    As a Canadian about to be homeless due to housing costs, I’ll take it

      I hope you’re white and heterosexual if you’re planning on taking that Idaho home. And not a woman who is capable of bearing children.

        I know those are real issues but you are exaggerating

              Like I said- I hope you’re a white, heterosexual male. Being homeless and alive sounds better to me than being killed inside your home because your neighbors don’t like your color or who you love.

                How many times has that happened? The chances of dying in a car crash are higher

                  Something tells me you have nothing to worry about in Idaho due to the aforementioned reasons. Enjoy your new neighbors.

                    When you can’t afford housing or groceries these things you are concerned about are on the back burner

      Well, definitely don’t come to Florida, then. We’re having that issue, too. The heat index has been 110F+ for the last two weeks and I still see even more panhandlers than in recent years.

      I used to call Florida a toilet because it was fun to shit on, but I think it’s just a hellhole now. Vanishingly few benefits to living here, unless you have a lot of money.

        Yeah I would avoid Florida just due to the weather. Much more comfortable freezing to death than of heat.

      Hear you.

      I’m in the U.S.

      I finally bought a house in a horrible county about 10 years ago. I’m 62. I’ll end up living under a freeway overpass.
