Recent Coeur d'Alene Press editorial:

Bob McAdams seems to have touched a nerve with his My Turn column published last Saturday. Under the headline “7 points to ponder on Idaho etiquette,” McAdams notes that many people continue to move to North Idaho from California “…for the quality of life, affordability of housing, and the exquisite beauty of the area.”

But, he writes, “…some bring many of the negative attitudes and lifestyles with them.” McAdams’ seven suggestions pretty much stick to a central theme: Relax. Be patient. Adapt, and things will be just fine even as the population grows.

It’s only at the end of the column that Bob discloses he’s a California transplant, too. More here.

Question: What advice would you give to any newby, from California or otherwise?
