Resentment against Californians bringing their larger housing budgets to other states

[haele]

7. Most moving to Montana or Idaho are not hippy dippy Dems, though.

They're technocrats or retirees who sold their homes and are able to either work remotely of dabble at "independent living" while not paying California taxes or dealing with all our "socialism".

For example, the other technical lead I work with is Mormon. He's seriously thinking of selling his house in East County San Diego and moving his family to Montana and continue his employment via telework to be closer to most of his kin and to pay less in taxes; the only thing stopping him is that he doesn't want to uproot the three youngest children and his wife works in the medical field and wants to make sure she has a job before they move. He also doesn't trust the internet up there, because he wouldn't be living in those liberal cities up there.

Do I need to say that he probably voted for Darryl Issa this time around?
