I find most California expats moving here are conservative and many are fleeing the insane liberal governance and policies in CA.

But, being a “conservative” in CA is not like Idaho-native “conservative.”

Besides conservatism, the influx of money and the role of developers is obvious. A 19 story mixed use building was approved by the Coeur d’Alene city council last year. It is located on Front Street and will block the magnificent views of Lake Coeur d’Alene and Tubbs Hill. It is really dismaying that this was approved. There is insufficient effort to prevent the total make-over of our small cities and towns. Preservation efforts are weak.

A couple decades ago, I moved to kali (from Tennessee) for a few years for work. You're right, kali "conservatism" isn't all that "conservative."

A kali "conservative" might oppose high taxes and support the 2nd, but they're still flaky on drugs, fags, crimigrants, or all the above. But that's just me.

The mixed use bldg is disappointing. Coeur D'Alene natives don't understand the risk of Left Coast $$$ + Left Coast ideology?
