The real question is will they bring their voting problems there too?

Got a bunch of friends in NV. About 75% vote the same way they did when in HI (DNC).

When I was still working in the high tech industry my wife and I considered moving to Boise as they have been courting high tech companies for many years. And one of the companies that my last tech job worked with moved their company to Boise. I probably could have moved there with a job. It is also a lot closer to where one of my brothers live compared to SoCal.

But instead I quit high tech and went back to construction and moved to the Big Island.
SCIENCE THAT CAN’T BE QUESTIONED IS PROPAGANDA!!!

Don't forget the blue football field.

HI people are so hypocritical. Here's 1 example,when Bosie left the WAC to go MW for football, lots of people bashed them.  Only to have UH do the same thing and crickets.

Another good thing abotu Boise is the bodybuilding.com HQ is there.

My wife worries about winters in Arizona, Idaho would be far out of the question.
Hard to imagine anyone that has lived in Hawaii for long moving there.

When Andrew Corp bought out the company I was working for, they offered to relocate a few of us from SoCal to their HQ south of Chicago for a trial run to see how it was.
Every one of them came back after one winter.

I have family in the Portland and Idaho areas.
I can say that Democrats are destroying Idaho.
The biggest problem in America today is the dominance of large cities
over an entire state,  Federally the electoral college
was designed to combat that problem.  But states as far as
I know have no such protections.
In Hawaii we are ruled by Honolulu.  Idaho is ruled by Boise.
Seattle rules WA state, Portland rules Oregon, I could go on.
The beauty of Idaho and Hawaii is they can't afford the
government the cities vote for.

I can’t speak about Tucson since I have never lived there. I can only comment on what this last winter was like here. Both of my neighbors told me this last winter was probably the worst they have seen since moving here. One has been here 3 years and the other 9 years. While it was cold most days, I got used to wearing layers. Believe me, I didn’t like it at first. But there were only two days that I didn’t venture outside. One day we were snowed in and by the next day it had melted enough that there were no problems. Plus the county came and plowed the main streets before I even woke up. I went outside on the second day and shoveled my walkway and driveway because I had family coming from SoCal. If I had waited one more day I would not have had to that. But I didn’t know that. So cold, yes. Snow was not much of a factor for anything. If you keep food enough for a week you will be fine. If you watch the weather gal on TV you can go to the store and get last minute groceries if need be. There were a lot of days I didn’t do any work in my garage due to the cold. When my family got here they found a place they could play in the snow that was right around the corner. Other than all that it was interesting living where it snows.

The weather person on TV (Fox Channel 10) and their app have been pretty darn accurate with the weather out here. Mostly because we can see it coming in and the patterns are the same pretty much every year from what they say.

I lived in Boise in the mid 90's and the SoCal Dems were going there in droves. Cheap homes, decent wages and the tech industry was growing huge between MICRON and HP. Lots of growth in the Banana Belt of the Treasure Valley. The blue flu took over Boise and Ada county as well as Coure D'Laine and that area, but the rest of the state is pretty red as they have Const. Carry and very permissive gun and other laws. I loved it up there as a big change from my escape from SoCal.

I have to agree with grovelor as the Dems can ruin a state just by taking over 1 or 2 metro areas. NV, where I lived for 20 years went blue just with Clark County taken over. Texas will be a battleground as they are packing Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Dallas. The largest state we have but sparsely populated in comparison to land area. They already have taken over those cities but not enough to turn the state......yet. They're working on it hard.

It is up to us as the over 30 (and over 50) crowd to push back and educate these kids coming up about the dangers of socialism. We are at the cusp of what can be the end of the USA as a Republic. If the Dems turn 2024 their way way, it will be over.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy.
