Re: Why Invest in Cities? There's Always Another Boise
#2If Boise is happy to deal with an influx of Californians, they can have at it. I'd rather they go there than migrate up the West Coast, bringing their far right politics with them.
A year or so ago I was near San Diego, and turning on the radio I got an earful about how finding a new strongman to head the police department was the #1 duty of the city. Seemed absolutely ridiculous to me, but the culture down in Cali is that of beating down on the dirty poors, then acting surprised with the consequences like the hepatitis outbreak: https://www.cnn.com/2017/09/14/health/hepatitis-a-outbreak-s...

I’ve heard a lot of things about California transplants (being one myself), but being far right is one I haven’t yet heard.

#4From a logistical standpoint, does Boise have a glut of available jobs for these migrants, or are they taking their jobs with them?
That's the first thing I think about when considering a move; can I work there?

California is a big a diverse place, and a lot more reflective of America than places that typically talk about how they’re “Real America.”

#9As someone who's currently looking to purchase a first home in Boise after living here for the last 9 years, all I can say is "meep". There's nothing like the crazy stupid money that Californians are brining in to the housing market to make we wish articles like this would stop shining the spotlight on Boise. The housing market has been nuts this season and I can't help but think that it's all the Californians coming in and buying houses off of the market in cash.
I don't mind more people coming in to our city. I don't care where you're from. Boise is a lovely place and I would love to have more culture and different perspectives help contribute to the current lifestyle of Boiseans. I just wish it wasn't to the detriment of the current lifestyle of the people who already live here.

If you're in tech, yes. There are a lot of tech related jobs that Boise has a huge deficit for. You won't be compensated at the same rates that you would be in California, but the cost of living would make up for it.
