‘Go back to California’: Wave of newcomers fuels backlash in Boise

BOISE, Idaho —

This city sure knows how to roll up the welcome mat — that is, if you happen to move here from California.

Just consider last week’s mayoral election. It was the most competitive race in recent memory, a referendum on growth in the rapidly expanding capital of Idaho. And candidate Wayne Richey ran on a very simple platform: Stop the California invasion.

His basic plan to fulfill that campaign promise? “Trash the place.”

Richey figured that would be the best way to keep deep-pocketed Golden Staters from moving to his leafy hometown. He blames them for pushing home prices and rents up so high that Boiseans can’t afford to live here on the meager wages most Idaho jobs pay.

At a candidate forum in late October, he had a terse answer for the question: “If you were king or queen for the day, what one thing would you do to improve Boise?”

“A $26-billion wall,” he said, laughing, drawing out each word for maximum emphasis. As in build one. Around Idaho. "

The Californians are FLEEING THE CATSTROPHE (that is California) THEY VOTED FOR, and will then , IDIOTICALLY, SET ABOUT TRYING TO DO THE SAME ANYWHERE THEY SETTLE...
 
Interesting. There's been a big backlash against Californians in Portland for quite awhile as well. Anyone who has owned a home in California for a period of time and sold it can move almost anywhere and buy a new place all cash. If i'm a home owner in a place where people are moving to and my property values go up that's a good thing. But it can change the neighborhood.

Looks like Boise Idahoans are broke as fuck. "He blames them for pushing home prices and rents up so high that Boiseans can’t afford to live here on the meager wages most Idaho jobs pay."
 
Interesting option:

"One salvo in Richey’s battle against newcomers was his property tax proposal, which he called Proposition Zero One Two Three. His basic tenet: The longer you live here, the less you pay. Sixty-year residents would pay no property taxes, while newcomers would shoulder the burden.

“This gives much needed relief to longtime residents and forces new people to pay their share,” he said on his Facebook page. “Maybe it just might make them think twice about moving here. It would also discourage out-of-state investors.”"

Our federal taxes should be based on this.

As always you take a short sided view of things.

I looked up Wayne Richey.

A typical Trumptard. Car mechanic. Uniformed on every issue except “stop the immigrants”. He wants to trash a beautiful city just to keep others out. A stupid fuck on your level.

BTW, he got 847 votes and his ass handed to him.

dumber76. I lived there for a little while but wizened up and moved to Ketchikan, Alaska. Too many fucking mormons in Boise.

lol

Boise has one of the lowest populations of Mormons in the state. What was your problem, cunt?

Refused service? Couldn’t get a beer on Sunday? Had to go to Oregon for your weed?

Good for you. Constant rain. You have to take a boat or plane to go farther than 32 miles. :rofl2:

Let’s see, Ketchikan has a higher crime rate, higher unemployment, higher cost of living, and more miserable weather.

Boise violent crime is 16.3. (The US average is 22.7)
Boise property crime is 34.2. (The US average is 35.4)
106.7 cost of living
Unemployment 2.3
Comfort index 7.3/10

Ketchikan

Unemployment 6.2
Comfort index 5.6/10
Ketchikan violent crime is 26.4. (The US average is 22.7)
Ketchikan property crime is 50.3. (The US average is 35.4)
Cost of living 115.

You’re just not very bright. And only because of the Mormons. Guess what, idiot? You have Mormons in Ketchikan

He’s a fucking auto body monkey. Just another RW Trumptard bitching about his lot in life because he’s fucking stupid and wants to blame everybody and anybody else.

He got 847 votes and got his ass kicked.

You’re as much a fool as he is.

Stupid shit like that, extreme xenophobia, is why he got his ass kicked in the election.

Car body tard. Angry at his lot in life. Typical Trumptard. Always someone else’s fault.
