We left California two days ago and arrived in Northern Idaho last night at 5:30 PM. We are proud to now be Idahoans!
As soon as we crossed the border, my 10 year old son happily exclaimed that my first order of business should be to add proper pistol grips to my rifles.
I understand why every conservative Californian has left, but the grass doesnt have to be, and likely wont be greener on the other side. I moved back to CA ten years ago. Have a nice home in La Quinta, surrounded by private communities and golf courses. Our neighbors are 4-1 republicans, and there is very little riff raff around here. Weather is 85 degrees today, and restaurants and resorts are filled with tourists from around the world. We enjoy Indian Wells Tennis Gardens, shopping on El Paseo, and dining at the River in Rancho Mirage. Eisenhower Medical center is world class.
You can golf till you drop at over 100 golf courses. We pay more for things but thats the price for quality of life, whether in Texas, Idaho, Arkansas, Tennessee, or right here in California. You can always run but you cant hide.
