Being born and raised here, I will say this. Over the last 15 - 20 years, people are really starting to catch on to this place. Everyone that I've met who's moved here from out of state or just here to visit, really loves it here. They're starting to realize that this is a great place to live.
I think they need to get the eff out. Their is literally traffic everywhere now, all the good hiking spots are ruined and all the national parks are packed all the time. I'm about done with living here because of the boom in population I'm ready to leave and it honestly makes me sad
Yeah I agree I’m from California I love it
I moved here because of work and immediately fell in love with it. Utah is unrivaled. But even in the short time I’ve been here it’s changed a LOT
I stayed in SLC for 5 weeks to have a surgery and I fell in love. The wrap around mountains, the people, the food, the weather (and I went in winter) was all absolutely amazing. I’ve been to 29 states in the US so far, and this is still by far my favorite.
Happy New Year Cody!
Wishing your channel growth the way it deserves this 2024… you always deliver great info …thanks!
Thanks for commenting and watching!
I agree with most of the thing that you are saying, but I think that the public transit here is better than most US cities and especially cities of similar sizes. It obviously has a lot of room for improvement, but it is a really good system.
Nice flex showing the winter snow....on a dozen Ferraris lol.
Great vid. Well done. Thanks.
Do not forget the Utah Warriors.
Entertainment and transportation here are good and underrated. LDS influence is still big but manageable (every state in the US has politics influenced by a different Christian church anyway). The difficult part is making friends. Everyone is super nice, but not welcoming. They say hi and help you but don't invite you to things. Plus there's always the awkward moment you need to figure out if the potential friend drinks coffee or alcohol. But TSA here treats you like a human being. I didn't think it was possible. So that's a huge plus.
I live in a different state near an LDS church and I have a ton of Mormon neighbors. I completely agree with you. Some of the nicest people you’d meet, give you the shirt off their back, but you won’t be invited to their BBQ… and it might be awkward if they did.
Interesting point and perspective. Thanks for sharing!
gtk thank you
@@notreallyme425I don’t know if they’re genuine
SLC sounds like the perfect place to live. Beautiful surroundings! Thank you!!
Lived here my whole life (24 years) biggest change I’ve noticed is how bad the drivers have gotten, maybe that has come as more people move here but it’s big problem
Great list, although I’m from the Midwest and spring and fall are just as short there. Overall weather in Utah is way more enjoyable
Thanks for sharing your perspective! Appreciate you watching
Thank you so much for making this video. I would like to ask you about how dangerous living in Salt Lake City is? I’m thinking about making the move🥰
Can you tell me Utah accept Alison certification??
Gonna be there for couple months for work. Any tips? I live in Texas lol so I don’t know anything about snow
Watch more of my videos. I have info on just about every topic 👍🏽
If you lose traction on snow, DONT SLAM THE BREAKS you will drift.
Fetter the gas and counter steer to counter act the slide
Why is the propert crime so high ? Is it really that bad or no?
The number of free local hiking and mountain bike trails here in Utah is mind blowing, it makes outdoor recreation so much easier to get to. Unlike in California, where the only good bike trails are at the big ski resorts that you have to pay to ride their bike parks
Can you do a video of living from like provo utah down to santaquin?
Yes I’ll add it to the list.
The summer is too hot here
As a international students should I move to utah to pursue my higher education . What are the jobs opportunities for international students. Can I survive there
Really depends where you’re moving from and what you wanna go into. University of Utah is an excellent research school and has extensive medical facilities. BYU’s music and computer science departments are really good but then you run into religious affiliation there. Housing has skyrocketed recently and is honestly comparable to parts of London - so unless you can find a job stat or have enough buffer to live ok for a few months, you may not survive. Hoping this helps 🫡
I’m considering moving from Maine. Utah, Oregon, and Washington state are my options. Haven’t figured it out yet.
Go Oregon
Pros and cons to all of them!
Oregon but Portland coz it's considered as messy city with crazy ppl.
Although if you are Twilight fan, you will like it
I lived in Oregon for the last 4 years, coming from Washington (which just got too crowded and overrun by Amazon) and there's absolutely no job opportunities here. In fact, in the 4 years I've had 1decent paying for a month, here, and the rest I was lucky enough to work remotely (out of state). But now that everyone is switching to hybrid, there's little to nothing here AND we lost power for a whole week to down trees, etc. Just over this place. I'd go for something that's warmer/sunnier. @@projectstreet
you got a solid candidate there, except Maine tho
hi,which town are safe and cheaper to live?
San Francisco and Saint Louis
there were 100K+ people living in the valley when i moved here from L.A. in 1971. i could drive from Kearns to north salt lake on most sundays and not see another car on the road! i love that SLC is so isolated. the people are good, caring, god-loving people. a significant portion of the population are direct descendants of the pioneers. living in suburb like Sugarhouse is like living in 1940's, with decent, caring neighbors. downside? the new passive/aggressive generation. they add nothing to the community and unfortunately dilute the population.
What about the crime rates? Is it high or low? Some people says that it's low and others says very high. I'm confused.
Low compared to the rest of the country. Within the state, of course there are areas with higher or low crime, just like in any state or city.
@@LivingInSaltLakeCity Thank you very much☺️
Amazing overall place to live. But the absolute biggest con is HORRENDOUS air quality during the winter because all of the pollution and exhaust fumes get trapped in the valley for sometimes weeks at a time where you are living in a literal fishbowl of pollution. Your throat gets scratchy, eyes burn, and almost everyone you know is sick and /or has a cough. The air quality gets so bad its #1 worst in the nation and ranks world class right next to some cities in China and India . THAT is how bad it gets .
Con: alcohol laws. You gotta plan your weekend ahead, as the liquor will be closed.
I've lived in the SLC area my whole life. Family aside, the things that has always kept me here are a) economic opportunity - it's always among the best in the nation and b) the variety of terrain and it's proximity. Beside "the big five" there's so much opportunity for camping, boating, hiking, biking, kayaking all within a relatively short drive. So much public land. If you love the outdoors this place is hard to beat. Having said all that. Don't come here!!! It sucks!!! lol!
Hello! I have a question: we are considering moving to Salt Lake City from San Diego for various reasons but also because it’s becoming worse here in terms of certain political propaganda in public schools. I am wondering if public schools in Salt Lake City are still quite traditional and focus on actually teaching kids science, art and language as it used to be here instead of trying to slip in other controversial topics without parent approval? Thank you!
San Diego and SLC are not the place. You’ll want to go outside of the city.
Great question. SLC, like every other major city in the US, is more on the liberal side, and, without trying to get political, I think that is where those issues and concerns are coming from. If you are outside of the city, where it is more conservative, the schools will be much more conservative/traditional focused as you mentioned. Anywhere to the north, or the south of Salt lake city proper, and you'd be fine!
Correct!
Salt Lake City is VERY liberal. Go to the suburbs
Air quality ?
@14:35
I'm moving to SLC soon in about 3 weeks. I went there last month to catch a flight to NC to visit my hometown, and I really liked it there. My biggest issue with SLC is the fact that there's an 80% tax on wholesale tobacco, and I'm a big cigar lover. Other than that, SLC is awesome.
Happy New Year. Great video. Good that most of the cons don't apply to me. Probably just the air quality, but that's why God made air purifiers. Utah is also #1 in the book/report Rich State, Poor State. I think diversity can be good and bad. Depends on the characteristics of the people. Have a very prosperous year.
Thanks for watching and comment! Best wishes!
I live just north of SLC, temporarily because of work. I have lived in several large cities in my life to compare. These are my pros and cons of the area...
Pros: I have never lived in such a gorgeous location, everywhere you look is an unbelievable sight or attraction to visit. Hiking and outdoors activities are plentiful and easily accessible. The area also has a really good medical support system so if you have any medical needs, you will find a provider who can handle your condition here.
Cons: The population is not welcoming, which leads to my second point. The LDS church controls everything here, anyone who says otherwise is either blind, dumb or drank the LDS Koolaid. This also causes racism and discrimination, if you're a person of color good luck and if you are LDS but not from Utah, good luck being accepted (learned this from my co workers who moved here because they are LDS) - if you are not white and from Utah you will forever be an outsider. The air quality is terrible, I cant even see most of the mountains some days, it cant be good to breathe in with all of the heavy metals leeching into the air. The winter months it can snow a lot and I expected everyone here to be able to drive well in it; not the case they will ride your bumper above the speed limit in a blizzard. Cost of living is insane, since last year the cost of living as increased additionally over $1k, and home are a small fortune to own. Traffic, the area is heavily saturated with new people living here, so traffic is insane and the roads are poorly maintained; potholes on the main highways and they don't paint the roads with reflective lines so night driving isn't ideal. Food, with the exception of authentic Mexican food, the area generally struggles with cuisine compared to most of America - the bright side is I cook all of my own food and save a ton of money because of this.
If anyone wants more specifics or has a question let me know. I am currently trying to get my company to move me to another state, so in a few months I may be unable to speak to current events in the local area.
The sentiment on diversity is honest yet jarring. An increase in diversity could have a negative impact to the non-diverse there?
I think he was saying in the past the negative was the lack of diversity.
You’re talking too quickly!!! You need to slow down… Thank you.
People need to know that the HORRENDOUS air quality will actually take years off your life. I've had 3 family members die early from mysterious lung conditions. Every year it gets worse and with the lake disappearing the air will soon be filled with arsenic. Once that happens, property values are going to drop like a rock. The beautiful mountains are often obscured with pollution so bad you can taste it even when you're indoors.
Pros: low cost of living
Cons: Utah
What...? How do you figure?
There are 49 other states. You Don't belong there
Low cost of living????
