There are multiple meanings to the word noble, and you have chosen one that makes little sense in the context of the rest of the comment. It is hard to read this as anything other than a bad faith argument.
Your right to be skeptical as it's not the case. It's being driven by individuals within Idaho moving to more urban parts of Idaho.
Locals say it's all "Californians," but that is just short hand for folks out of state but surveys and data from ITD (Idaho Transportation Department, i.e. DMV) show it's urbanization at work.
Granted there are folks moving to Idaho from outside of the state but they are the minority causing the influx to CDA and Boise.
Source: Local news, resident of Boise, and someone who is dismayed at the lack of housing in the area.
In our case (Cd'A) the majority coming in are not from Idaho moving to more urban areas...they are from out of state.
Not sure I would trust the DMV stats during the covid times too since I see a lot of unregistered/expired tags right now.
Most people from the rural areas here cannot afford a house in Coeur d'Alene...it is primarily people coming from other markets where a $600k house is considered a steal.
edit: I have lived in Cd'A for over 40 years...and this year is a very new thing.
For the record, there are now huge sections of Boise now where 600k is considered a steal. Boiseans are among those other markets and they moving to other parts of the state as part of this housing shortage.
Anecdotally, just as you've seen unregistered/expired tags, I've had two coworkers use the new remote work freedom to move to CdA/Sandpoint area.
Which leads to another issue which isn't brought up enough.
What is going to happen to all the remote high paid workers when it becomes the common trend to scale pay to the area?
Currently...you need to make 3x the average pay to be eligible for a house. Anyone who loses their job that has moved to the area is going to find that there is little to no high paying jobs for quite some distance.
It has already happened to more than one person I know locally. Not saying they will have any issue selling their house.
Totally legit question. I know for Boise "scale pay for the area" already has a wildly different meaning depending on the employer.
I've had employers who hired in Boise for cheaper talent than in SoCal (50-80% the pay,) I've had others who pay the same as Salt Lake City -- closest metro area with data, and another who took the Seattle office averages -40-75k and called it fair. Tech wages here are extremely variable and have little to do with local cost of living.
Hi throwawayboise, Boise resident and native myself for the record, the idea these bypassed needed studies is a complete fabrication. Please stop harming both of the communities we seem to share by spreading this nonsense.
It's not a fabrication. These vaccines haven't even existed for a year; there is no possible way to do a long term study in under a year. Whether you feel like a long term study is needed is certainly up for debate, but none have actually been done.
The idea that they have been "bypassed" is indeed a fabrication. That phrasing implies that long-term studies are usually carried out in vaccine trials and an exception was made for COVID-19 vaccines. That is not the case. Long-term studies are always carried out after a vaccine has already hit the market.
It would be correct to say that no long-term studies have taken place, not that they have been "bypassed."

I think it's great. If I had to pick between Finder, Windows File Explorer, Nautilus, or Dolphin. I'd honestly choose Nautilus. It's visually simple, has previews, built in support for Google Drive, easy to find how to show hidden files, if I double click an archived file; it decompresses it, and it has an "Open Terminal" right click prompt. If I had to walk someone through performing a file system action, say over a phone, I feel confident that I could do so with the least confusion using Nautilus. I simply never have understood the arguments against Nautilus and am extremely thankful to the developers who have chosen to make the hard decision to reduce features to make the application maintainable.
Telling that you'd use that term.
