Dear Idahoan board superiority bros,

For various very obvious reasons my family is considering relocating to a free state from Californistan.

Idaho is on the short list. Looking for regional opinions and advice.

Two major requirements:
  • Regional airport somewhere near by to be able to fly to LAX.
  • Needs to be at least driving distance to a town large enough to support some sort reasonably sized childcare/school/etc.
So far have looked at Coeur d'Alene and Pocatello the most. Dad's family is from Malad. Probably wanting to avoid Boise for the same reasons we are leaving California.

    I am camping in a town called Declo - Burnley is the largest nearby town, Twin Falls is the bigger city nearby. Cold, windy but people are nice.

    Not much help and I am temporarily living here.

    CDA. Look to the acreages south of town. 95 north is a traffic shit show. Back way into Spokane is an easy shot to the airport.

    GEG to SLC gets you anywhere in the country. GEG to SEA, anywhere international. Simple.

    E Idaho is for sermon seekers and Mormons.

    Boise now is essentially SoCal 20 years ago. It will be all blued up before you know it.

    Is it true that if you build a neighborhood in W. Boise it must have a LDS Cathedral? Looked like it to me. Not hating, just an observation. RE prices are out of control.

    The Exodus did involve infestation. Good news is that apparently most Cali's moving to TX are Republicans. Maybe Idaho will luck out.

    Pretty much this, if you've spent any time in the tug with me you realize where my family's politics stand.

    CDA seems to be the refugee camp for OC libertarians fleeing.

    Imo AZ and NV are the ones who are fucked and why I don't want to move to either. Dumbfucks getting out of California and then voting for the same shit they fled.
