‘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. "

Much more at the link.

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...

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

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.

Haha. This dude is recommending people trash their neighborhood and City to make it less desirable.
