California is unique in having prop 13 and other misfeatures that guarantees next to zero housing gets built when population increases.

Boise will have some growth pains, but it will have to really screw up to become California.

One thing though, is the influx of ex-Californians will change the culture of Boise (not judging - just saying it will). Soon they will petition In/Out Burgers to open there, and bring other California cultural touch-stones to Idaho.

Perhaps. But remember that those who leave California are probably the ones who like it the least!

They don’t understand that their culture/policies is what causes the housing problems in California to begin with.
