Cool. So was my wife. Y'all probably went to the same HS. Maybe even knew the same people.

She doesn't want to move back to Alex anytime soon, but I'm quite certain she would find your posts the same as me.

Well, you're not your wife. My wife was also raised in the city. Close to Jackson street. Her feelings are similar to mine about the city.

And that's a fine opinion you have. I think I'll stick with mine, though.

Enjoy Boise. I'm genuinely jealous.

there is something a little bit special about cenla in terms of how awful it is.

Bc there’s nothing there but it’s just as bad as the bigger cities?

It like there’s this certain culture or group of people that seem to create the same kind of problems no matter where they are.

That video sums up a huge problem and LBJ would be proud because his plan worked better than he could have ever imagined.

Didn’t realize Ellick turned into Somalia after midnight. Only a couple miles from the house. Gross.




They think this is normal to convene on a gas station at 1:30 in the morning they think its perfectly normal to act like thugs.

It's not all roses here. It's mostly roses, but Idaho has its own strange quirks. Nothing like what's in that video.

Mostly just high rent prices

Idaho is high on my list of potential moving places. If we stay in the south we are looking into the new braunfels tx area maybe. 5-6 more years and I’m putting this dumpster fire in my rear view.

Prob a mile or less from high point. Georges lane is on the shitty side of Jackson street. Every house on George’s is a mil+ but it’s in a shite part of town. I wouldn’t trade my house for one of those big time baller houses on georges just bc of the location.

Idaho’s quirks are perks for some people that have to live in Louisiana for the time being.

This is why there's a mass exodus across the Red River. As bad as this looks, Pineville, Kolin, Tioga, Ball are some of the best places to live in Louisiana. I bought 12 acres outside of Pineville, technically Kolin. I built a house here and don't miss anything about BR. But Ellic gets worse and worse every year...pretty much like every town in the southern US.

Yep. All the rapid reproducing for extra food stamp $$ is creating quite the culture around the south. It’s sad to see the insane decline.
