- Like many of you we used to think Idaho was brown, flat, and full of potatoes...
In this podcast we recap our trip to both the Treasure Valley aka South Idaho and we even flew up to Coeur d'Alene to North Idaho aka the border of Canada to see if we wanted to leave our families and move there!
While we haven't made a final decision- more on that later, this trip truly BLEW our minds. Watch to find out what we learned!!

We have guns in Idaho!! Don't come if you do not like them!
YUSSSS... I move here from NYC and I love that guns are legal here like they are supposed to be in all of USA
We have morons in Idaho don’t come if you aren’t a moron!
Exactly.
You also have no jobs, it’s hilarious how California is destroying your state
I grew up in Louisiana and lived in GA and they love their guns.
One secret to blending in to a new environment… stop talking about how much bigger and better CA is than wherever it is you go. Just embrace the new area for what it is
Welcome to Idaho, just keep California politics out of our state.
And CA attitude!
I agree on both
Goes without saying.
None of you are even from here. Its not our state. It's my state
@@andrewsmith5198 we moved here from Nevada in 1990 and we love it here, we don’t want anything to change. It felt like home as soon as we got here. We were never city people we lived off the grid in Nevada. We had to haul water for our horses. But we had to work in the city and hated to have all of the people around us and we wanted a safer place for our children to grow up. Crime came up to where we lived and many a time I had to sit in front of our door with my shotgun while my husband went outside to check things out. We respect Idahos ways because they are our ways.
I live in the CDA area. Respectfully, you don't know anything about the area. The reason we dislike people from California moving here is that they displace many locals who have lived here their whole life. They are having to find somewhere to live. Many Californians come in paying cash for homes increasing property taxes caused by big developers built a sea of houses ruining the beautiful prairie between Hayden and Spokane. Utilizing more and more natural resources displacing wildlife including bear, wolves, deer, and elk. Crime has increased exponentially. Our aquifer is already vulnerable and can't handle the amount of people moving in. Cost of homes has increased and rent is outrageous now.
Sadly this is happening in many states because of Californians moving in mass numbers.
Yes, I totally know I know nothing! Thanks for your comment!
Well those Idaho locals have no problem taking that out of state money. Always blaming others.
So if your from Washington or Oregon that does not bother you folks? Or just CA?
Well said. North Idaho and Spokane used to be a hidden gem. Now it’s growing so fast that it has lost its genuine appeal. The sea of ever expanding developments erasing the land. Wildlife used to be everywhere and now it’s hiding in the forest.
Those of us who’ve lived here for most of our lives are definitely feeling the overcrowding. What used to be fields and farms are now mowed down and subdivisions are going in very fast. We miss our old Idaho that was rural. Road construction everywhere! Northern Idaho is different, less people and harsher winters.
I know there are houses all over the place now. I miss the old Idaho myself.
North Idaho is the same. The fields that used to be Post Falls are now suburbs. Even rhe highway up to Rathdrum is being hugely remodeled.
Fun fact, Idaho is one of the most mountainous states there are in this country. It is also home to the largest designated wilderness area in the entire lower 48 named the frank church wilderness, surpassed only by Alaska. California is mountainous as well but nothing like Idaho. If you flattened out Idahos mountains it would be twice the size of Texas.
Those are neat facts! Another fun fuct: CA has the tallest mountains in the lower 48. Only Alaska surpasses it. Weirdly, Alaska is the the most humid state! I now live in the south ( North Arkansas), moved from North Idaho, so it is strange thinking that Alaska is more humid than Southern USA.
hate to disappointed you that honor will go to the state of Nevada get your geography straight
@@diegogonzalez7279 bullshit. The frank church wilderness is the largest patch of wilderness in the lower 48. You’re wrong. Lol I’m quite good at geography actually. Likely better than yourself.
@@diegogonzalez7279 a simple google search before commenting would save you the embarrassment of sounding like an idiot.
@@diegogonzalez7279 Not sure what geography you're talking about. Mt Whitney is in California. Sierra Nevada is the name of the mountain range.
We moved to Idaho (we now live in Eagle) from California over 20 years ago now and haven't looked back. It's the place that I've lived the longest in my entire life. I've lived in PA, FL, UT and CA and Idaho is truly a great place. We've raised all our kids here. The Boise metro area is big enough to have anything you want (minus the beach), but small enough (and isolated enough) to not have all the issues of bigger cities. My wife is a real estate agent here and has helped so many people move here and for the most part they come here because their values no longer align with their previous state. They aren't looking to change Idaho, but come here because and feel at home. Good luck with your decision!
Move back to California
You change it, simply by coming. You gave us traffic, higher taxes, overcrowded schools, ect. Thanks a ton. 🙄
I can't stand real-estate agents who move in from California and make money off our state.
I’m also going to make a change next year and I’m a realtor in California, I wondered how hard it was to break into the market up there?
idaho is honestly the best place to raise ur children. most part there is kind people. beautiful lakes. i’m glad u guys came here and i wish you the best of luck❤
When people say it's full
What they are trying to say is that people really enjoy the space and more people would make it less peaceful
And that our infrastructure is not set up for the amount of people moving here. The reason people in north Idaho get upset with so many people moving here is because all it the pretty things people want to move here because of... stay beautiful because there hasn't been a ton of people living here. The more people here... the less trees, the less wildlife, the less quiet. Yet there is more traffic, more crime, more restrictive laws, more accidents etc..
Its hard to remain optimistic when there's not many positives for us locals.. we are being forced to live in a larger city (even though we didn't move anywhere), We are saving up to buy houses that we've suddenly found have tripled in price. We are finding our commute times have tripled. Feels like everyone is in a rush and more people are rude. The worst is that when we all keep saying we can't manage this many people here and more keep on moving here.
My advice would be to wait until it's set up a little better to handle more people before moving to North Idaho. We've went through the shock and see that our hometown is changing. Give us t time to get better set up for it. Too many people move here and then wait for it to be accommodating rather than the other way around.
@@katymorris7853 i live in a rural Oregon town that almost doubled since covid
Although i am a born and raised Oregonian, i understand the frustrations of the locals in my new town
What I’m saying is that I can’t afford to live anymore, because people like these have turned it into one of the fastest growing housing markets. I live in a camper now cause rent doubled in like 4 years in my area.
Dude I live in Idaho and I swear half of my school was born in California why does everyone in California want to move here
Because liberal politics have turned the place into a dump.
Remember there are Many Millions living in California, so even a Small Percentage wanting to move to Idaho will be devastating
Because they love poisoning everything they touch
Full to Californians is a sad level of full. Florida is full, Idaho is full, texas is full. We would prefer to stay quiet and NOT like California.
Oh shut up, it’s a free country I thought and Americans can live in any state. What are you, an ancient person and we are not? I have great grandparents from many states who are you to talk crap, I bet your parents moved here in the 70’s for r you did. Did you know my great great grandma lived in idaho? So people telling me to leave who’s parents moved here makes no sense! You north Idaho people have very low IQ’s and are crooks too!!! Im escaping and I hope you jackasses are left with rubble!
@@HDPersonal777 you sound like you have a lot of issues. You have no idea who I am and took your anger toward life out on me in words that don’t even make sense. Have a great new year. I hope you get happy this year!
Californian here. I feel bad for all of you. I want out too but AWAY from these idiots and their votes. You can keep ‘em though 🤢
Texas has a lot of people, all of the east, n south is full, mid west has a medium amount of people, west cost is empty empty, anything over the Rockies, only the coast has mid high amount of people, Idaho is mid empty like Utah, look up a population map
funny but my whole family was from eastern wash and idaho...i'm in ca looking to move back...sad nobody likes us but i get it- I say just don't bring CA politics and values to a red state- we used to be red....
My family is from AZ but we’ve been transplanted in eastern Montana for about 5 years, so this is very very relatable. It’s hilarious listening to people complain they have to get to the airport more than 30 minutes early now that more people are living here, when 2hrs minimum is a requirement in Phoenix lol I definitely miss the diversity and the happenings of the South West but it all depends on where a person is in life to get the most out of a new area ❤
Oh my goodness! My family and I moved to Boise from OC 4 years ago. It’s been the best decision for our family! We just love it. Every time we go back to CA now, we’e happy to come back home to ID. It’s just a simple, slower, and a happier environment
🫶🏽✨
I currently live in OC
Great content. You guys are so genuine. Love it! Good luck trying to solidify your next move. I watch a CZcams named Wold according to Briggs and if I’m not mistaken he said that Boise is a popular (or the number 1, can’t remember) city to move into in 2022.
I think it is!
I live in Ketchum. I think its the attitude that is brought in by many Californians that bugs a lot of us. Not only that, but we can't keep up with the human traffic that is coming. When you move to Idaho, come in with a little empathy and understanding that things aren't changing for the better. If you want to have a positive experience, living in Idaho, be apart of the positive change instead of the negative change ❤ one other thing, minimum wage is still $7.25. They can't afford the rise in rent. So when people complain about the prices, be mindful
I live in Palm Springs, CA but my family is from all over Idaho. It is such a slept-on hidden gem, it is BEAUTIFUL! We have managed to go consistently a few times a year for the better part of a decade - would looooooove to move there one day.
Ya mean like "the Gem State"?
We’re full of Cali people here. Me being one of them, I run into so many people from Cali BUT We ARE a red state unlike commiefornia with that evil doer y’all have as a so called governor which is in there by the cheating that goes on in politics over there. We also carry guns here and we don’t mess around with thief’s here that are very full of in commiefornia. Please if you move here don’t bring that with you. We have voter ID here as well.
Born and raised in boise. Building homes here as well. A few years ago I finally had saved up some money and was getting ready to buy a house. The housing market has taken such a insane climb and people from California buy up and house and don’t question the price. Houses worth 300-400k are going for 800-900k and being bought cash. Not to mention most out of staters that move here hold this sense of entitlement that most natives can agree on. Hate to say it but most the time we can sniff out California implants and tend to stay away. Enjoy the scenery and everything Idaho has to offer. We have all worked hard to keep Idaho the beautiful place it is. If you do come, please Vote Red, we’d hate to see Idaho turn into dirty hobo needle California 2.0
It’s too bad, abut at the end of the day people can do whatever they want it’s America.
Organize & Mansonize, Calishitwads will.LEAVE !!!!!!
If your a democrat stay out of Idaho.
And that attitude won't get you anywhere in Idaho@@nathanf5102
Your. You're. If you cannot spell, stay out of Idaho.
We're in Northern California and debated moving to Idaho, but compared to where we live, we can't afford it. We love Nor Cal (outdoors, great climate, mtns, rural, conservative), but our votes just can't count in this state. Idaho is definitely high on our list, but getting priced out right now.
Yeah that’s not happening. I will move to California and still vote red, but I don’t want to join other state with backward laws.
I’m in Santa Cruz.. need to fix that. Too packed. Need rural, conservative, slow, etc. where are y’all?
Creative: I lived in Norcal from the early 60s thru 80s, and it was still conservative. Then we started getting Socal people moving in, and the whole area turned to shit unless you went to the far north of CA.
I grew up in the east SF Bay Area and moved to Sonoma County around '60. Then it turned into the "wine country," and there went the neighborhood!
Waited too long
Good to hear...
It just baffles me that so many people would pack up and move somewhere that isn't set up for the number of people moving there yet they go anyhow. Then wonder why people are upset.
In Cda..We're a tourist town so we're used to having more people in the summer. We work extra hours all summer because in winter hours are going to go way down. Lots of people work seasonally. Our wages were lower but our first of living was as well. Now the prices have made it very difficult to survive much less buy a home here.
I have been in my apartment complex for about 4 years now. It was recently sold to out-of-state investors who don't even live here. They saw it as a big money maker because the rent is so low. They paid over 3 times the price as the previous owners. When I moved here my rent was $825. For being an older apartment complex that was actually a bit steep but it's not far from my elderly inlaws so i can be close enough to help them when needed. I had left a really bad relationship and it was perfect for me to save up to buy a house. Not long after i moved in here the rent went up for anyone moving in to $1,000. Steep but manageable. Now a year later only 3 out of 12 apartments have tenants. Slowly given 30 day notices every month. We hear that they are fixing them up a bit and going to raise the rent to $1500 a month. For people barely making it at $1,000 this is sad. One tenant who has to be out by tomorrow has been in this complex for 15 years. She's diabled, on a fixed lower income and requires an oxygen tank to live. She has no vehicle and the housing assistance programs no longer even have a waitlist. They don't care. 30 days and no extention. She had been out on a two year lease by the prior owners. Her prior year to year lease was still in her file though so the new management isn't honoring her 2 year lease.
That's awful.
I worked customer service for many years. Between covid and so many people moving here i honestly couldn't do it anymore. We were being overworked so that people could stay at home and get paid me than we were. More people called in sick than not. Then i got sick myself and was so run down it was almost 6 weeks before i was better. It ate up my savings to survive the unpaid time off. i quit my job for one that deals with less people i live it but it's also seasonal. It was the best for my sanity though. I will probably get my 30 day notice if either rent increase or to move out. I can sustain for maybe a month with my savings with where I'm at now. I have no idea how i will get money to move elsewhere.. Buying a house for someone like me that's starting over is now impossible. It used to be that if you had a job and paid your bills then you would have a roof over your head. Now I'm not so sure..
Here's an example. This house listed. It's a tiny little starter house built in 1927 good for someone like me just looking for a place to call their own home. In 2012 the tax assessment was 44k... in 2022 ten years later it's up to 227k. The income here didn't go up, the house probably hadn't had much done to it etc. It's for sale at 295k like that's done sort of bargain. That's a huge jump for around here. Living down in California you make a lot more money. Those of us making less than $20 an hour can no longer rent a place much less buy. So bringing that money here just to outprice us and destroy our quiet town is so harsh. The worst of it is i don't see it ever going back to "normal" here. I suddenly feel like i live in a completely different place and i didn't go anywhere.
I know we are barely surviving now. Prices are so high
We work in the woods, and we love America. We can survive, without any help.
Hahahaahah I cannot stop laughing. Being from missouri it’s so funny to hear you guys be mystified by crocs and mullets 😂😂😂 you guys are so funny.
Haha what are the odds that my name is Haley, born and raised in San Jose, CA, my family all moved to Coeur D’Alene 23 years ago and I now live in Charleston.😂 Most of my family lives there still except some extended family that lives in and around Pala, CA.
Pretty wild if you ask me! So many people have been moving to northern idaho though so now it’s super crowded. The winters are rough so hopefully you can stick those out! It’s a beautiful place to be for sure. All of my husband’s family lives near Lewiston too.
People saying their state is full is so rude. Your state is not full, there is plenty of room everywhere. If you don’t want people moving within a certain distance of you, buy that land around you and be secluded.
We moved from Seattle area to N Charleston in February. Definitely been a really rough year for us, more than we anticipated. But there's good things here. Good luck on your move! I've been to Couer D'Alene, it was nice. Thanks for all the mom time-saving ideas.
I don’t know much about Idaho, but it seems beautiful. As for Canada, it is a common misconception to think that everywhere in Canada has freezing temperatures and an abundance of snow during the winter season. Victoria, BC has beaches, palm trees, temperate weather and rarely gets snow. There are a few similar cities in Canada.
I love Victoria
and You've Got a FLAMING HOMO JUSTIN TRUDEAU WITH AN TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT !!!!!@@
Palm trees maybe indoors
@@dano1234v My father lives there and yes there are palm trees and they are outdoors.
This feels like the right format for you 2. Sorry i just knew of the podcast today. This is good. Congrats Hayley & Doug
thanks Marri!
It's amazing that people who go from California to Idaho speak about how much cheaper the homes are.. I looked at the real estate in Coeur D alene, and it is cheaper than California to be sure.... but here in Central Missouri, home are a good 50-75K cheaper than Idaho.
Native Idahoan here. What used to be 30,000 dollar homes are now half a million dollar homes and you don't get much. Too many Californians move here and aren't satisfied with low-wages and get into construction, development, and real-estate.
@@coyotedustYep. They've screwed up living costs.
Same in Mississippi lol
If you tell Idahoans you escaped from Commiefornia while open carrying your pistol, and share that Christ brought you here, you’ll be welcomed with open arms.
Excellent explanation.
Haha true
No you won't. Sincerely, an Idahoan.
Only transplants have that dissolution.
Not really
I’m replying to an excellent explanation is how God So , So Loves you and he put you here for a reason and can I Have the right and privilege to give you all a word of Wisdom from the prophecy of Isiah 41: 4: Who Hath wrought and done it , calling the generations From The beginning ? I the Lord , The first and the Last ; I am he. --(that is So Exciting and special to me. To know this is so good as God is to me - like also Jn. 17: 18;- As thou hast Sent me into the world ,even so have I Sent Them into the world. -( So my comment is What are You here for ? If God prayed for those Who would Believe than hear him first ….
As an idahoan native I can tell you that most of us see Californians like Walmart... They come in and run the mom n pop stores out of business and then push ideologies the local population doesn't agree with. I suggest anyone wanting to move to another state to understand that you're moving to their home, their community and you need to acclamate to that new way of living instead of bringing the problems your leaving with you. It matters not where you're from but whom you want to become...be humble and kind.
Welcome to Idaho!!! Ignore the people who aren’t welcoming!! They migrated here too and moved here for a reason!! Welcome!!! Welcome!! WELCOME!!
I’ve never considered moving to Idaho but you guys make it sound amazing 😂 my family home base where I consider “home” is in upper Michigan on a lake but the mosquitos are wild up there, so a beautiful lake with no mosquitos?! I’m sold! I love this content by the way, keep it comin 🙂
Oh trust me, there are mosquitos!!!
Oh the mosquitoes here will EAT YOU UP!! Bring your citronella LOL
I can affirm.. plenty of mosquitoes in Idaho.
There aren’t much mosquitoes unless you are really out in the nature! Have some bug spray and you will be fine
Omg I have LOVED hearing your experience in Idaho, Idaho has some of the most beautiful places on earth, but western Idaho doesn't win the beauty contest, go look up Eastern Idaho too, you're so close to grand teton national park and Yellowstone over there, that's where I'm from. I was hoping I'd see you randomly when you were in Boise lol, glad you had a good time! A lot of our neighbors are from CA and I think we just all hate how much prices have gone up more than where people are moving from.
Well said. It's the increase in housing costs.
Sending you hugs from Australia, always nice to see you all.
If you move there, contribute to the community please. Not politics, but more humanitarian contributions. Idaho is really a hidden gem, and very rugged. Thank you for your time.
Awesome suggestion respectfully given. Idaho is a hidden gem. Great people and so clean.
As someone who has been in southern California for 15 years, and has friends who are getting tired of it (some of whom have already left) people who want to leave California hate the politics and policies here and lack of certain freedoms, which is why they want to leave. They want to be around more people like YOU. Where there IS a sense of community and a sense of what America SHOULD be like.
Leave the crazy nonsense in Cali
It sucks. The people are daft.
@@komorunot in Twin Falls. Not with the Mormons.
Absolutely horrified that termites were falling on you while you slept LOLL no wonder you moved from there 😂😂 loved this tho I have zero plans to move but following along with this has been so interesting!!
lol Becca what are you doing in here hahhah
🙌🏽 North Idaho here. So many thoughts. Definitely a different lifestyle, like you mentioned, lake life and snow sports make it a year round playground. The centennial trail is the local version of Boise’s green belt.
Patriotism is a thing. Trucks are a thing 😂 burley men are a thing too.
And, there is a lot in between that stereotype.
As for the influx of Californians, the cost of living increase is tough for many, the transportation is also tough (our roads aren’t all equipped for the growth-yet), and the population increase without an equivalent workforce increase is something to think on.
Many moving in work online and need services, but are not providing any local services.
Love the people moving in from everywhere. Every person from CA that I’ve met here, has come for exactly what you are describing, values, politics, land, etc. we do have all of those things.
One of the bearded burly men jumped out of his car and bought my coffee today. ❤😂
omg!!! love this comment!
I moved here from NY. I'm excited that there will be jobs everywhere in a few weeks. Places need people so bad, you can get trained for all those jobs people want to get into in other places but you just can't get into (bartending, waitressing etc)
I’m a realtor in Coeur d’ Alene (probably why this was recommended to me) and it’s truly a lovely place. I love the Lake downtown it’s a nice place to hang out and meet people
I love hearing you talk about your experience when you were in Boise. So good!
Love this! You two are so fun. Also it’s not that it’s “full” it’s that it’s not full and we love it that way so we don’t want it becoming the next California 😵💫 We wanna keep it small and keep our values 😅
yes I can see that haha
Also it isn't like "there is tons of open land here, just sitting there". That land is owned by someone. Was being farmed or resting from several years of back to back farming. Just because there isn't a subdivision on it doesn't make it just "open unused land" the land owner can choose to do whatever he/she wants to. Do you see what I am saying?
I appreciate your video. And I think I know who has the gift of gab between the two of you 🙃
Maybe let the Mr have a full paragraph in your talk about Idaho?
Anyway, I’m from SoCal. Moved to Post Falls and worked from there to Sandpoint. It is as you have said. After one year, I have move back here to San Diego county end of last summer for personal reason. As a realtor it may be great news for you that heavy developement of over 4,000 housing units, etc, is in the works...which most folks (people in California language) don’t want. That whole area from CDA to PF to Hayden will be Temecula, Ca in two years. The city planners and council are ignoring the community...what’s left of the native Idahoan that is. It’s goons look like and feel like Spokane, and once gorgeous landscapes on the west side of Cali.
@@Mikaela777 Well.. considering there are so many mountains and wilderness in Idaho... I see there isn't a ton of open land for development... I mean, you can't delete the potato farm to build houses... the potato farms are some of the most important farms in the nation.
@@brockreynolds870 and yet, many farms including potato farms are being plowed under and sold because of the amount of money they can make. People don’t seems to get that when farms are sold out for houses that means less food.
We left north Idaho for Texas almost two years ago, and we’re about ready to head back… 😅 🙏
There's no Jewish life here. Why would you move here?
Our family just moved from San Jose, CA to upstate New York. It’s only been a couple months so we haven’t had to go through winter yet. While there are things I miss about CA (such an easy way of living) it’s so exciting to experience something new and be surrounded by so much nature! Wishing you both the best on your decision and excited to see the journey for your family!
upstate NY is so beautiful!
Why chose the second highest cost of living state
You upgraded from 3rd highest CA to 2nd NY COLA
I moved here from the south gate of Yosemite National Park and I love it!!! The people here are very nice and I've been accepted with open arms. Definitely staying.
In the north you do have about 5 months, or more, of snow from Oct. to as late as May. Most of what you see in videos is just the summer months. Just something people should be aware of.
No matter where you live there is trade offs. Born and lived in Southern California til I was 31. 1990 I moved to Boise,ID lived there until 2015. I moved back to Southern California currently living in a beautiful town. I love the weather here. Didn’t ever get used to winter and “The inversion” in Boise. Pretty much all of our family still lives in Boise and that’s the hardest part about moving away. I’ve learned to not say I will never move back because you never know. There is not a perfect place to live. The grass is not always greener. I guess just live where you are happiest and if thing’s change just move again. Thank goodness we can do that.
Oh cool! We live just outside Star on a little homestead and we were at that hot air balloon festival in downtown Boise that day too! Wish we could have ran into you guys 🤗
My family moved to Boise 3 years ago due to work, and I was so excited to leave Alabama, but to my surprise I didn't leave Alabama...
haha!
This video was so funny Hayley describing the men lol was hilarious. 🤣 I married one of those men lol they can fix and build anything around the house. He doesn't wear Eagle or carry the flag though lol. In less than 3 months we're moving from California as well. Before the economy even gets better it will get worse so growing, preserving food and being close to family are what we looked for. I want 2-3 chickens too and a dog lol. I'm sure you guys will find your right home. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Ok, here is the thing about chickens....each chicken only lays and egg every 2 to 3 days. The first year will be the best laying time for them, then it slows down considerably. Also a chicken stops laying eggs when the temperature hits roughly 93 degrees. They won't resume until the temperature drops below that. They also stop laying from beginning of October until about March. Even though you do have to feed them 12 months out of the year to keep them alive 😅. So depending how many eggs you need a week for cooking and baking a family of four will need about 10 chickens minimum otherwise they just are adorable pets, and they truly are adorable. But you will still have to be buying coop bedding, cleaning out the coop (chicken poop is no joke, they each poop about half the size of an egg every 4 minutes) and buying food, treating them for scaly leg mites etc. So just know that 2 to 3 chickens is totally unrealistic unless they are purely for pets.
@@Mikaela777 Thank you Mikaela for the information. Very helpful. I have a few friends that have left a city lifestyle for a farming homestead way of living. I've seen how much work it entails although they love it. My reasons for only wanting 2-3 chickens are just for pets and they're very helpful to have with gardening. I do agree chickens are adorable. 😍 I'm a vegan so I don't eat meat, eggs or dairy. 😊
We almost moved to CDA from Temecula, but there were too many Californians. 🤣 SO glad we chose the Midwest hobby farm life. I would advise any Californian to NOT follow the crowd. The crowd ruins it. Pave your own way, and bring your manners.🤠
Grew up near the state line of WA /CA and thought I would never leave. Ended up up Colorado for 35 year, and now that we are retired, we live near Lake Tahoe. I would move to Coeur d’Alene in a heartbeat! Such a beautiful place. Spokane has International airport, so it’s easy to get in and out of. And guys, trust me, there ARE mosquitoes! Love that part of the world. Would love to go back there over CA! Too high taxes. Too nasty politics! Too high prices. Good vid! Thanks
Anymore then 1 person per acre, is too populated. Just sayin
The cities are in fairly flat areas.
Southern Idaho is very different from the North. The land is more scrubby, and tough, and irrigated in the south. In the north, not irrigated, more green, more trees.
61% of Idaho is public land-
And yes we have deer everywhere.
That’s how FL got where I live in Sarasota, it’s sooo expensive to live here now bc so many rich people moved here. Even physical therapists don’t get paid enough to even rent a house here. Little dumpy houses go for like $400,000. It’s gotten so crazy here. I was born here and still here (38 years old). We wanna move to NE Alabama where no one wants to be lol. Much cheaper and hopefully it’ll stay non-busy and non packed with people.
My kids, born and raised here, are starting to leave our home, going out on their own, and they can hardly afford rent, and buying a house is out of the picture. The influx of people is really hurting our kids. That's just one of many effects of the droves of people coming here, which is why we say it's full. We love our Idaho.
The population has not been updated in a long time. It's so much more than that.
And Cd'A is NOT on the border of Canada. Canada is a 2 hour drive north.
Southern CA is a world of its own. The rest of the country doesn’t put the emphasis on their appearance that So Cal does. I have friends in Tennessee, Virginia, Michigan… when people from Southern CA move there, they’re always surprised to see them “dressed up” in their designer clothes for everything from school drop off to Walmart. 😂
Lol. So true!!
Living in Southern California for 15 years, and I have never seen that, and I've lived in Hollywood, I've lived in NYC, I've lived by the beach, I've lived in Downtown LA. Some hollywood types MAYBE. But Hollywood is very superficial. There is soooo much diversity within southern California, and the area is as diverse as snowy mountains of Wrightwood to the barren deserts of Lucerne Valley to the farmland east of Temecula wine country. You can't generalize based on what you see in "Hollywood". There's lots of super laid back surfer types here and skaters/potheads.
I haven’t seen anyone in LA or anywhere else dressed designer in many many years and Ive lived here for over 30 yrs. People wear flip
Flops to church and restaurants. When I moved here from New York City I was actually very shocked as to how casual people dress here. I was totally overdressed for the state when I moved here. I have yet to see people wearing nice coats and boots, it’s just doesn’t happen here.
Soul: I was born and raised in N. CA and the people from and in S. CA are a whole different breed and we never liked them. They always looked down on us as being a bunch of hicks and had that 'superior' attitude.
BTW, I have cousins born and raised in the LA area, and they were the same towards me. Hick cousin from up north!
Iim saying 85% of idahoians dont care if your from California as long as you leave California politics there and dont try to changes things here. Idaho was a state of physical labor (except Boise) so there are a lot of backwoods looking people here who run around in work close. You would also learn in 90& of the state your first vehicle is a big 4X4 because of the weather. Most ladies also drive a 4wd of somekind.
Writing before finishing the podcast but did you share clips of videos of how Idaho look the scenery etc??
I have lived in Idaho most of my life, and my husband was born and raised in Idaho. The amount of animosity Idahoans have for Californians is so sad. Most people in Idaho pride themselves on being so kind but once they hear you are from California everything changes.
Also about the bugs, it definitely depends on where you are. In the city there are not going to be as many bugs, but by a body of water or in the woods they are much more prevalent. And flies are by all the fields and dairy farms.
ooo I can see that!
In the city they spray poison in the air to kill the mosquitoes, otherwise they would be there too.
We bought a retirement home in the silver valley,every one we met was and is great,we’re from a small conservative Northern California town, we are moving because we fell in love with the people and the nature of north Idaho. It’s like it was in our town 30 years ago,but the homeless and “immigrants” have ruined it and the cost of living is getting out of hand
very cool....eagle with 2 acres plus a few horses or twin falls...i live in Aliso Viejo...Heard 5 sirens today and 20 years ago that would not have happened...enjoyed your video...
Why not Florida? Or Hungary? Honestly I can’t see you guys being happy anywhere except California. Good luck.
We get 60-70 inches of snow in Coeur d’Alene. I’ve lived here 13 years. The snow in Coeur d’Alene isn’t that bad. Outside the city it gets worse. Also, fyi I’ve never seen a bear, and I’ve only seen one moose.
I see that this episode was posted a year ago, but I just viewed it. I was wondering if you did in fact ever move to Idaho, I moved to Boise from San Clemente back in 2008.
Love y’all and these types of videos where you discuss and banter back n forth, I always feel like I’m hanging out with friends:) I think y’all need to be outside a larger city on some land. I lived in OC ten years and grew up in Houston however so living back in the south among humidity and bugs wasn’t too much of an adjustment for me. Really it’s just the summer, fall spring and winter are pretty great. If you can push past those things you’d probably like living on the outside of Atlanta like we do. There are great pockets of areas here, tons of things to do because we live near a legit metroplex but when you get out of town you truly get out!
Other places, Raleigh NC or a coastal NC town…Outside of Denver near CO springs possibly or ofcourse I personally love Charleston but you guys know all about it❤️Keep us in the loop, enjoy this kind of content and keeping up with your sweet fam.
Please let him speak, she interrupts too much.
I grew up in S. Ca. Moved to Idaho 1989. It was a culture shock the first 6 years mostly because of the weather and how long winter is. But I have grown to love it and it’s very sad the mentality that comes out of California living. So shallow and materialistic and listening to these two that hasn’t changed.
Ok so... all I have to say is this, once you are used to living near the BEACH, it is *very* difficult to lose that. I speak from personal experience and I have lived in Santa Cruz, CA and Charleston , SC as well as New Mexico and SW Colorado.
How is the life in Charleston.. I am looking to move
welcome to Idaho. we love our fishing hunting, out doors & our laws and we like to keep it that way.
Thanks for the termite info! Def won’t be moving to Charleston haha
Hi lovely to see ye both ❤️ coming from someone living in west cork Ireland,, this was so interesting to to listen to about bugs etc , especially as I go only to Spain and get eaten alive 😂😂💝
They spray highly poisonous toxic chemicals in the air while we sleep each and every night all summer long here in Idaho within city limits. I live here, I know. So yes there are gazillions of mosquitos.
So you never finished the story about the old man??? Did you know that three years ago, where you are in this video... the entire town showed up fully armed when BLM and ANTIFA showed up? Yeah, nothing happened there. They ain't playin with ya. Much respect!! Kentucky girl here. I got nothing but woods lol however we do have a ton of bugs lol.
That was sad and funny at the same time.
@@jdarst100 Nothing sad about it.
I had to laugh when you said Coeur d'Alene didn't have things to do. It's a resort area that people come from all over to stay at. Spokane is only 30 mins away and is 300k people. I lived in the SF Bay Area and I feel like we are missing nothing since living here.
I'll have to agree, I just got back from there and as beautiful as it was, I found there wasn't much to do outside of Sherman Ave and the lake. Maybe I missed a whole entire part of the city. I do love it there though!
I'm legit on the border of Canada XD coure d' alene is 3 hours from it lol. You guys crack me up haha but yes it's closer than Cali for sure.
i saw your DM!
Outprice us? We just don't want Californians , stay in orange county! Leave Idaho alone;
Did you guys move to CDA? That’s my hometown. I wanted to touch on the snow…incase you guys haven’t already found out for yourselves…everyone there knows how to drive in the snow. Everyone has a snowblower or a plow on their truck. So really it’s not as bad as you might imagine. Growing up in downtown CDA we would get a good 8-10 inches in one storm. But we still went to school! lol You just deal with it and push through. It’s a different world that’s for sure. But everyone helps everyone out. Put some sandbags in the back of your car or truck and you’re good to go
Colorado is where ALL Californias need to go Not Idaho. We Love God here.
What about California's who want to move there because they think California is godless? Will i still get disdain? Not looking to change a place, looking for a place that a better fit, if that makes sense
@@Veangent I know some good transplants, they just quit saying where they are from. People have very little attitude except not being able to buy a house where they grew up.
The people moving to Idaho aren’t the one’s pricing out the locals,it’s the locals selling the land they set the price of the land.
Right! I just made this same comment. they didn’t decide to sell out originally, then prices would have stayed the same. It’s the locals that first decided to ACCEPT these offers..and it snowballed from there.
I meant IF they didn’t decide to sell out…
Thanks for mentioning that, it's the truth the locals have no problem taking the out of state money.
Markets set the price usually people have contingencies to afford the next place.
Must Idaho natives choosing to sell are moving out of the area.
My parents sold their place in meridian and built a house on top of a mountain to get away from Boise and the influx of outsiders
I could put a blindfold on and instantly tell you're from California,can't start it finish a sentence without,"it's like,I'm like ," . Go back.
I think it's so funny because that's how I feel about New Yorkers and other people moving to Florida. I'm like **eye roll** stop moving here lol.
Gotta love that state. Pure freedom 🇺🇸
Yes it is and we want to keep it that way.
born and raised in OC....
tried to leave So Cal a couple times, but moved back within a year for work/family, etc
Favorite was AZ... maybe 20 years ago... LOVED it.
But, like i said... had to move back for various reasons.
finally... successfully fled So Cal in 2020.... went to AZ.
(no family left in CA)
Quickly learned AZ's days are numbered, too many Californian's moved here who are voting for the same things that made them leave.... they just don't learn.
They did to AZ exactly what Idahoans are afraid of. Exactly what I was afraid of....
So, just sold our home... To a family moving form california.... We're Headed to North Idaho.
(VERY happy that my license plate and ID are AZ not California... though, I plan to change that in the first week or 2 anyway)
Please, anyone reading this.... for the love of god, if you move somewhere...don't vote for what you are leaving.
You wanted to move there becasue of what it is... don't turn it into what you left.
Perhaps the people who made it what you wanted, what you decided to move to.... know better than you, how to keep it that way.
---watching further---
"to you it might seem over populated, but to us it doesn't... I don't think there is a right and wrong"
No... there is...
you like it because of the way the locals made it... so they are right... and you are wrong.
And no, I'm not trying to be a jerk.... I just know why I left So Cal.
Amen
When people say that “Idaho is full”, they don’t mean that Idaho doesn’t have the space to accommodate more people, they mean they don’t want to accommodate more people, and who can blame them? California is congested. When my grandparents grew up in San Bernardino in the 30s and 40s, it was safe, quiet and beautiful; probably very similar to Idaho in a lot of ways. In 70 years, it’s become a cesspool. Idahoans don’t want Idaho to go the way of California, and it’s completely reasonable.
Stuck in hell in IL over here and I think you’ve convinced me to move my family to Idaho 😂 🇺🇸
Oh geez! It’s a beautiful place but most Idahoans don’t take kindly to newcomers. Generally though, northern Idaho is more safe than southern Idaho if you are planning to move. Twin falls is especially beautiful 😊
It's not because we're a-holes. We just don't want anyone else moving here when there is no more room here with the roads etc not being set up for it. Be prepared as well... housing is ridiculously expensive here these days and the wages aren't. So, hope you have a lot saved up unless you work remotely and can keep your high paying job that you've had... those of us that didn't have high paying jobs and million dollar homes are now screwed
My husband grew up in Lake in the Hills IL and we live in Coeur d'Alene. He was here first. I moved here to marry him.
Right you not " "holes we actually like the locals it's just those greedy pesky real estate agents that keep pushing the idea that Idaho is the place to be. Their all over the inet.
No no no WE ARE ASSHOLES. We fucking HATE you. Why move where people hate you? DO NOT COME HERE. You will not find friends.
So I was born and raised in Coeur d'Alene Idaho. And the biggest problem that we have with Californians is there not willing to learn. Coeur d'Alene Idaho along with all the way up to Bonners ferry is a whole different way of living. You have to learn to learn live here. If you do move here I do urge you to get in a church with a lot of locals in it. and then listen to them we may give you advice on how to drive in the snow or how to live in the woods. The biggest problem that we run into here are Californians not being prepared for the surroundings. What can be a beautiful 50 degree spring day can suddenly turn to snow and 19 degrees over night. Or you can go out in the morning and have a beautiful afternoon and suddenly have thunderstorms in the evening causing forest forost fires. The thing to remember is to always keep an eye on your seraindings. And if you're not sure do what the locals tell you to do or do what you see them doing.
I was born in California and raised in Coeur d’ Alene, it really is beautiful, and an amazing to place. Some people are rude if you tell them you are from California though.
haha i can see that! people are rude in CA soooo we're used to it lol not everyone though
It sounds normal for most people who move to Montana. I think it is funny how some people would think Montana is like California or Washington.
No mullets is like a thing right now for the teens I think lol it’s all over. I live in indiana and and I’ve seen it and I’ve seen it on tiktok and social media. I could be wrong but I think it’s a whole thing that’s happening
Yes mullets here in Florida too lol it’s the new trend and…it’s hideous haha
my sister told me this and she is in TN! :O
It's in the OC too. My son had it for a bit and my other has the crocs 😆
Mullets in our small town in Australia ! 😬I didn’t think that it would ever come back , like beehives .
Emily Morgan and@@BlackStump172 I'm a Kiwi who lives in Brisbane and can assure you that mullets are definitely back here as well!
I saw more than enough of them in the 70s and 80s, but the teenagers and young people of today weren't born then, so I've forgiven them. ☺
From Central Valley in CA and we ALL hate when Bay Area folks move her.
But it’s happening and there’s nothing we can do about it.
Folks need to move wherever they want to.
💯💖🙏
So 100 miles from the border is on the Canadian border. Come up here in Winter. In about another month it will start getting dark at 3:30 -4:00 PM. The sun won't rise till after 8:00 AM.
The Valley Girl attitude will not play well here ( I hope it's an act). Idaho is beautiful but you only saw the "California tourist" part of Idaho. (Treasure valley, CDA, and Boise.) Rent a car and drive from Boise to CDA and beyond. You will see Idaho.
I was born in North Central Idaho. I lived in California for 30 years and couldn't wait to get out of there. I decided to come back here when I retired. I took a lot of crap from some of the people here because "I was from California." Be careful. One last thing the unofficial motto of Idaho is do no harm, but take no sh*t! These folks up here will help you but they also will not take any crap.😀
What about the weather.. it’s totally different.. plz tell us how u handle cold .. snow
We have a word here for why you have to drive thru another state in order to drive from North to South Idaho. Mountains, Idaho is Mountains and we love it. BTW Close the Gate behind you.
Open land is one of the amazing things about Idaho. The more people that move there the more that diminishes. As an Idahoan, I don’t want a bunch of people to move to Idaho because it being semi-sparsely populated is part of what makes it amazing!
Hey! I have 3 kids the exact same ages. Could u please post more craft projects and kid clean-up content? Also interested in godly mom/home keeper videos
My aunt and her family moved to coeur d'alene, and they are Californian. Maybe some truth to that 😝
Lol, there are definitely trash cans on the greenbelt.
Moving there next year from Cali , this state is getting crazy . God bless Idaho,trump, & 2A .
Yay! you pronounced Boise right!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The out pricing the locals is a very very sore place with us Idahoans.
My young adult kids were born and raised here and can’t live on their own . The economy here never supported the lifestyle that Californians have just to live.
What you have down there financially to just live - is considered rich here. So yes, you’ve created a lot of homeless and struggling native Idahoans. Lots of people living in their cars and even in storage units to get shelter.
So I’m sorry, but you have to take some accountability for blowing up our economy like it’s nothing and hurting real people.
haley you need to let doug talk a bit more before you interject lol
I need to be better about this I'm very aware lol
Uhmm? I was raised in Missouri and after being in the military for thirty years wanted to live somewhere without the humidity and insects of the Midwest and we retired to Idaho Falls and have been here thirty years. When the Realtor handed us the keys he said " I forgot to tell you one thing, set your watch back fifty years" and he wasn't kidding. You would have to go to southern Missouri or Mississippi to find people more ignorant or intolerant. We greatly enjoy the summers and tolerate the winters and mostly keep to ourselves as we are secular types. Best of luck to all of us.
Great video! $800,000 is still quite expensive for a house 😂
yes it is but we are from CA haha
I think it’s funny that you think Coeur d'alene is way out in the wilderness. That’s a very crowded, boujie town. If you want to see massive topography changes drive from Couer to Seattle, 1/2 way there you’ll feel like you’re in Kansas. What you’ll find from most Idahoans regarding Californians - bring your family and money, leave your politics in California!
Population of Idaho State 1.9 (2021). Population of Orange County (CA) 3.168M (2021). Just Los Angeles alone is bigger in population than these three states combined: IOWA STATE (3M), KANSAS STATE (2.9M), NEBRASKA STATE (1.9M).
