ZERO regrets Get out of that liberal shithole while you still can. |

I agree with him110%, except I buy my guns in the grocery store parking lot Staying, just to say you are fighting a good fight, is futile, you are surrounded and they are closing in Strategic retreat for your wallet, for your life, for your sanity, is the only smart move. Escape before they criminalize you or worse. You know a complete ban is coming, this year or next.  |

Been a little more than 2 years for me and it's been great
I still miss a lot of things about WA, but a nonstop flight from Cincinnati to SeaTac is ~$200. I can fly out a few times a year to go sailing or see friends and still come out ahead |

Yes, Ohio is so much better today, oh wait did t your go on or just veto a anti minor trans bill to protect minors from gender surgery? Sounds like you need to focus on his removal now and not our fights. |

My grand parents homesteader in the Methow Valley, I grew up there, my kids did as well, now my grand kids are growing up here. No hard decision at all for us, we stay fight and refuse to comply. There is simply to much more to leave then the west side stupid. I know non compliance and other fights are coming, things won’t change, and costs will stay high but unless the king from the west side forms a new state police the east side will become more defiant as well as quite possible a successful split like oregon is attempting. I think and so do many others that 2024 will show which direction the nation is heading, if Biden wins again our states bullshit will be nothing compared to what is coming nationally. More and more people here are fed up, and the last BLM rally in my area ended almost quicker then it started, it also cost our liberal prosecutor his job as in he also attempted to defend his position then abruptly resigned and moved back to the west side. |

It's hard to leave the stupid level of pay I get for the relative amount of work I put in via the maritime industry. Maybe if greater Idaho gets that slice of beachfront property I'll be all set and won't even have to move

I escaped in 22, traveled around until August of this year and bought property in Idaho.
I was back in the Tacoma area for Christmas and the differences between CDA and there are crazy. I didn't realize how "cold" people are over there, plus the homeless and criminal behavior is very noticable. I did see an LP guy stop a dude trying to push a cart full of food out of a Safeway though, so maybe people are starting to get fed up. Making the choice to leave was the hardest part. With a little bit of looking, I'm sure you can find work and a financial situation that will work for you. We ended up in Idaho mostly because of our family back home that won't leave (hopefully just for now). If it weren't for that, we'd have probably ended up in a different place, like Tennessee or south Dakota. |

ZERO regrets Get out of that liberal shithole while you still can. Bought my ID property in 2018, built my house and retired there in 2020 Have a well so water is free. My gas and electric bill this month was under $100 $106 to register my car for 2 years, $30 to register my trailer for 10 years But for me it's also a better quality of life that brought me out here. When I moved to Lynden, WA in 2003 there were 7.500 living there Now it's double that and many came from the Seattle area, bringing their politics. I still enjoy my visits to WA, but like 1GR and CavVet, have no regrets. |

Same here as far as wages, we have a Idaho office and they are busy as fuck with developments, right now we have one in the Boise area and 5 in north Idaho in the Lake Pend Oreille, Sandpoint area and Coeur d'Alene. I was asked about transferring and simply put the wage cut wasn’t worth it, I e heard from quite a few the Idaho wage is lower. My other concern is how Spokane and Pullman are turning blue from transplants, how long before Coeur d'Alene, Lewiston and Boise all fall to the same fate as western Washington? I am seeing first hand these large developments with large homes going in like no tomorrow and all being bought up by California.

Post menopausal women can't feel safe enough, & the "public safety" pitch reels them in. Public sector is happy to leverage that to up the pay & retirement plans, & it just keeps snowballing. Things get worse, but they keep doubling down. Before you know it, it's implicitly or explicitly illegal to just defend yourself or your property (police are always GTG with jamming you up if you try). A decade or 2 later, & it's, "...wuh happened?" Same thing that always happens, fueled by public sector greed & a lack of any insight by the public at large. Yeah, I know, "It'll never happen here." That's always the case. |

I always get a sense that the members who have relocated so easily never had any real roots here to begin with. Several of them have indicated as much, if not in those same words. Transplants to begin with. Walking away from aging parents and siblings isn’t the easiest thing. Then there are the ones who waited until their families were grown and their careers over before they picked up and left. A little easier to do with a retirement income stream vs having to start all over in an area with lower economic prospects. Yeah, the direction the state is headed in definitely sucks. I don’t blame anyone for leaving. Even applaud those with school age children deciding to get them out of here. I would never suggest that a 2A advocate move here. It’s really only tolerable if you were already pretty much set a couple of years ago. I’ve got family spread all around Idaho and roots there that likely go back a lot further than most members here. It would be easy to move there. I look at houses on Zillow quite a bit, have a few favorites saved. It may happen yet, after I retire in a few years. Sandpoint has long been known for its artsy, hippy-ish vibe. Kind of disappointing to see the direction that Boise and CDA are going in, though. One of our kids just moved to Tennessee, so we will be interested to learn more about and explore that area. They say the Smoky Mountains are great, I just don’t know if I could live anywhere further east than the Rockies. The general lack of wide open, publicly accessible land in the eastern half of the country looks pretty depressing to me, too. |

Someone has to carry on the fight, but it's a shame so many heavy hitters have moved on. Blessings to all who have gone, but remember it was just a few scant years ago Washington's politics were a lot like Idaho's are today, so watch your electorate, and you know the Left is targeting states with Conservative governments.

And then there are others like me.
I moved FROM Idaho to here last year. OP is right about all the advantages-but my situation is unique and I’m completely content and blessed being here. I’m right where I’m supposed to be. I’m making friends with like minded rebels and could happily spend the rest of my life here. Things will change radically for the better-they always do with a large enough population of pissed off folks and this state is doing everything it can to anger everyone. Idaho, MT, WY would be my move back to states though. |

May the New Year be better for all of us than the last, Lord knows the bar is low-- That is true about Washington politics and gun laws compared to Idaho's. . Some food for thought the company I work for has Idaho locations and while our bulk has been public works projects, we have also been heavily into developments and our Idaho branch has a couple large ones in north Idaho as in 100 lot developments, and the same for a couple in the Boise area. One of our lowboy drives has said it’s crazy the amount of developments going in with sold signs on yet to be completed lots. Where are these people coming from? We do allot of middle snd high end projects so there is money coming but from where? Allot of those moving are coming from California who will bring their politics as well. I said it before and I’ll say it again, the left are locusts and they will keep coming and destroying so running is only buying time and not allot of it either. |

I know we have two huge developments one in Boise and one Sandpoint both are over 100 lots and both have lots selling and we have not started yet and the realtor we talked to told us these buyers are from California. Boise has so much building going on as does the CDA area, this will be the same slow change as Spokane saw. |

Just because they come from CA doesn't make them one of the crazy libs that come from there.
I do however agree that no place is safe in the long run. They tend to f'up the state, causing things to cost more.. driving the lower income libs to other neighboring states.. |

The Californians who have moved to my part of ID over the last few years have been more conservative than some of the locals.
They saw CA ruined by liberals and felt the need to escape to a free state. My district actually voted out a blue politician and gained a red seat in the blue area of Sun Valley in the last election. |

Its a fact that politics follows population density. You have kali, or and wa as an example to look at. I give idaho about 10yrs maybe 15 before you start seeing the blue take hold. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Boom_Stick: Idaho is a great place. For now. Its a fact that politics follows population density. You have kali, or and wa as an example to look at. I give idaho about 10yrs maybe 15 before you start seeing the blue take hold. I’m thinking 5 and 2 or 3 before you start seeing the blue agenda getting traction and laws changing. Granted many moving to Idaho are red fleeing blue bullshit, but allot of blue are fleeing the shit they created and can’t recognize they created it. Once the foot is in the door the free fall begins, look at what happened here in Washington,, look how fast we fell and continue to fall. Hell even Jeff Bezos left and went to Florida, think he’s leaving his blue agenda here in Washington? |

Idaho was in the running, but doesn't look like wher we're headed. WA born and raised. Trying really hard to get the house ready, it's been a drag with contractors and projects. |

Closing today on a house in Lewiston ID.
Per one of those web stalking sites, on my new street - 16 R, 1 D and 6 others. How refreshing. I'm guilty of driving up home prices in ID. Otherwise, I am not carrying any lib virus. |

It depends what state we end up in, but trying to do huge ROTH conversions now before we move. Everyone complains about WA taxes, but that's honestly one of the best things about WA. Sub 1% property taxes and no income taxes is huge and makes up for a lot of the small nickel and dime stuff all over. 6% income would be like 3x my current property taxes. The bigger difference I've seen is labor costs at restaurants, contractors, trades, etc, that's where its amazing how much cheaper other areas are. |

I agree and overall the cost of living in ID is a lot less than WA. Good luck on the ROTH conversion, it'll pay off in the long run. My ROTH paid for my property here and most of the construction of my home. The nickel and dime stuff does add up though. I'm not paying $100-150 a month on water as I now have a well. Rare is the month I pay over $100 for utilities and the cost to register my car for 2 years was $104. That being said, I just wanted to live here more than WA. It's personal choice, but ID works out better for me, which may not be true for someone else. Before I retired and was still moving in. I was out in the backyard shooting rockchucks with my suppressed 10/22, when I saw my new neighbor walking over. I thought crap, I haven't even moved in yet and I've already pissed him off by shooting off my porch. He got to my porch and said, "I saw you shooting chucks from you back yard", then he unslung his rifle and asked if he could join me. |
