- Salt Lake City is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. Having grown up in Idaho, I have made many trip to Salt Lake City over the years. I think it's an under-rated city so I've been looking forward to making this video. I had made a video about Salt Lake City over two years ago, but I didn't think I had done a good enough job at representing the city with that video. Thanks for watching: Salt Lake City Overview | An informative introduction to Salt Lake City, Utah
Home sweet home.
Ha me too
Really?! Me too!

My favourite city in the US. Beautifully laid out and some stunning architecture. Great vibe, and so much to do in the mountains.
I moved to SLC from Oregon in the 8th grade. I graduated from Highland High and did my undergrad at the U. Been gone since 2001, now living in Boise area, but the city definitely played a big role as to who I am. Thanks for presenting it! Well done.👍🏻
Thank you!!
Regardless of how you feel about the LDS church, you cannot deny the beauty that is the Salt Lake Temple
One comment is that for Salt Lake really the CSA is much, much better for population metrics than the Metro (MSA) alone. There are cities ten minutes away that are not part of the Metro but very much part of the overall population like Bountiful. So the CSA really gives the scope and explains how we can support multiple sports teams, etc.
Yes, and I’m that case the population is more around 2.4 million, putting it in the top 25 for the country.
Great video! Beautiful city! Like 277 Thank you very much for sharing!
Thanks so much!
Nice update and more nice details added. I really like that the state Capitol is on such a prominent hill. I didn’t realize how large the metro area is in population. A 209k city is really a 1.3 million city. The Mormon Tabernacle is really impressive as well. Great job!
Thanks David!! Yeah it’s a surprisingly large city. Thanks for the comment, as always!
They've been talking about hosting the Winter Olympics again in 2030 or 2034, along with much-needed updates to the city's infrastructure and public transportation
How did I not know they had a massive mine close by? That's wild how deep it is. Sick vid bro!
Yeah it’s super interesting! Thank you!!
Salt lake seems like such an interesting city! This video was definitely an upgrade from your last slc vid!
Thank you!! Yeah it was time for an updated video 😊
What an interesting comment! Sorry, I'm sorry
Really beautiful city and best touring center.
The city I now call home! Love my city so much!
We don't want newcomers, go back
Cool fact about the conference center. The acoustic design is such that the dampening effect each seat is the same whether filled or empty. Reverb would be a massive issue otherwise
Thanks for mentioning that!
As a long time subscriber, I always thought you had covered SLC before! Nonetheless, good coverage as always. I'm yet to visit this beautiful city but I most definitely will, in the future.
Yeah I had a couple years ago but I didn’t think I had done a good enough job with my first SLC video. This one is quite a bit more thorough. Thanks for the comment!
Good video but no mention of SLC's transit system! It punches way above its weight for an American city.
Thanks! And yeah I don’t typically hit on metro system in these videos but it would have been a good idea to hit on that with SLC
I wish you would have mentioned the practical reasons the area was settled. Being in a mountain valley, there are many rivers and creeks supplying the area with water from snow melt. This is compounded by the existence of a large fresh water lake to the south of the city with a large river flowing from that lake, through salt lake valley, and into the great salt lake. The area is arid, but it really is an oasis in the desert.
Cool video. MSAs can be strange. Something like 1/3 of SLC's area is uninhabitable mountain and lake. SLC is definitely "bigger" than both Memphis and Birmingham.
Good video
Thank you!
I always imagined SLC was underrated and overlooked.
It’s not. With the religion, the city is ok at best to visit once. More than that you see the true reality of the religion and how the city really is and its people.
not anymore. way too many people are moving here and the tiny little infrastructure cant handle. everything is flooded with traffic now.
@@frwystr well, when it comes to infrastructure, Utah SUCKS!
@Ex_christian I don't live there. But I'm not far away, the government there is far worse. May I add it's completely blue.
@@TheChcam the State Government is worse.
If you’re gonna mention Lehi (silicon slopes) you might as well include Salt Lakes CSA population, which is 2.8 million
Stay out we're full.
It's bad when you've grown up here your whole life and possibly have to move away cause you can't afford it. Not my situation but I've seen it happen a few times.
@@sleekillathat’s me growing up in NYC, as an adult I can’t afford it so I’ve stayed in Utah since I was in college and now I hope this place doesn’t spit me out too 😭
@@ultraviolettas I'm in Seattle, we have SLC beat for crowds.
I love my city of slc
Please do videos on Minnesota and Des Moines Iowa
I went to the Capitol building for prom last school year. Salt Lake is a good city
can you do Hartford, Connecticut
Yes!
I've thought of moving there. Yet I have a feeling the cost of living is getting too high out that way.
Oh ya, SLC is very expensive and not a comfortable place to be.
It's way too high and way overcrowded now. I wouldn't move here
@@neo7759 As in Seattle overcrowded. I live South Seattle weekdays and often weekends. Live South Stay South to keep sane from the traffic.
where's Nashville?
Hello everyone!)
I'm planning to fly to this city to study. Can you tell me how is the crime rate there? There is absolutely contradictory information on the Internet. So I would like to hear the real opinion of people who live there.
That copper mine is scary.
telepathic version of salt lake from another area always thaough it would be more spanish like being neigbors to neveda, I like book geographics instead.
Just wait until we get the Rio Grande Plan done
nyc pls
Ah yes this is where steak lives
Its starting to get California's problems... not good
Hey next City Orlando 🫶
I was born in Utah but shortly after I was born, my parents moved to the south where I spent the rest of my life up until Covid hit, and then I decided to move back because by that point every member of my family was living out here. I really wish I didn’t.
I always thought Utah was a chill place where people were cool and understanding ……. I have never lived in a city with people that were more rude, more self-centered, more inconsiderate than this place. Not to mention the pollution is the worst I have ever seen, and I have traveled the country for my job for the last 20 years as a traveling land surveyor.
The Jordan River is the most disgusting body of water I have ever seen in my family lived on the Mississippi river for six years. also living along the river, not hundreds, but thousands of Crystal methodic who the police on a monthly occasion have to hurt like cattle, depending on what events are going on. But the days that it’s not completely covered in smog when you can actually see the valley. It does look pretty from a far.
They are all brothers and sisters
"REFORMED EGYPTIAN" 😂😂🤣
Latino For Trump 💪 no mas guerra
The Mormons had been considering and planning to relocate to the GSL Valley for years before they actually did- the legend makes it sound like they just wandered west and ended up there by accident.
Also it would be accurate to say they fled due to conflict, but saying it was “religious persecution” is inaccurate and kinda propaganda. It wasn’t their personal religious beliefs that stirred up their neighbors everywhere they went.
The second half of this comment is wild. Reducing what Mormons went through to a “conflict” rather than blatant religious persecution is dishonest
@@pre-q8s what’s wild is thinking that just practicing a different religion is so offensive that hordes of people are driven to rage, and not just some people- this happened everywhere they went. And they were far from the weirdest religion out there, so why didn’t any of the other similar new religions experience similar?
The reality is that they originally fled New York to escape prosecution from fraudulent activity. Then from there they would move en masse to small towns, declare it their promised land, declare that the town (which again was already settled) would now be run according to mormon rules with Joseph Smith as the king, they would vote as a bloc to put themselves in power, would run “apostate” business owners out of business, pooling their money to outbid locals on land, then there was the sexual shenanigans with Joseph Smith (including teenage girls) which later turned into “polygamy,” and more. This turned into violence and riots, and it happened in multiple places.
Were they persecuted at this time? You could make that argument. But the rage didn’t come from their religion or beliefs.
Living in Utah under Moroni Law has made Utah a terrible state to live in and SLC a very Unfriendly city to visit! The Mormons are the friendliest Unfriendly people you will ever meet! The Mormons make SLC a terrible city to visit when nothing happens on Sundays and they dictate when mass transit run. The Mormons have ruined Utah.
@@pre-q8swell, when their cult likes to groom and brainwash….. what do you expect?
People from Utah are mean, don’t come here
The changing demographics and how good SLC proper it is to the lgbtq community is cool. Hopefully one day Utah becomes a blue state and SLC can truly shine.
yeah no. Blue states are failing and people are moving in droves to red states. You just stay in your libtarded state. Utah is great precisely cause its not a blue state.
I hope not, sire your LGBT whatever you think blue is doing is cool. But most LGBT people here in utah don't like slc. We don't like the gas stations having glass everywhere. Or the homeless in the streets everywhere. Blue don't solve issues they make them and tell you to vote to fix them. Please stop voting blue no matter who and vote blue when it makes sense and vote red when it makes sense. Cox is a blue pretending to be red but you can't see that because it's just a game to you
NFL should just have a newest football expansion team in Salt Lake City!☃☃☃☃☃☃🏟🏟🏟🏟🏟🏟🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
Or MLB team.
But there’d NEVER be games on Sunday! All because of the Moron cult that rules Utah and SLC!
