I didn’t move to Montana to change things either, but I also don’t complain that people are moving here in droves.

Poverty actually preserved the south. Its our recent wealth that’s destroying the region, and our culture.

I will
Because I understand these people and their relentless desire to destroy.
For the record, natives assume I’m a native too.

You could tell my relator was feeling me out the first time we talked on the phone and met in person.
She said alot of the cash offers they are seeing are California people.
i'm wondering where in particular the CA folks - esp. the cash offers - are coming from?
the exodus from the bay area and silicon valley is partly to more affordable housing in places like the bay exurbs and even further afield (like sacramento).
is the idaho land rush because of people from SoCal? and from where, in particular? i would find it hard to believe that people are leaving malibu and newport beach for boise. a lot of them can already afford second homes there. and i dunno, can people who lived in ontario or riverside really afford cash offers on houses in boise in the current market? the people coming from CA to AZ pre-pandemic were always in it for the lower home prices compared to CA, but they weren't making cash offers.
in a generation, i guess it won't matter much because the treasure valley will have become a transient region like phoenix or las vegas where nobody from there is from there.

I assume it’s consultants and techies. Largely from SF or Silicon Valley. Everyone I know who left California is one or the other.

It’s only a matter of time before they realize there’s a Confederate monument in Montana, and lose their minds

How can you openly complain about people doing the exact thing you did by moving here?

Which monument are you referring to? The one in Helena was removed in 2017. It was the only confederate monument in the northwest.

Maybe those are decent progressive repellents.

I love Idaho. Me and my family would summer in Stanley during the summers when I was a kid. So many fond memories.
Such a neat place. Really want to go back sometime soon.
Haven't been to Boise in a decade but really enjoyed our time there. Seemed like a great city to live in.

No, people from Malibu are not moving to Idaho.
It’s middle class people such as myself. If I sell my home in an LA suburb (1800sq ft and worth about $1m), I can take the equity and pay cash for a similar size home in a Boise suburb and never have to worry about a mortgage.

I’m looking into Boise, meridian and eagle.
I have 2 kids - 5 and 3.
Scheduled to take a trip up there in a month. Can you share some insight on the area?
Can't say I'm an expert in this area as we've only been here for less than 2 years with a significant amount of that time during a pandemic.
My wife wanted a new construction home, and at the time most of the ones that were in our budget were located in Meridian. I never really considered Eagle as houses there were generally more expensive and has worse access to the Interstate. Given that I had to commute to downtown Boise (at the time), I eliminated Eagle from consideration. However, if you're retired or work remotely, Eagle would be great. Close access to the Greenbelt and I think better schools. We don't have kids yet and didn't intend our current home to be a forever home, so that was also not a consideration. I wanted to find something in Boise, but most of the new constructions that were available were not in our price range so we decided to go with Meridian. If I had to go through the home buying process again, we probably would have looked at existing homes in Boise (not that I'm unhappy with the house purchase).
One thing to note, all of the cities that I've lived in in the past have bad/high crime areas. I'm not sure there is a bad part of town with respect to crime. It's by far the safest metropolitan area that I've lived in. It's shifted my perception of "bad" areas from places that have a high crime rate to places with bad commutes.
There are four seasons here:
Ski season
Spring Mountain bike season
River floating season
Fall Mountain bike season

Apparently everyone and their mother is moving to Idaho though.
I’ve heard this. It’s basically what Austin and Nashville were 10 years ago.

Not that anyone cares, but thought I would pass along. We finally closed on Monday--it was delayed 5 days because of title and lenders dealing with multiple closings in the area.
We left Vegas last week, lived in a hotel for about a week. Got keys on Monday and now have everything in the house but still living out of boxes.
The house appraised for a bit over what we paid, so from purchase agreement to lender appraisal it went up.
One neighbor already came over and feeled me out haha. First question was "Coming from California?"
Excited to see what Idaho has to offer. We are giving it 2 years, but I know I will like it. Already enjoying the fact I have a grass backyard and not rocks. And can't reach out my window and touch the neighbors house. Nice to put my fishing poles in the garage and out of storage, as I haven't used them in a few years.

Boise is a shell of itself already. Going back is quite depressing. My dad should have listened to me when I told him to hold on to that green belt property off of Parkcenter that would have been a nice hand me down gift

You should be.
Why would you want Montana to change so dramatically?
