American Thinker-
By Terry Paulding
Last week, I wrote about the beginning of my journey, driving to Boise, Idaho from the San Francisco Bay Area in California. I subsequently spent most of the week exploring the city, where I enjoyed myself very much. I think I would have liked Boise in any event, but what made the trip so eye-opening was being reminded what life is like in a state that hasn’t destroyed itself by embracing squalor and crime while imposing totalitarian restrictions on its law-abiding citizens.
My first impression was that Boise, compared to California, is incredibly clean. I didn’t see any random garbage. The streets weren’t full of potholes. I didn’t see even one homeless person — maybe because the weather is cold this time of year, but also, I suspect, because Boise doesn’t cater to them.
California embraces having indigent addicts running rampant; pays them $600 a month in assistance; and now, in San Francisco, is also planning on giving them their chosen set of drugs and a “safe” place to shoot them up in a “navigation center.”
Stores in Boise are clean and, obviously, have not been picked through by emboldened shoplifters, as is the case in the Bay Area. I didn’t see anyone with an open car trunk, selling random packaged goods lifted from the local grocery or pharmacy, which is, again, a common sight at home.
People were friendly, not wary, in Boise. What a contrast to home! It actually took some getting used to. More here

If enough bastards move to Boise it will be ruined just like the Bay Area.
Here in Nevada our governor parrots California policy.
I’m certain he gives Newsom weekly head.
The dickhead just removed the mask mandate.
I went to the gym today and 30% of the morons were STILL wearing masks…WHILE WORKING OUT!
EVEN ON THE FUCKING TREADMILL!
I do not include Asians in my estimate because, well, those clowns are BORN wearing masks…SMDH!
Terry Paulding should drive around California for a while. The only places that are dirty shit holes (wow, that sounds terrible) is big libtard cities, like where he lives.
Loco, and I live in California and nobody has ever worn a mask in the gyms I belong to.
Fortuitous article for me, Boise (among a few other Idaho cities) is where I have been looking to move, but real estate prices are crazier than here in The Bay Area.
The stuff she mentioned (homeless problem, clean well-maintained streets,crime)
is only part of the picture. I don’t want to see any dopey “Black Lives Matter” and “Hate has no place here” signs, I want to see more American Flags or patriotic images displayed, I want to have my elected state and Fed. representatives sharing my values and not being raving maniacal CRT/Commie sympathizers, but most of all I want to feel safe engaging with people, and if a political opinion slips to not have my house egged or be put on a community watch list.
If the locals would prefer I sign something promising not to vote for a while, I’m OK with that.
Yes, leave Cali and leave your politics. If you are leaving because you ruined your state, don’t bring them with you. I live in Colorado and you have ruined us as well.
Freedom . . . What ever that means
^ It means your pursuit of happiness, Larry. 🙂
I revel in the free life outside of Colorado. I’m a genius for getting out 17 years ago.
“larrytheenlightenedliberal”
Now there’s an oxymoron if I ever heard one.
Humor really does come in many forms.

Freedom . . . What ever that means
It means NOT being ruled over by a phucking liberal.
aircubed – care to tell where you moved? I am looking at various red states, now that I am semi-retired and CO has moved drastically lib
Hey Terry… stay the fuck out of Texas. Thank you very much. FJB
Don’t bring your faggot liberal ways to our RED STATES!
Idaho works for me… 😉
Progressives are filthy, disgusting, subhuman pieces of shit regardless of where they live. They are incapable of basic human decency.
Idaho will go Libtard do to greed. The point I was trying to make in my above comments is that States don’t establish mask mandate protocol. Counties do.
Freedom . . . What ever that means
Larry, Larry Larry… if you don’t know what it means, it means you don’t care!
RogerF,
I left for western KS. Few people want to visit, let alone live here. Perfect for me.
I would look at places people aren’t talking about. Avoid the trending states like Idaho, Texas and Tennessee.
Another failed shithole state
Larry doesn’t understand freedom of choice – it scares him/her.
