 💕💜😍
I'm an ex Californian who moved to Idaho via Oklahoma. I visited many places and actually lived in Jenks Oklahoma for 6 months. My daughter moved here to Meridian Idaho and I then followed her. Best decision, ever. This place is clean and feels safe. I had an Amazon package on my front doorstep for 1 week without it being stolen. In Oklahoma it would have been stolen within an hour. It's funny about the DMV. The DMV in California AND oklahoma are a living hell experience. Looking forward to Idaho's DMV, haha. Getting utilities set up was a snap. The clerks answer the phones and are polite. My internet provider actually cares about doing a good job for their customers. Wow, I have to pinch myself.
I lived near 36th; and state street in Boise on Pinehurst dr for almost three months in 2000. I rented a room from the home owner for $300 a month; and I definitely enjoyed living in Boise; I had a job from one of those temp employment agencies working in the HP facility for an environmental company helping to recycle cardboard boxes; and scrap metal parts from the hardware of computers; and fax machines. The car that; I bought from an irresponsible motorist was having mechanical problems so; I left Boise to return to the race tracks in Kentucky where; I live rent free. I liked living in Boise but; I felt that I had to leave because of my problem vehicle. I had no problem getting an Idaho driver’s license; and plates; and tags. My opinion of Boise is that it’s not the right place for everyone who wants to relocate to.
I moved to Twin Falls from 55 years in Las Vegas Nevada. I have loved every minute of the 3 months of living here. People are kind and friendly and the city is just beautiful. I thank Jesus for allowing me my heart's desire to leave Sin City and live in a city that is so nice.
Hi! I too live in Vegas. I’ve retired and this last summer was a killer.You are stuck inside 5 now going on 6 months with the new intense heat we have. I’m done! It’s a leap but we are outdoor people and we go to Mt. Charleston every week. Getting boring…
Funny, I moved here FROM South Carolina, from Easley to be exact. I now live in Meridian, but I visit family back in SC frequently. Where in SC did you move to?
I am a Californian who went school in Pocatello. Sure being in school is kind of an artificial way of life, still I had no trouble with the transition. What was interesting was how Idaho kind of remains in your heart when you leave. That is the real mark of a place.
We want to move because our state has many people moving here from other states and changing everything we love. They have thousands of people and yes many from California, alot of nature has been removed taxes are higher cost of living sky rocketed and most who lived here can no longer afford to. The area and state is becoming exactly what people who left the other states left them for.
You are right. It is sad how much Boise, Meridian, and Nampa are changing 😔. A lot of people bringing their bad snobe attitude, and lack of respect for traffic. Making the roads very dangerous. We moved to Twin Falls, and is getting crazy here also.
Florida: were full, New york: were full, texas:were full. idaho is no where near full! just visited and its like one city surrounded by nothing else. Try Florida!
I just got an elementary teacher degree and am considering moving from CA to Idaho. Probably the Twin Falls area. They need teachers there and I don't like how districts in CA are racist against Whites (I'm White and have experienced plenty of anti-White racism here in the 12 years I worked in schools in different positions.) I also don't like the districts here pushing trans agenda. CA wants to force a covid mandate to work in schools if the FDA ever approves it (not emergency approval), so I don't like that about CA either. State income tax would be 6% in Idaho, but it is 12% here in CA for a starting teacher's income level.
Did you end of moving to Idaho? I taught in a small town called Buhl my first year of teaching. I'm from Orange County, CA and I missed the weather and diversity.
I was born at Mountain home airbase and my career in the Air Force took me to many states. I retired in California and plan to move back to Idaho or northern Utah. Hope it don’t get too expensive for a master sergeant.
Grew up in California, which was for all things considered, the best state in the country from my perspective having lived there over forty years The features that made California so impressive like the weather, natural beauty, industry, a coastal state with mountains, etc. attracted a rabid multicultural invasion which has in effect destroyed it. San Francisco was one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it can be viewed as an example of everything evil experienced by the rest of the country. Northern Idaho in a lot of ways is how America use to be, and now in my older years is a logical choice because I wasn't raised in a politically correct enviroment.
We had a family move to Kendrick Idaho from Washington state to pastor the AG church there, they love it and have adapted very well. It's a small town and so is mine here in WA in a solid red county surrounded by blue idiots.
We moved 9 years ago to Idaho from Central California. Everything this couple expressed was our experience as well. We built our home to have a large side yard to grow our own garden +fruit trees. Lot's of outdoor activities which we love. Idaho has beautiful landscapes +wildlife. We were trailblazer coming here and get to experience the 4 Seasons.
I'm retiring in February, 2024 after 27 years in law enforcement in Bay Area, CA. I've been to Idaho three times and love it. Some of my already-retired friends live in Meridian/Eagle/Hidden Springs. I hope to move there, too. Eagle is my wish. I can't wait to ditch California.
I think Idaho is a very great place! But I'm leaving because I need to be closer to my daughter! I'm alone here and its best I am closer to one of my kids in the event I need help for medical reasons. I thought it would be closer for me to visit my son in WA but I'm realizing its a little too far. Family is important to me and since my daughter lives in AZ, it will not be as expensive as CA. ( Born in CA but raised in TX. Long story. ) Anyway, as an older person the winters are a little too cold for me. I prefer more warmth year round. But if you like the outdoors, friendly people, low cost of living, and a more rural feel then Idaho is a great option!
Thanks so much for the comment. I completely understand about being closer to family. Family is most important. AZ has some beautiful locations! If you need any help selling your home, please reach out to our team.
“Low cost of living” lmfaooooo Idaho has the fastest growing market in the nation right now, if your moving here be prepared to spend at least half a million. Property taxes alone have doubled this year due to the immense inflation, if you’re going to cda or anywhere downtown be ready to spend 10-15min at each light. Smh ya’ll need to be honest, growth happens, and we are getting hit the hardest.
@@bobbyboi8820 Real Estate has appreciated in Boise and everywhere else over the last two years much faster than wages. I agree! But if you consider all other expenses compared to other metro areas, I found it to be cheaper. Utillities, for example, are much cheaper as is car registration, etc. etc., than say the Phoenix metro area. Look at the property taxes in Texas; very high! But if your focus is on just RE prices alone, then I agree. Additonally, it seems the Boise area needs to focus more on bringing higher paying jobs to its market. Relying solely on CA transplants isn't a good long-term plan. I will add one more issue I observed while in Boise area, that is the infrastructure has not been improved to include all the new housing. But with the extension of hwy 44 and hwy 16, I think will help. It is going to take a while, that's all!
@@bhlibertybhliberty3403 I agree with you to a point. “Compared to other states” is a phase you won’t be able to use when Idaho is rapidly catching up, insurance and utilities have gone up tremendously this year. I already stated property taxes have doubled this year as well. Everyone wants to move here but nobody wants to work when the minimum wage is still $7.25 which is why most businesses are understaffed here and you can’t even get a fast food burger without waiting 25min now. We haven’t even peaked yet and prices are only going higher, prepare your pockets.
@@bobbyboi8820 Boise has been in a bubble with prices skyrocketing (as you know)! This is unsustainable! With the climb of interest rates, the only direction property values can go is down because it will price folks out of the market. The Boise metro area is a beautiful place to live, but I believe you will start to notice a slowdown. Have a great day Bobby!
I would never move to a state like Idaho; too many outsiders moving there & it creates a strange culture of uncertainty. Too much rapid growth is not a good thing. I prefer an older & stable population base as I plan to retire.
I am happy to say we are voting down the applications from developers in our city. The infrastructure cannot take the growth. The new people move into the proposed rental units and our taxes go up, and they could take away our votes and vote in their interests for the city even though they are not permanent residents and have not paid decades of taxes here. I am so glad the interests rates went up to slow the growth.
We moved to Caldwell eight years ago because of the political climate in California. Idaho is not California, and there are a few things we miss, but not the politics. We used to live in coastal Northern California, Arcata, along the coastline, which was very nice. Return to California? NO WAY! Coast of living is much cheaper here in Idaho, although housing prices have doubled and tripled, but we got a great buy on our home! 😊
I lived in. Star for 6 years, I decided to moved back to Northern California, to be closer to my adult Kids. Been here a month and I hate it here. I want to go back to California, I bought my house, and it so expensive here, and people are so rude, I going back hopefully next year. If I make this long. Idaho is my home 🏡 not California 😢
I just can’t bear being here for 5 months of harsh winter and wait for June to go hike or camp, lakes …they don’t even have enough water parks here. It’s mostly outdoors place lakes and mountains and hunting and fish but I’m not hunter or fisher soo thata no for me. I mean traffic is what is is ….. u can’t escape traffic in other states unless Wyoming. Idaho is almost 2m is going grow and which is not going be same anymore so there be traffic now
I normally never comment on videos like this but with the title of this video and my own experiences I HAD TO comment. SO, Jan 2022 I moved from So Cal to Boise. After dozens of videos mind you, lots of research, my daughter and I decided on ID. We arrived in Boise and it was NOT Coeur d'Alene let's just say that. We had to move into an apartment, the WORST I'd ever experienced btw. Terrible management. Took my deposit after I only lived there for 3 months. Gas was $3.87 gal and now July 13th it's $5.23 gal I've never seen so many purple, green, pink, colored hair people - guys looking like women, women looking like guys so essentially it's been referred to as "PORTLAND LIGHT" I almost got hit driving on 2 separate occasions. Unfriendly people, house prices insane for what you get, unless you are in that range of over $500 like the people you interviewed - the idaho sign with the heart in it gave the video away also. I won't even mention my experience at a local motorcycle dealership- that's another story- roads not surfaced, everywhere I go speed is 35 mph on 2-3 lane roads that should easily be 50 very low pay not keeping up with cost of living and govt jobs you would think pay well...nope they are among the worst. Unless you come here with your pocket full of CA equity from and have 2 incomes and at least one over 6 figures your not going to find a nice home here I've been here for 5 months and have not met anyone. Certainly no one waves hi or smiles - My conclusion is, I made the wrong choice, but at the time moving companies charging huge prices to rent moving trucks, it's been a nightmare. BTW, I've never seen any place that house sq ft is under 1000 and they want over $400K for it. Every house I looked at so far needs major updating and almost no pride of ownership, no curb appeal either So, unless you have a lot of money probably gonna have a hard time, Oh- almost forgot...My daughter and I were driving down a road called eagle to the right on a krail I see in 3 ft letters spray painted...CALIFORNIANS SUCK! That has been my experience.
LOL "Portland Light" . Apartments suck. My goal in life is to never live in an apartment ever again. Needles to say, Red States are not happy to see the blue people. I would try North Carolina in your next move.
As a conservative gay man I find your comments kinda pathetic and bitter because I moved here in December 2020 and bought a brand new 4 bedroom home, oh I forgot to say I'm a previous 3rd generation Californian and find Idaho to be like California back in the 60s. Sounds like your bitterness stems from being an unhappy California liberal that in no way would ever adjust to life as a free thinking American, returning to California would be best for you and Idaho
@@optitom9033 he’s complaining about people with colored hair and the place being “Portland Light” and you interpreted that as him being liberal? 😂 He sounds as conservative as you.
@soul2soul399 I am conservative and gay and some of the cities in northern Idaho are pricey but not here in southern Idaho around twin falls, people are friendly I bought a beautiful brand new house 4 bdrm huge lot and with upgrades paid 230k. I read between the lines, which obviously you don't that he misses the nightlife of California and a borderline lib that is never happy.
If you like living in a city that has cold winter months but doesn’t get buried under several inches; or a foot; or two feet of snow from a blizzard then Boise is the perfect city to live in just get use to the traffic congestion during morning; and evening rush hours! If the disgruntled Californian residents can get the time to enjoy the skiing at the ski resorts; and snowmobiling; or ice skating at the rink; or other outdoor activities then they will definitely like living in the Treasure Valley area.
A lot of Idaho natives are happy to hear your complaints. I’m a California native who’s lived off and on in SW Idaho since 1987. Last time I lived back in California was ten years ago.
I have no idea who that is, but having seen my beautiful state, Washington turn from purple to dark blue due to the influx from California transplants is horrifying. This State is in a race to the bottom. Keep idaho as independent for as long as you can.
Also orig from Concord CA, still in the Area. Tired of CA politics, high costs of everything and crime. Looking at home prices now its only slightly lower than our home value. Has prices peaked in Idaho yet?
IM BUYING MY PROPERTY IN NORTH IDAHO THIS SPRING WITH MY DAUGHTER AND HUSBAND WHO ARE ALREADY LIVING IN SAGLE OVER 2 YRS NOW... I WILL LOVE IT THERE THIS IS MY LIFELONG DREAM IM VERY CONSERVATIVE ETC
When you move here make sure you and your spouse are on the same page w the cold, the outdoors, lack of entertainment and religion. Im ok with all those but my wife didn’t…obviously she wants a divorce. She thought it’ll be fun but she ended up hating it.
I love this couple that you interviewed.. I’m have been thinking about moving Idaho for a while now .. I am a RN and I want to buy a house or a condo in Boise because I am looking for a slower pace of life …
There not enough entertainment either….. sometimes we don’t have rv to camp or enjoy the forest …. Tho that’s why is not everyone favorite state … but personally Idaho is most boring place I’m so happy to leave this year to my home California I love culture o love people 💜😊
These folks are way too positive. When they said they like to hear screaming brats on the streets in their front yard, I knew they are still in the novelty phase. Give them another year.
Kids riding their bikes and playing outside are "screaming brats?" Guess you should move. It's part of childhood and personally I would WELCOME the sound of children. It brings back my own childhood, where we actually played outside instead of sitting inside with video games, Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook and all the other social media platforms. Children playing outside also teaches them social skills, communication skills and how to get along with others; you know, things they will never find from inflated, prideful selfish social media platforms.
Who has a problem with kids "riding bikes and playing outside?" Where the eff did you come up with that bs? Hopefully, these people only have kids that ride bikes and have fun, but that is not my case, so bug off. My guess is it is worse than they describe, and will bug the heck out of them after the honeymoon phase wears out. I am talking about the gates of Hell opening all day to the point that it is impossible to sit in your own back yard and hear a conversation. WELCOME to the sound of lazy, spoiled, narcissistic millennials handing down the spoiled gene to their prima donna, brats by refusing to parent. Why be parents if you do nor want to parent? Teaching complete disrespect for neighbors is assholian. I was raised in a different time. Kids were completely allowed to have unlimited fun, but with respect for neighbors in mind. I do not see that in the children of most millennials. They are egomaniacs.
"way too positive". "screaming brats". Sounds like you are leading a miserable life. My advice...find God in your life. Peace is possible. Best of luck.
@@hornerinf My neighbors are "Christians." It explains their selfish brats screaming nonstop like arrogant little MAGAs. The most screechy, self-absorbed, disrespectful people I lived near were "Christians." You have awful advice.
I grew up in Idaho Falls and I loved to skateboard. At least once a month we'd get the Cops called on us for just being in a parking lot skateboarding. People were rude when I was growing up there and it probably didn't help that I'm Hispanic and not Mormon or any type of Christian. Maybe Idaho Falls is great for older folks but as a teen, all you want to do is get out as far as you can go! I left in 2003 and never looked back...San Diego is the place to be for me.
Idahoans will be pleasant to you because that is our nature. Deep down we don't like it. Everyone moving here has priced our children and young adults from owning property in the same way we did. Not going to lie.
I have been researching Idaho for years I’m from California but lived in Oregon for the past 14 years, But I am so afraid of racism for my kids can anyone touch in that?
I am white and married to a Mexican. We have had nothing but friendly interactions to my wife and kids. In the treasure valley, the diversity is growing fast.
I feel that people here look at character first. They are kind, respectful, helpful to each other. People say 'hi' when they meet along the path. Its uplifting.
@@ap1reviewsadventures96 not sure what that has to do with anything I have lived i the south I have lived on the coast I have lived many years in Oregon , can you elaborate on how California and racism connect? I asked this question because of stories I have been told and videos on the internet, but I’d rather ask people that actually live in Idaho but thank you for your input
Go Idaho Real Estate you are the problem with Idaho, not the people moving here although most do not even understand or comprehend what Idaho is about . Quit using Idaho as a cash cow! that is what is ruining Idaho everyone wants to cash in, well continue in this vein and you will turn this into what you fled from!
Please remember that as you move to Idaho and become part of this life style and culture, Please do not bring the political views of California with you. We in Idaho still use small gas motors in our lawn mowers, weed wackers and chain saws. What does and doesn't work in California, Doesn't belong in Idaho.
My wife and l moved from California to northern Idaho 2 years ago. We bought acreage in a mountainous area and we love it. People are very friendly. I glad we bought when we did prices were not crazy then.
The migration of Californians has ruined places like Idaho and Colorado. They all voted for the terrible government they had in California and will vote to turn Idaho and Colorado into the same mess they left. It's okay to go back to California and vote for people who will try to fix California and make it a nice place to live again.
I live in Concord been here 9 years also. wórked in Oakland. Myself son and family live in Clayton.we Are looking in Hidden springs..CA has gotten too expensive and dirty.Idaho seems very comfortable
I have been looking for a cheaper state to retire in, but the current political climate in redder states is becoming alarmingly repressive and theocratic; and Idaho is definitely moving in that direction. I'm originally from Iowa, and I'm horrified by how extreme right wing politicians have taken over, and are in many ways ruining that state.
HEY...EVERY STATE HAS ITS GOOD AND ITS BAD. EVERY STATE HAS SOMETHING TO OFFER... I AM NOT SURE WHERE ALOT OF U GET YOUR INFO REGARDING CALIF HOWEVER CALIF IS A DIVERSE STATE WHEN IT COME TO TOPOGRAPHY
I'm a Boston native and have been here for 32 years. Many of the things I came here for are now gone. Glad i was ahead of the mass migration and got to enjoy Idaho at its finest. The only thing keeping me here now is my approaching retirement, and I'll be enjoying those years elsewhere.😢😢😢
I'm not sure you people understand I'm white horseman Adam you belong to a great nation ants have same birthmark as people I'm not going be moved your family going home building building plant trees fruit nuts living in a way to please visit All God made go home
Just moved to Idaho from California. We lived in Brentwood near Concord and i drove in to San Francisco every day for work. We moved to Idaho Falls and absolutely love it! No mor 4hrs on the road to work an 8hr shift. People are nice, cost of living means i get to retire at 55 not 60. My wife is having so much fun and she has her high school friends who live here. The best choice we ever made! Starting my own knife business after being on forged in fire. Time to have some fun.
We love hearing stories like this!

Very appealing. I'm sitting here in San Jose, CA paying sky high taxes for failing schools, open air drug markets (excuse me, "tent encampments"), and rampant crime. You NEVER see kids playing on the street and we live in a nice area. Neighbors (even ones with kids the same age) don't wave or say hi. My neighbor moved to Idaho last year and so did his two sons with their families.
Well let us know when you are ready! We are excited to help you!
No offense, but this is nice couple who are trying to justify their move, and not sounding very convincing. This is staged promo by a realtor who sees the boom ending. Boise is boring, it's dry, and the winters are very cold. Traffic in Boise is now HORRIBLE. No, trust me, you're not going fishing, hunting, hiking everyday just because you moved to Boise, you'll do what you did before you moved there. I have a sister who lives in Boise and hear her complaints all the time. I live in California and heard that my retired neighbor is leaving Boise and moving BACK to California.
Good to hear --take MORE back to Cali!
Damn
They are probably leaving with $250k in tax free cap gains.
Couldn’t be further from the truth. But thanks for your comment
@@GoIdaho Let's examine the truth pal. Yes you get freedom to make money but that comes with a cost. The truth is that traffic is terrible and the infrastructure soon will not be able to tolerate the influx of people. What happens when many people are concentrated in one spot? Crime, traffic, pollution, prices all go up. Let me tell you what else happens, people start voting for social programs to support that population growth and low income people that have been priced out of the market. In essence it becomes Cali all over again while people like you probably make enough to have houses in two different states. You're a minority.
I am going to vote on no more development, meeting is on Monday. Corey Barton Homes circling my small town like a vulture and the Mayor who have never dealt with million dollar budgets probably sees dollar bills. Yeah its not gunna happen. Everytime a new house is going to be shown we have vowed to go by it with our guns slung over our shoulders wearing overalls like dumb rednecks, open carry is great. Especially when white people see Hispanic people doing open carry, the confusion is too funny!!!
One other fact is that Micron Technology, the largest private employer in the Valley is extremely progressive. Sanjay is as left leaning as it gets and he is changing the culture of the valley which is for the better if your left leaning but if you're a right leaning California or Oregon retired refugee your highly paid young neighbors are likely to be Democrats.
Trust me… everyone is still thinking it “go away california” My wife and I are 5th generation Idaho natives and we can’t even afford a house!! It’s cheaper for everyone else NOT FROM HERE!!! Good hell!!! So glad that we are your cheap paradise… Us locals can’t stand the growth… so good for you guys, but terrible for locals!!!!!
It’s all an equity grab.
All of this 🎉
Funny enough, the exact same thing is happening to us in CA...so we're planning a move there. We are looking for an inexpensive place so we can actually have some mortgage relief. If there are any ways, (aside from not moving there) to off-set the burden on locals, please let me know.
New Yorkers are moving into Cali and ruining all that was beautiful. Californians are moving to Idaho and ruining all that is beautiful.
Why do city people drive through the country, love the open spaces, farm and ranch lands, absorb the peace and quiet…. Then buy property and complain about the farms and ranches until they get them shut down.
Unfortunately, that is referred to as Idaho greed.
Please PRAY for our family to try to move to Idaho! I would ask for God's blessing on our family. We are having so much trouble getting out of California! It seems like we are being "blocked" so if I could ask for blessings and prayers that our family can GET OUT of where we are personally (here in San Diego) and find more CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIANS who connect with the family values that I was born and raised with. I cannot find anyone left in my area who shares my personal beliefs in God and Country! 🦅 (I tried to add an American flag emoji to this post and it is not there. Anything American symbol emojis are just not there!)
I will pray for you. We feel the same way. We are stuck in CA. I am hoping & praying that will change.
Why would you need your imaginary friend "god"?

I'm in Washington and disgusted with the oppresive nanny State laws. They are more worried about gun owners who mind their own business, than the insane homeless problem and crime. It is irritating when people leave a blue State and try to change a red State.
Boo hoo

I'm here as well and looking for a way out in retirement. It isn't safe even in the smaller towns/cities. Crime is out of control in areas that were insanely safe just 3 years ago.
Buddy there will always be crime everywhere u go … no matter what state ….. just probably low because there only 1.9 million people in the state that’s but is almost going 2m sooo expect the state to grow and it won’t be same anymore
Sometimes Idaho is not for everyone… that’s me I been here for 4 years seen Boise seen and other parts Idaho I just miss my family and beaches and the beautiful environment and entertainment and everything that brings colors and culture and California Temecula is my home going back the end of year 2024 I l 💕💜😍
I'm an ex Californian who moved to Idaho via Oklahoma. I visited many places and actually lived in Jenks Oklahoma for 6 months. My daughter moved here to Meridian Idaho and I then followed her. Best decision, ever. This place is clean and feels safe. I had an Amazon package on my front doorstep for 1 week without it being stolen. In Oklahoma it would have been stolen within an hour. It's funny about the DMV. The DMV in California AND oklahoma are a living hell experience. Looking forward to Idaho's DMV, haha. Getting utilities set up was a snap. The clerks answer the phones and are polite. My internet provider actually cares about doing a good job for their customers. Wow, I have to pinch myself.
Super! We have so many clients who would say the exact same thing. Happy to have you in town! Go Idaho!
I lived near 36th; and state street in Boise on Pinehurst dr for almost three months in 2000.
I rented a room from the home owner for $300 a month; and I definitely enjoyed living in Boise; I had a job from one of those temp employment agencies working in the HP facility for an environmental company helping to recycle cardboard boxes; and scrap metal parts from the hardware of computers; and fax machines.
The car that; I bought from an irresponsible motorist was having mechanical problems so; I left Boise to return to the race tracks in Kentucky where; I live rent free.
I liked living in Boise but; I felt that I had to leave because of my problem vehicle.
I had no problem getting an Idaho driver’s license; and plates; and tags.
My opinion of Boise is that it’s not the right place for everyone who wants to relocate to.

I moved to Twin Falls from 55 years in Las Vegas Nevada. I have loved every minute of the 3 months of living here. People are kind and friendly and the city is just beautiful. I thank Jesus for allowing me my heart's desire to leave Sin City and live in a city that is so nice.
We love hearing stories like that! Thanks for sharing.

Do you find that the climate is still a desert and dry? I do like a drier climate. Was in AZ for over 35+ years. Much better than humidity.
Hi! I too live in Vegas. I’ve retired and this last summer was a killer.You are stuck inside 5 now going on 6 months with the new intense heat we have. I’m done! It’s a leap but we are outdoor people and we go to Mt. Charleston every week. Getting boring…
That’s the problem with Idaho. Cali ppl moving in. I just moved out of Idaho to South Carolina and I couldn’t be happier. THE BEACH!
Me too !
Yep. They bring their liberal politics in so they can destroy Idaho as well.
That was good.
Idaho has beaches in Coeur d'Alene, and there’s the hot springs that has natural hot water!
Funny, I moved here FROM South Carolina, from Easley to be exact. I now live in Meridian, but I visit family back in SC frequently. Where in SC did you move to?
I am a Californian who went school in Pocatello. Sure being in school is kind of an artificial way of life, still I had no trouble with the transition. What was interesting was how Idaho kind of remains in your heart when you leave. That is the real mark of a place.
We want to move because our state has many people moving here from other states and changing everything we love. They have thousands of people and yes many from California, alot of nature has been removed taxes are higher cost of living sky rocketed and most who lived here can no longer afford to. The area and state is becoming exactly what people who left the other states left them for.
Amen I hate it here now.
You are right.
It is sad how much Boise, Meridian, and Nampa are changing 😔. A lot of people bringing their bad snobe attitude, and lack of respect for traffic. Making the roads very dangerous. We moved to Twin Falls, and is getting crazy here also.
We moved to idaho 7 years ago and best decision we ever made for our family.
This is the response we get from 95% of the people who move here. Thanks for watching!
Retired military. Had not been to Boise. Could not be happier about choosing to live here. Love this place and all it has to offer.
Idaho: We're full.
Florida: were full, New york: were full, texas:were full. idaho is no where near full! just visited and its like one city surrounded by nothing else. Try Florida!
I agree 100 %
Wish you would have discussed winter weather compared to Concord ca
it is 4 season weather...if you can't handle Tahoe in the winter, don't bother with Idaho
Are the winter hard in Idaho?
We did this video as an honest opinion. We are not paid, no coaxing. We still love it here and are happy we decided to move here.
I love it here too!
I just got an elementary teacher degree and am considering moving from CA to Idaho. Probably the Twin Falls area. They need teachers there and I don't like how districts in CA are racist against Whites (I'm White and have experienced plenty of anti-White racism here in the 12 years I worked in schools in different positions.) I also don't like the districts here pushing trans agenda.
CA wants to force a covid mandate to work in schools if the FDA ever approves it (not emergency approval), so I don't like that about CA either.
State income tax would be 6% in Idaho, but it is 12% here in CA for a starting teacher's income level.
You seem like a great, critically thinking teacher. Our family is looking at moving to ID, from CA and OR, respectively. Best to you!
Just don’t bring liberal garbage to Idaho.
Did you end of moving to Idaho? I taught in a small town called Buhl my first year of teaching. I'm from Orange County, CA and I missed the weather and diversity.
@@hayleymeagan1014 go to OR
I absolutely love Idaho.
The best!
I was born at Mountain home airbase and my career in the Air Force took me to many states. I retired in California and plan to move back to Idaho or northern Utah. Hope it don’t get too expensive for a master sergeant.
Where in Idaho did they move to but they’re talking about where?
Grew up in California, which was for all things considered, the best state in the country from my perspective having lived there over forty years The features that made California so impressive like the weather, natural beauty, industry, a coastal state with mountains, etc. attracted a rabid multicultural invasion which has in effect destroyed it. San Francisco was one of the most beautiful cities in the world and it can be viewed as an example of everything evil experienced by the rest of the country. Northern Idaho in a lot of ways is how America use to be, and now in my older years is a logical choice because I wasn't raised in a politically correct enviroment.
We had a family move to Kendrick Idaho from Washington state to pastor the AG church there, they love it and have adapted very well. It's a small town and so is mine here in WA in a solid red county surrounded by blue idiots.
We moved 9 years ago to Idaho from Central California. Everything this couple expressed was our experience as well.
We built our home to have a large side yard to grow our own garden +fruit trees.
Lot's of outdoor activities which we love. Idaho has beautiful landscapes +wildlife.
We were trailblazer coming here and get to experience the 4 Seasons.
Thanks for sharing! So many people are having this same experience as you guys! Thanks for setting the tone.

I'm retiring in February, 2024 after 27 years in law enforcement in Bay Area, CA. I've been to Idaho three times and love it. Some of my already-retired friends live in Meridian/Eagle/Hidden Springs. I hope to move there, too. Eagle is my wish. I can't wait to ditch California.

I think Idaho is a very great place! But I'm leaving because I need to be closer to my daughter! I'm alone here and its best I am closer to one of my kids in the event I need help for medical reasons. I thought it would be closer for me to visit my son in WA but I'm realizing its a little too far. Family is important to me and since my daughter lives in AZ, it will not be as expensive as CA. ( Born in CA but raised in TX. Long story. ) Anyway, as an older person the winters are a little too cold for me. I prefer more warmth year round. But if you like the outdoors, friendly people, low cost of living, and a more rural feel then Idaho is a great option!
Thanks so much for the comment. I completely understand about being closer to family. Family is most important. AZ has some beautiful locations! If you need any help selling your home, please reach out to our team.
“Low cost of living” lmfaooooo Idaho has the fastest growing market in the nation right now, if your moving here be prepared to spend at least half a million. Property taxes alone have doubled this year due to the immense inflation, if you’re going to cda or anywhere downtown be ready to spend 10-15min at each light. Smh ya’ll need to be honest, growth happens, and we are getting hit the hardest.
@@bobbyboi8820 Real Estate has appreciated in Boise and everywhere else over the last two years much faster than wages. I agree! But if you consider all other expenses compared to other metro areas, I found it to be cheaper. Utillities, for example, are much cheaper as is car registration, etc. etc., than say the Phoenix metro area. Look at the property taxes in Texas; very high! But if your focus is on just RE prices alone, then I agree. Additonally, it seems the Boise area needs to focus more on bringing higher paying jobs to its market. Relying solely on CA transplants isn't a good long-term plan. I will add one more issue I observed while in Boise area, that is the infrastructure has not been improved to include all the new housing. But with the extension of hwy 44 and hwy 16, I think will help. It is going to take a while, that's all!
@@bhlibertybhliberty3403 I agree with you to a point. “Compared to other states” is a phase you won’t be able to use when Idaho is rapidly catching up, insurance and utilities have gone up tremendously this year. I already stated property taxes have doubled this year as well. Everyone wants to move here but nobody wants to work when the minimum wage is still $7.25 which is why most businesses are understaffed here and you can’t even get a fast food burger without waiting 25min now. We haven’t even peaked yet and prices are only going higher, prepare your pockets.
@@bobbyboi8820 Boise has been in a bubble with prices skyrocketing (as you know)! This is unsustainable! With the climb of interest rates, the only direction property values can go is down because it will price folks out of the market. The Boise metro area is a beautiful place to live, but I believe you will start to notice a slowdown. Have a great day Bobby!
What area did this couple move too ?
They moved to Meridian.
What town did this couple move to?
Meridian, ID
I would never move to a state like Idaho; too many outsiders moving there & it creates a strange culture of uncertainty. Too much rapid growth is not a good thing. I prefer an older & stable population base as I plan to retire.
So are you living in your ideal state?
I am happy to say we are voting down the applications from developers in our city. The infrastructure cannot take the growth. The new people move into the proposed rental units and our taxes go up, and they could take away our votes and vote in their interests for the city even though they are not permanent residents and have not paid decades of taxes here. I am so glad the interests rates went up to slow the growth.

We moved to Caldwell eight years ago because of the political climate in California. Idaho is not California, and there are a few things we miss, but not the politics. We used to live in coastal Northern California, Arcata, along the coastline, which was very nice. Return to California? NO WAY! Coast of living is much cheaper here in Idaho, although housing prices have doubled and tripled, but we got a great buy on our home! 😊

I just can’t bear being here for 5 months of harsh winter and wait for June to go hike or camp, lakes …they don’t even have enough water parks here. It’s mostly outdoors place lakes and mountains and hunting and fish but I’m not hunter or fisher soo thata no for me. I mean traffic is what is is ….. u can’t escape traffic in other states unless Wyoming. Idaho is almost 2m is going grow and which is not going be same anymore so there be traffic now
I normally never comment on videos like this but with the title of this video and my own experiences I HAD TO comment.
SO, Jan 2022 I moved from So Cal to Boise. After dozens of videos mind you, lots of research, my daughter and I decided on ID.
We arrived in Boise and it was NOT Coeur d'Alene let's just say that. We had to move into an apartment, the WORST I'd ever experienced btw. Terrible management. Took my deposit after I only lived there for 3 months.
Gas was $3.87 gal and now July 13th it's $5.23 gal
I've never seen so many purple, green, pink, colored hair people - guys looking like women, women looking like guys so essentially it's been referred to as "PORTLAND LIGHT"
I almost got hit driving on 2 separate occasions.
Unfriendly people, house prices insane for what you get, unless you are in that range of over $500 like the people you interviewed - the idaho sign with the heart in it gave the video away also.
I won't even mention my experience at a local motorcycle dealership- that's another story-
roads not surfaced, everywhere I go speed is 35 mph on 2-3 lane roads that should easily be 50
very low pay not keeping up with cost of living and govt jobs you would think pay well...nope they are among the worst.
Unless you come here with your pocket full of CA equity from and have 2 incomes and at least one over 6 figures your not going to find a nice home here
I've been here for 5 months and have not met anyone. Certainly no one waves hi or smiles -
My conclusion is, I made the wrong choice, but at the time moving companies charging huge prices to rent moving trucks, it's been a nightmare.
BTW, I've never seen any place that house sq ft is under 1000 and they want over $400K for it.
Every house I looked at so far needs major updating and almost no pride of ownership, no curb appeal either
So, unless you have a lot of money probably gonna have a hard time, Oh- almost forgot...My daughter and I were driving down a road called eagle to the right on a krail
I see in 3 ft letters spray painted...CALIFORNIANS SUCK!
That has been my experience.
LOL "Portland Light" . Apartments suck. My goal in life is to never live in an apartment ever again. Needles to say, Red States are not happy to see the blue people. I would try North Carolina in your next move.
As a conservative gay man I find your comments kinda pathetic and bitter because I moved here in December 2020 and bought a brand new 4 bedroom home, oh I forgot to say I'm a previous 3rd generation Californian and find Idaho to be like California back in the 60s. Sounds like your bitterness stems from being an unhappy California liberal that in no way would ever adjust to life as a free thinking American, returning to California would be best for you and Idaho
@@optitom9033 he’s complaining about people with colored hair and the place being “Portland Light” and you interpreted that as him being liberal? 😂

@@optitom9033This man just used conservative and gay in the same sentence 😂
If you like living in a city that has cold winter months but doesn’t get buried under several inches; or a foot; or two feet of snow from a blizzard then Boise is the perfect city to live in just get use to the traffic congestion during morning; and evening rush hours!
If the disgruntled Californian residents can get the time to enjoy the skiing at the ski resorts; and snowmobiling; or ice skating at the rink; or other outdoor activities then they will definitely like living in the Treasure Valley area.
Thanks for watching and the comment. Appreciate the input.
A lot of Idaho natives are happy to hear your complaints. I’m a California native who’s lived off and on in SW Idaho since 1987. Last time I lived back in California was ten years ago.
Vote Bundy for Governor!! Keep Idaho, Idaho!!
I have no idea who that is, but having seen my beautiful state, Washington turn from purple to dark blue due to the influx from California transplants is horrifying. This State is in a race to the bottom. Keep idaho as independent for as long as you can.
We aren’t LDS and hoping that isn’t going to be a problem. Have heard and read stories.
Also orig from Concord CA, still in the Area. Tired of CA politics, high costs of everything and crime. Looking at home prices now its only slightly lower than our home value. Has prices peaked in Idaho yet?
Yes they’ve definitely peaked and in many cases home prices are dropping.
We left Southern California for North Idaho and haven’t looked back. The people have been wonderful here.

These folks are way too positive. When they said they like to hear screaming brats on the streets in their front yard, I knew they are still in the novelty phase. Give them another year.
Kids riding their bikes and playing outside are "screaming brats?" Guess you should move. It's part of childhood and personally I would WELCOME the sound of children.
It brings back my own childhood, where we actually played outside instead of sitting inside with video games, Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook and all the other social media platforms.
Children playing outside also teaches them social skills, communication skills and how to get along with others; you know, things they will never find from inflated, prideful selfish social media platforms.
Who has a problem with kids "riding bikes and playing outside?" Where the eff did you come up with that bs? Hopefully, these people only have kids that ride bikes and have fun, but that is not my case, so bug off. My guess is it is worse than they describe, and will bug the heck out of them after the honeymoon phase wears out.
I am talking about the gates of Hell opening all day to the point that it is impossible to sit in your own back yard and hear a conversation.
WELCOME to the sound of lazy, spoiled, narcissistic millennials handing down the spoiled gene to their prima donna, brats by refusing to parent. Why be parents if you do nor want to parent?
Teaching complete disrespect for neighbors is assholian. I was raised in a different time. Kids were completely allowed to have unlimited fun, but with respect for neighbors in mind. I do not see that in the children of most millennials. They are egomaniacs.
"way too positive". "screaming brats". Sounds like you are leading a miserable life. My advice...find God in your life. Peace is possible. Best of luck.

I grew up in Idaho Falls and I loved to skateboard.
At least once a month we'd get the Cops called on us for just being in a parking lot skateboarding.

Maybe Idaho Falls is great for older folks but as a teen, all you want to do is get out as far as you can go!
I left in 2003 and never looked back...San Diego is the place to be for me.
Well Idaho Falls is just one city. We are located in the Treasure Valley so we can't speak on Idaho Falls very well.
Idahoans will be pleasant to you because that is our nature. Deep down we don't like it. Everyone moving here has priced our children and young adults from owning property in the same way we did. Not going to lie.

The migration of Californians has ruined places like Idaho and Colorado. They all voted for the terrible government they had in California and will vote to turn Idaho and Colorado into the same mess they left.

I have been looking for a cheaper state to retire in, but the current political climate in redder states is becoming alarmingly repressive and theocratic; and Idaho is definitely moving in that direction. I'm originally from Iowa, and I'm horrified by how extreme right wing politicians have taken over, and are in many ways ruining that state.
