Having left San Diego for North Ogden, the long cold winters were the biggest shock, along with the smog (absolutely horrible winter time inversions). Neighbors are really hit or miss! Some wonderful people and some make it very clear "stay off my property". One really nice thing about Utah are the legally open places. Yes, you can take your dirt bike all over and it is a beautiful state. Crime in Utah is low, too. I left my car and house unlocked most all the time. 80 mph speed limit on I-15 makes it a fairly short drive to escape in winter (at least for long weekends). Most all the Mormons were pretty chill I think. One or two didn't want our kids around. My two boys did have a few fights in elementary school over religion but nothing outrageous. I moved there when my boys were babies and am glad I did. Unlike California, plenty of children in Utah for them to play with. Lots of folks in Utah are close-nit with friends and family and just not too interested in others. Can make it seem a bit standoff-ish at times. Public smoking, drinking and cursing is definitely not welcome. If you are not LDS, might be worth renting for a while and get the vibe of the various neighborhood. I probably would have been happier and more at home in SLC or Sandy than North Ogden. Best not to discuss religion much at all. It can be a sore subject.

Besides the ocean vs the mountains the lack of humidity is a huge difference between the two states.
Thanks for the feedback
Every reason you mentioned sounds like a good reason to leave California.
@@socaliente2543 a lot of people would probably agree

@@petewilson2314 I’m guessing you actually mean Utah is awesome but we prefer less people moving to Utah?
