Comments on: “Respect The Culture!” https://boiseguardian.com/2023/03/13/respect-the-culture/ A different slant on the news.

More exaggerating.
And all the others coming for the outdoors and the culture? The grandparents moving here? The political refugees? They all got incentives from the politicos?

Who sold the farm land? Not a politician.
Who built and designed the subdivision?
Who decided to live in Canyon and work in Ada?
Who decided they need to dine out all the time and create a demand for cheap labor?
Who decided to be a criminal?
who who who. Like an owl. Not the politicians. It was ALL the people already here, like you.

Politicians are letting it happen? So you do want politicians to PREVENT it? Hysterical!

EDITOR NOTE– As long as the politicos pay businesses to locate here they will come. When “incentives” like tax breaks and special attractions are eliminated, the growth mania will stop.

My view is they are just letting it happen. We will get what we plan for in future growth pressures.

Why? Because Idaho culture has built and maintained a great place to live. It is insanity to want or try to change what is successful.

Curious as to what is wrong with the current culture in Idaho. What needs to be changed that will be helpful to all? Does the Swedish culture need to be changed in Sweden? How about the Amish, does their culture need to be changed to be helpful to ALL?

A person can be pessimistic or optimistic. Which one are you all?
