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
You sound like someone who has all their human needs covered and ran out of things to complain about
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
Would live in a red state if push come to shove, just hole up in your house and work from home, live a solitary life
Idaho also has incredible nature you can escape to
Seriously if anyone in Idaho here wants to come try living in BC I'll trade because it's getting really hard to survive here
Sorry, you think it's toasty warm in Idaho?
It snows in the summer in Idaho.
No I think I could afford a house in Idaho
I make six figures but thx for the kind words
If I had a visa in the US I could quite literally buy something in Idaho RIGHT NOW
Meanwhile I cannot afford an apartment in my own shit city
Also, most people in Idaho are stupid, so I'll fit in just fine :)
