This is scary to read since my daughter and I will be visiting Sandpoint for the first time this summer. It sounds dangerous! I hope we feel welcomed while visiting there! Ugh!

You're a hoot!

@KathleenMcNe no, tis quite true. Really awful experience there and I encourage everyone to avoid it and the surrounding state.

Don't forget to mention all the Kommifornians.

That's not been my experience. I love absolutely everything about living here.

Poor you.

Thomas Totten what a asshole

Ya, California is full as well, doesn't stop the libtards leaders from letting everyone envade, welcome to the club Idaho. At least we're from the USA

@@firedog451 barely...lol

I agree..I’m not 10 but I agree because everything here is just amazing Schweitzer is a place I went to when I was about your age, and I can agree, it’s a very VERY nice place I love living up here it has been an amazing experience for me and my family I wish more people lived up here.

I so agree with you and summer cherries. I’m not 10, obviously I’m quite older but I’ve lived in North Idaho my whole life and loved it. I always love swimming in the lake in summer and watching the river pour down, also the ski resort is amazing. Downtown may be a little crowded at summer but city beach is fun and yea.

So people like to tell Californians and other people how terrible it is because we are trying to keep them from moving here so we can keep it all to ourselves!!! It’s terrible here, I hate it, I never ever wanna leave!!! Stay away please!!!!

Hahaha Pumpkin dick don’t hate Californians.

that is funny

Do you rent it out? I love Sandpoint! I live in Lewiston.

@R R you don't know me :)

Mary Poppins It’s nice to have a judge on here making comments. Never call anybody from any state any name unless you know what your taking about. Did you try and hit on a California guy once and he laughed at you??? Seems like it!

There must be something off about your personality. Visitors and newcomers to the area tell me they love how friendly the people of Sandpoint are.

You're not city liberals, are you?

No

Ditto, to what KC said.

You better not be a fucking liberal I wouldn’t take too kindly to your kind (liberal) if you move there.

Please leave your voting habits where your fleeing away from. Unfortunately most Californians voted for the same things they fled from when they got here in Colorado and turned this once great state into East LA.

seattlevkk not true at all. I’ve been going to Coeur d Alene which is just south of here since I was a kid to visit family. It use to be very homogeneous, but when any non white person was around, they would receive the same hellos from random passers bye and be treated the same. It has since become more mixed in Coeur d Alene, not too sure on Sandpoint but my goal will be to move up there one day to start a family.. the weather is amazing if you like four seasons and the proximity to world class snowboarding/skiing is a major draw

It's true. Stay far away.

seattlevkk Not.True.! It isn’t true at all! There are a lot of white people, but we aren’t racist! There are accasionaly those couple people that weren’t raised with manners like the comment that says, “why can’t white people have a place to their own...”. There are a lot of white people, but we welcome people with color! I actually have an uncle that is black. He married my aunt and then they moved to Idaho, nobody judges him, and if they do, than they should’ve been raised with manners and respect.

Actually visited last year and had a great time. Everyone we met were really nice, except the family we saw when hiking that clearly didn't like seeing colored people on the trail.

It’s absolute bullshit. Treat people how you want to be treated period. If you look for racism anywhere, you’ll find it. Stop talking about it.

my family is moving here soon but we’re from california; i’m curious as to what “commifornian” is? nothing i looked up makes sense lol

Jozeph Mendez I tell people about that Georgia all the time.

I bet this dudes a Californian that couldn’t get a house in Sandpoint

Ill move next to you. Hope u like steaks

From California and moving their deal with it!

William Meeker last guy moved from California up here with Coronavirus. Our 1st case. Ended up with the most neck of the woods welcome when local fam leaked his info ~_#

Hope you have fun! It's a beatiful place.

Um the have a soup center and there is not a bunch of homeless people and This is great town I have lived here all my life

Donna Keeley you act like homeless people are the once’s moving there. That’s not of anyone’s concern

There is a shelter for children and resources for abused women. Priest River Ministries and Kinderhaven. There are soup kitchens in various places, every night of the week.

I think you all misunderstood me. What I wanted to say is that if one gets in trouble in Northern IIdaho, the is little help. Especially for Sr women and men. You are pretty much on your own. There are no facilities/shelters in these towns where specifically single adults that a person can go for help. There are good people in Sandpoint and Bonners Ferry, but the need has mot been addressed for but a handful of people. It is a Resort town. A beautiful place to starve to death if you are single, fall on hard times and aren't among the lucky half dozen women who can indeed find shelter in the Hope facility. One has to go to Coeur d'Alene for help if one finds themselves in trouble. The shelters are full of Sandpoint women there, all year round. It is a problem that needs to be addressed.

@@owen8638 But not for older women in the community to get assistance should they fall on hard times. Yes, for families but only shelters in Priest River, not Sandpoint or Bonners Ferry, which has long waiting lists. No one in their right mind would purposely be homeless or come to north Idaho for help. It's those who have moved there years ago then finding little opportunity for a living wage or no employment in their Sr years and alone, that can and do get into trouble and there is no where to go. They were sleepy little logging towns that are now being commercialized and haven't got past the big bucks of Resort and Retirement Communities. They frown upon homeless and force them into Old town, Priest River, Spokane or Coeur d'Alene, shelters. True story.
