You couldn’t pay me to live in Idaho. Or Florida.

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

I’m really not.

Hate makes a comeback in Idaho, this time with political support • Idaho Capital Sun

Over the past few years, figures from U.S. and world spewing anti-Semitic, racist and homophobic rhetoric have been moving to Idaho.

Rather deal with that than be homeless

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

If you’re a white heterosexual male, sure.

Then why are these topics not discussed in Africa for example?

Ah, whataboutism, a classic way to avoid confronting your own privilege.

All I am trying to say is that it is definitely appealing that I can afford a roof over my head there lol. You have got to be shitting me if you think on the street in Canada is better

It may very well be better if you’re queer, yes. You’re protected by a human rights charter for being queer in Canada. In Idaho… well, read the article.

If you live on the street you are going to die, full stop

That’s simply not true. There are people who live on the street for years.

Here you will likely freeze to death
