What if that’s the kind of environment we WANT to live in? THEN can we come out?

I can only speak for my self from Northern Idaho, but a few years ago we had lots of Californians coming up here. That has now slowed, in part because many in CA are underwater in their homes and don't have the massive equity they once had. Additionally, although we are a job-friendly state, we still struggle (like everybody else) with unemployment near the national average.

It doesn't make much sense to move to Idaho if you are just adding to the unemployment roles.

All that being said, We welcome like-minded folks, but discourage those who want to bring their California thinking with them. A “conservative” Californian, is more like a liberal Idahoan.
