what is going on everyone I hope you're all doing really well recently I've been
getting a lot of emails about Boise Idaho and a bunch about being an ahold
of the state of New Jersey my videos I guess it was like two videos out of two
hundred or so and that's what I get the most emails about those two videos let
it go New Jersey but as far as the Boise emails most of the time its Californians
wondering if it's worth it to move there my first reply is always the same thing
it has to be at the be blind know that left California went to the Boise area
it's kind of started to be the hotspot for that whole interstate migration type
thing these days in 2017 the Boise metro area grew 3% making it the number one in
the nation the job growth came in third so that's not too shabby so yes a lot of
people are heading to Idaho state capital of Boise and there's a reason
Boise is growing so fast it's a great city I get a lot of stats from area vibe
and Boise is the only one of all the cities I've ever seen that doesn't get a
D or an F grade in anything all the stats all above DNF sees days it's great
in other words you could pick so many worse places to relocate but like all
places Boise isn't for everyone it might not be
for you so before you rent a u-haul you should watch my top ten reasons not to
move to Boise
number ten other big cities if you're used to living in states like California
or the Seattle area of Washington this may be a bit of a culture shock to you
if you don't have everything you need in Boise chances are you're just out of
luck not like you can drive five minutes over to the next city and get whatever
you're looking for like food restaurant bar whatever the nearest major city
outside of Boise is Pocatello Idaho which is three and a half hours to the
east or you can head down five hours to Salt Lake City it's not like it's very
convenient this is something a friend brought up to me who moved to Boise
about five years ago I'd say he said when it's things like a good place to
eat Mexican food this gets into a problem he said there's several good
ones in Boise so he's lucky but if there wasn't you don't have 200 more to choose
from like say Los Angeles and he said this goes for other places like I said
earlier restaurant bars pizza places if you don't like what they're selling
Boise you're kind of out of luck number nine it's cold Boise is less than five
hundred miles south of the Canadian border
this means it gets cold winter months can see--we under 20 degrees and not
seeing temperatures above freezing until say March or April and stop typing don't
give me some one-off stat and claim that I don't know what I'm talking about
because it was actually twenty-two degrees for most of February last year
something like just stop
number eight the nipple law this city takes nipples very seriously in Boise is
against the law for a woman to have her nipple exposed in strip clubs the
dancers have to cover their nipples and breastfeeding mothers could get a ticket
for breastfeeding her child in public what the hell Boise what's the nipple
ever done to you is this like some law held over from the 1960s when hippies
invaded Boise then you know right away realized they were in Boise and left
toot sweet I don't get that one at all set the nipple free Boise number 7 it
stinks I know I'll get a lot of pushback on
this one from the locals the reason is they're immune to it by now but Boise
smells from the overflowing sewage plants to the 172 landfills Boise is bad
really bad the wind shifted on me once summer day in Boise and my nose got a
whiff of what can only be described as a skunk covered in tar eating garlic yes
it was that bad Boise Idaho may be the worst smelling city in the United States
number 6 the airport the Boise Airport is the absolute worst okay that's a lie
it's the second absolute worst the worst is actually that one in Charleston West
Virginia Yeager airfield that was frickin scary to land in and take off
from it's on a mountain this Airport in Boise sees about 3 million passengers a
year passengers often complain about the cleanliness the size of the airport and
the attitude of the staff according them TSA agents are very inefficient and
unprofessional by the way they work and you can't get a straight flight anywhere
out of Boise except maybe like Vegas and Salt Lake City you almost feel like you
might have to do some crop dusting on your way out
number five delusional locals if you ever want a good laugh read the comments
section of any video I've ever made that includes anything about Idaho you will
see comments that look like this nonsense nonsense liberals nonsense
coming for Nia nonsense more liberals nonsense Libertad nonsense nonsense
nonsense we don't want you here and then they use whatever new catchphrases
currently in fashion this month it's been telling everyone that they're
biased and get it all the time Briggs you're
showing your bias if you've ever typed that in a comment section remember one
thing everyone on the planet has bias to their point of view that's just a fact
and stop typing I'm not a news channel or a journalist I don't have some
professional responsibility to be neutral I'm just a dude that makes
videos and travels anyway basically they aren't pleased that you have money and
can outspend them in real estate so make sure you have a good real estate agent a
mortgage all lined up and buy something in Idaho anger the locals number four
public transportation public transportation in the city is the
absolute worst actually calling it public transportation is an insult to
wagon trains from the 1800s the city only has a public bus system which
doesn't run after 6 p.m. or at all on Sundays unless you work Monday through
Friday 9:00 to 5:00 or you have your own way to and from work you're pretty much
screwed and celebrating Shabbos every day you work Walter doesn't roll on
Shabbos
number three it's dry Boise is a very dry city it's almost desert like not a
lot of rain going on here the most the city gets is about two inches around
December just like my cousin's wife while all the summer months combined
they'll see as little as a half an inch it may be a good idea to stock up on the
humidifiers of you're moving to Boise even though it's cold a good portion of
the year the Sun gets a little harsh this is the type of place you need to
have some serious skincare going on or you'll age quit nothing like having a
conversation with someone at Starbucks and they ask you how many grandkids you
have and you look at them say I'm only 24 number two it's a red state Boise is
part of a very Republican state now I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad
thing it's just something to keep in mind when you relocate or even visit
Boise residents here are also not afraid to speak their mind about their
political views and not afraid to ask you about yours
be prepared I'm not saying that's good thing or bad thing both parties have
their ups and their downs their pros of their cons or yen's of their yang's in
Boise Idaho not many people see it that way
it's a Republican or Nothing and number one air quality deer quality isn't good
and Boise since the city is in a valley the cold air settles while the warm air
stays above trapping the pollution in making the air toxic for the residents
now before you do stop typing it isn't the worst in the country and I get it
it's not as bad as Los Angeles where every breath is like taking a bong
ripoff an idling 1972 Mercury Marquis but for the size of its population and
no other major cities around it to contribute to the poor air quality it's
bad the city is also growing at a good rate which only means it's going to get
worse air quality is one of the major stats people are looking for when
they're thinking about relocating it's just a fact all right so that's my top
10 reasons not to move to Boise Idaho I hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got
some information out of it Boise is a really great city it was hard to come up
with legitimate reasons they have some but it wasn't easy
it's a good city to move to that's why people are moving there
but I hope you enjoyed the video don't forget all the links below everybody
have a great day be nice to each other
