    Saw this on Drudge today and thought it relevant. How Boise, ID feels:

    I like the quote “I’m not from Idaho, but I moved here as fast as I could”.

    As far as migrants increasing demand/prices for homes, I have no answer.
    It’s shitty for some, good for others.

    As a migrant, I don’t welcome Californians bringing progressive politics to my home state.

    But given the progressive political leanings of native Texans in big cities, I think folks should be receptive to folks who vote conservatively....the progressive birth rate alone is going to increase their numbers, and we need to counteract it.

    The alternative isn’t pretty...

    Sure a lot of trash talk. I was born in Fort Worth in 1942. I have lived in and around FW except for a few years in the US Army during the 1960's. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't love this great state. My only problem is with those that are moving here to turn us BLUE, And believ me there's a lot trying. SAD/MAD?

    Funny thing about that - I moved here just about half my life ago, and all it took was a brief visit to really know that I never assimilated into the state culture where I was born. I feel I was born Texan, just in another state. The food, the people, the way of life (outside of the cities, that is), the culture all fit me - so here I am.

    Fun fact - I was born WELL north of the Mason Dixon.
    This states the situation very well for both me and my wife. :beer:

    Watched a vid recently that covered birth rates of conservatives and liberals. Conservatives are having children above the replacement rate and liberals below.

    So the left won’t be taking over by birthdate any time soon. Will try to find the vid of you’re interested.

    The conservatives tend to have babies and try to raise them.
    Liberals tend to get pregnant and get an abortion so they can have more fun while complaining about how mean conservatives are for killing the planet by having babies.

    Transplants from other countries are a different story.

    Not just that. Conservatives tend to believe in traditional families. Not all, but a much higher percentage will plan a family around a mother at home with a father working on financial stability.

    As you move left there is an increase in both parents being more career oriented leading to family building being postponed.

    But your point is spot on as well. We aren’t planning on more kids. We’ve made replacements for ourselves. Youngest is 9 and we don’t plan on another. When they get moved out we go back to “us time”. But if my wife were to tell me she was pregnant we would start the ride all over again.

    Mine was the only high school in town.
    There were only three high schools in my hometown, but nearly 90% of the residents were Catholic. The HS I attended was more like a REALLY REALLY good public school and NOTHING like a Strake Jesuit. Nothing at all.

    There were 464 folks in my graduating class. When I was attending (1973-1977), the tuition was something like $500/yr, so again--nothing like Strake Jesuit.
