Idaho is known as the Anti California. The Gem State continues to attract people of high and low profile who are tired of the failed, flawed policies of California's liberal Governor Gavin Newsom and his progressive goons.

The migration to Idaho is not new; as we reported here and here, mega entertainment starts from California. I love spending time in Idaho. Several wealthy and famous people have homes in Sun Valley and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

There are a number of reasons high-income people are leaving California. Instead of focusing on the negative, let's profile why more and more Americans are moving to the Gem State. Idaho offers a family-friendly, faith-based lifestyle. It's a state where its citizens support law enforcement. Housing is not as affordable as it once was, but it is still more affordable than maintaining a home in the Golden State.

The Gem State is famous for harboring folks who want to live normal lives. There's always a rumor about who moved into Sun Valley or other exotic parts of Idaho.

She is the star of the Paramount + film Landman, which premieres in November. The pandemic brought her to Idaho, but the state's unrivaled beauty caused her to stay.

"We fell in love with the beauty of the mountains and their quiet grandness," she told Rue.
