We've gotten a LOT of Californians here. The city I live in (just west of 
Boise) was, for a couple years, the fastest growing city in the country. 
Mostly because of the influx Californians (plus some from Seattle and 
Portland). Mostly they want to get out of the Woke shitholes they were 
living in. The biggest downside is that they've driven the price of housing 
way up. But I can't blame them for wanting to get out of California.
