    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

    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.
