Be careful you don't want to turn out like Oregon and attract all the rich hippies. Californian here who hunts in Idaho and it's my favorite state to visit. It still feels like the last secret place in America.
- UnpossibleJim 9y agoHunting in Idaho is great, but would you take a job and relocate there? Granted, I'm in Washington, which is somewhere in the middle, but we're moving towards California's view (just like everything else).
- jonnycoder 9y agoYes, but local friends and family is biggest preventer of moving.
- phamilton 9y agoBoise is my back pocket destination. If/when I get sick of California nonsense, I'd move to Boise in a heartbeat. No family there, just like the low key outdoor culture and low cost of living.
- CydeWeys 9y agoIdaho is so culturally and socially conservative though, #3 behind just Wyoming and Utah. I don't see it being a good fit for many SVers for that reason. I wouldn't mind visiting but living there long term sounds rough.
- cweagans 9y agoThe majority of Idaho is, but Boise is not. Source: I've lived in Boise all my life.
- phamilton 9y agoSome of us SVers find a socially conservative environment a breath of fresh air. It's a form of diversity not encountered much in SF.
- CydeWeys 9y agoHaving your personal human rights respected is about a lot more than just what a place "feels" like. There are plenty of SVers who, if they go to Idaho, will be discriminated against in a variety of ways, whether it's because they're immigrants, or LGBTQ, or a person of color, or like weed, or need good health insurance, or might need an abortion, aren't religious, want good public education for their children, etc. None of this can be "made up for".
