My impression is that "this city has too many high paying jobs" is a very isolated complaint in a few outlier big city areas.

Outside of those, almost every community is eager to bring in high paying jobs.

This is about rich, often retired Californians moving in to Boise, driving up home prices and bringing their alien culture.

That's pretty different from new high paying jobs becoming available to the local job market.

For one thing it means local engineering talent doesn't have to move away to have a career.

Idaho is experiencing what California had in the 1970s and 1980s, with the influx of people from other states. I remember the bumper stickers, "Welcome to California, now go back home" and "Welcome to California, now get the fuck out."
