I've been subbed with notifications on for a few videos now, just wanna say I'm enjoying them and see this channel catching the algorithm sooner or later. Keep it up 👍
Such great footage!! Loved the landscapes and nature, seemed so rich and colourful, with the snow-capped mountains together with the orange deserts and forested valleys! Seems like a good place to live indeed. Loved your video, can't wait to see more! Keep up the good work
I lived in Utah for 6 years and I was able to buy my own house and some landing properties, I must say that it has been the most successful years of my life

One of the reasons people are moving to Utah is because too many people are moving Florida and is getting too crowd. My cousin just visited Florida for vacation. She said already there are housing issues because too many people are moving there.
Born and raised in Utah. Graduated from University of Utah. It was too damn cold. Moved to southern California. Hate the politics here but love the weather.
As Utahan I can confirm all of this. In my small town most of us are comfortable with going to bed with out doors unlocked. And sometimes keeps keys in the cars. No for everyone moving to Utah, welcome but first understand this. Utah depending where you’re at we can be very agricultural. If you move to a city that is that way, keep it that way. A lot of Utah’s industry comes from farming as well as oilfield. Try not to ruin the farming culture here.
Our lake is drying up from water use abuses. so Salt Lake will be one of the first big cities in America to fall. I'm a local born and raised here, it's a real danger.
Although there are many amazing things about living in Utah, it is not all sunshine and rainbows. There is an ever growing high cost of living, property is terribly expensive, water concerns, no decent minimum wage, and a highly conservative gov that is heavily influenced by the Mormon church. Large companies are setting up in Utah due to lower taxes for businesses (such as relocating from CA). Traffic can be horrendous in certain areas and there is very limited public transportation for most populated areas. Its great in many ways, but lets be informative about all sides of living somewhere.
I loved Utah till the population came. Our small towns are liked a busted can of biscuits. The beauty and the true 4 seasons would be hard to move away from.
Yep gotta love that everyone decided to move here right as i became an adult pretty much destroying any chance of getting a house. When i was in jr high the state was at roughly 1,500,000 now its around 3,300,000 which has murdered the housing market and could kill our state with the great salt lake issue
How do you progress building wealth there with HIGH housing and LOW wages? Does a state with the YOUNGEST population indicate it's a wise choice for savvy people to build a life?
We moved to Utah to get out of the heat of S. California, as well as the crime, transients, homeless, and most of all the liberals. It's like going to a first world country. Clean, everyone is polite, people actually have children, and there are few foreigners. It's just better to live with folks that share your culture and history. However, it is expensive, more so than most of California.
@@robertsaladino Housing is ridiculously high here, if you can find a place. Paying over $2k for a rural apartment. Buying is out of the question at the moment.
Mormons are the Friendliest Unfriendly people you will ever be around, then add Republicans and then the rest of the Christian’s in and Utah is screwed. Nothing like being under Authoritarian Theocratic Fascist rule in Utah.
@@themidnighttavern6784 exactly, especially those taught in Utah. Utah ranks near the bottom in the country for per pupil spending. I don’t see high school students working. Instead, they’d rather play sports. Sports doesn’t get jobs, real work does and that’s why we have no young people doing Electrical, Plumbing, etc. Religion is also more important, their make believe god is going to give them everything they need 🤣🤣. It’s stupid on every level!
It's growing so fast, so idk if people like crowds and traffic n stuff that fallows that city life haha, go back to New York or sin city, your choice I guess 😆😆😊😊
The LDS Church has everything to do the the economic boom and stability of Utah. The Church built the State, considers it the holy land. It has deep value in the success and prosperity of the state.
As a Utahn, I don't disagree. But what should we do, build a wall around the state or pass a law prohibiting people to move here? A lot of folks move here because they like what Utah has to offer. I'm OK with that.
I'm Jack Mormon cuz they judge and don't like homeless people. You have to be kinda rich it seems like to be a Mormon so I quit their church at the age of 10. Lol 😆😆 true story 😊😊
Nature might surprise you. I remember when I was younger and politicians and stuff were saying that the ice caps were going to be completely melted in the next ten years or something. It’s been a lot longer from when I heard that, so humans can easily be wrong. We shall see what happens.
@@Totally_Not_A_Dumb_Ass I can confidently say that your opinion isn't needed. Your comment has no real relevance. I hope you wake up 2 minutes before your alarm every morning this week.
I love stepping over homeless people to go into a gas station only to pay $5.50 for gas than go home to my shithole apartment that’s $2,000 a month and try to talk to my neighbors who don’t speak English, gotta love California
Utah is absolutely THRIVING more than quite a few other states.
Thank you for watching my video on the unique state of Utah, I really appreciate you taking your time to give my channel a chance.
You’re welcome king
As a utahn,i still don't know what happened to Jordan, we have a west Jordan. But Just plain Jordan is nowhere to be found
Lol and south Jordan. But I’m pretty sure they’re named such because of their proximity to the Jordan river.😉
@@Baughlin that would make sense

Thank you so much Stephen
great video !!
I heard recently that the great salt lake is drying out. And that it is no where as big as it used to be
It is. There's a drought going on.
The lake has filled 5 feet thanks to the snow season last year.
Water use abuses by big agriculture and to a smaller extent, residential and commercial overuse is largely to blame
Such great footage!! Loved the landscapes and nature, seemed so rich and colourful, with the snow-capped mountains together with the orange deserts and forested valleys! Seems like a good place to live indeed.

One of the reasons people are moving to Utah is because too many people are moving Florida and is getting too crowd. My cousin just visited Florida for vacation. She said already there are housing issues because too many people are moving there.
That is with a lot of these smaller conservitive states too many people are moving destroying the state and then leaving to the next state
Yep, and Utah is taking away freedoms as quick as Florida is.
Not true.80% of North Florida is wilderness. Also 90% of American is rural wilderness.

True but this is why sauna's exist !! lol
so many other warm locations you could have gone beside CA but to each their own.
@@GuyIn801 Arizona is too hot in summer and too cold in winter. The south is too muggy and buggy. What's left?

Sounds perfect 🙏
May I ask which part has the warmer weather there?
Just watched this after watching the one on Portland Oregon, feels like going from the darkness to the light.
Greatest State in America. I'm proud to be from Utah.. Salt Lake City will become one of the greatest cities in the 🌎...
Is one and has been for a long while. "This is the place."

The great salt flats just east of Nevada is the most peaceful place

Yep, the right wing is destroying Utah at a fast pace. It’s really sad.
Utah is number on in volunteers. 51 % of people volunteer !!
3:20 if the city has "west" in it. Avoid it.
West Jordan is nice

Actually, 1,000's of Californians are visiting Utah, As a Utahan, I have no clue why
They are trying to ruin it.
@@Aerosith D:
Cheaper Mountain Views and less traffic.
@@itsnick37 yeah I could see that, also because of lower cost for shelter, basic necessities, etc

Not very smart to have so many people in a desert

It's basically the middle spot where the water gets stuck.. 🤣

It buiful
Taxes. That's it
Lots of Mormon but it's God's country remember??. 😊😊. I'm just here that's all. I love the 4 Corners of America Amen.😊😊
Good place to grow marijuana
Soon it’s about to be why everyone is moving away from Utah when the great salt lake dries up
It is not a water supply. It is not needed.

guys dont move here, Utah us basically Ohio but worse
Ohio don’t got the best skiing my friend 😜
I probably will lol, nobody has scenery like Utah has and honestly still decent rent in Utah compared to any other popular city or area….
Ohio Gyatt Rizz
How do you think that's gonna affect Me, I'm going to move to Utah in the future.
Utah is not Ohio lmao no where near
Udah🤮🤮🤮
STAY OUT!!!
would be better without the mormons
That’s like saying Israel would be better without Jews. 😒

Utah is trumped HARD in every way by California.
In every way? What about cost of living, median household income, lower income and property taxes, less congestion, to name a few.
I love stepping over homeless people to go into a gas station only to pay $5.50 for gas than go home to my shithole apartment that’s $2,000 a month and try to talk to my neighbors who don’t speak English, gotta love California
That’s why there’s thousands of Californians moving to Utah every year lol
Lousy state with bad, bigoted bathroom law. Boycott.
