I'm just tired of housing costs skyrocketing and Utah being the crappiest place for regular people's wages to keep up with those costs.
Agreed. Housing is a good old fashioned supply / demand equation and we just need more homes. For those who live here and hate the high prices and also do not want to see more growth (building more homes), you can't see prices come down or even stop climbing unless we build many more homes
I know what you mean there but I see it as a trade off. There is not so much aggression among the people here and I can go out in my neighborhood at 2 AM walking the dog with little to no concern. I'm okay paying more for that.
Thanks for sharing
I feel like Georgia is the same way. Wages staying the same, but rent, bills, groceries keep getting higher.
Inflation is affecting people everywhere in the country
I don't want Utah to be #1, I want to be able to afford my own home.
Very good point!
It's been gentrified to the point of no return people won't and can't afford homes out here the average cannot buy a home in Utah any longer
You at correct Andrew, housing affordability is a crisis
As someone that was birthed and raised in Salt Lake City, I have to say it is the worst place for people my age. I cannot afford a home, ever.
🙏
I totally understand!
It’s true, that certain cities are stopping housing developments in order to stay affordable or small even cause housing developments to go elsewhere. I’m a civil engineer and honestly the biggest thing I worry about is transportation infrastructure in Utah. Like literal one highway (I15) to service all the cities in Utah means that if one person gets into a car crash.. we’re all late to work 😂
Thank you so much for sharing! You have a great perspective
As a native I’m struggling to even put food on the table and my girlfriend and I both have full time jobs, my one bedroom apartment cost 1800 a month and I’m pulling out loans just to eat and I’m struggling, rooms for rent where you share privacy cost 1k and it sucks
This is a fantastic comment for anyone who reads this in the future. Thank you so much for sharing and this is precisely what I feel is the largest threat to Utah's future. Yes, we have other concerns with air quality (which has drastically improved over the last 30 years) and water (even though our population only use 3-4% of our water), but housing affordability is a problem and my biggest concern. I feel your pain Phantom and let me know if you ever need anything
Go do sales
That is one solution
@@scottdsteeleI feel you 100% on this. It's changed so drastically the last few years.
I feel bad for ya. We bought are house 12 years ago for $169,000 and our mortgage is a little over $1000 a month. Now its worth about $550,000 and you have neighbors moving in next door, same style and size house but they are paying $3000. I couldn't afford that.
I was born and raised here and so was my wife. My kid will not be able to live here like we did and it sucks to be forced out because of housing costs.
This is the biggest threat to Utah's future. Thank you so much for sharing.
When all the news these days is just depressing and bodes poorly for the future, a video like this is a breath of fresh air. Good stuff and honest updates on important issues.
Thanks Austin, it's refreshing to see that people appreciate a positive outlook
Moved from Bend Oregon 30 years ago and I hate to see us becoming Californiainized. Yes I did grow up over their.
Thanks for sharing Kevin!!
As a native to Utah, I embrace these changes. I for one am fascinated on how much the Tooele Valley as a whole has grown. However, traffic is the main issue here. Going to SLC to Tooele is a slog. It's one way in, one way out.
You're totally right! I do believe it will be expanded in the future as we grow more
I live in Tooele as well and that is what sucks about Tooele, the traffic and the chokepoint that is at Lakepoint.
I get it.. that spot is going to have to be expanded in the future
Tooles a shithole
Tooele is and will continue to change so much that it'll become unrecognizable to those who haven't been there in a few years
I moved to Utah in 2016.
The amount of new apartment complexes popping up in every corner is unbelievable.
Rental and housing prices are insane now! It makes me sad.
I agree and I understand
It really is insane.
It is
I'm fine with Salt Lake City growing upward and changing, and having a night life. I do wish that housing prices weren't so high though, and also I've been job searching for over a year now and despite the hundreds of job applications I've sent out I've had no luck. And I have a bachelor's degree. Not saying that's a problem unique to Salt Lake City. I've also tried applying to other places in other states with also no luck. I'm just saying though. If I didn't have family, I'd be homeless right now.
I completely understand. Housing affordability is the single biggest threat to Utah's future
I’m a single mom. I pray everyday that God will provide a place for me miraculously bc that’s my only viable option for surviving here.
I'm sorry! Single moms are struggling and I have a very soft spot in my heart for you
I think that growing up instead of out will be a bad thing. One of the things that makes Utah unique is that most of us live side by side or just in 2 or 3 story apartments. I have always felt that population density increases dissatisfaction and results in more violent cities. When people get crammed in together things change a lot.
Thanks for sharing Rodney!
Lived in Utah all my life and the amounts of new people is absolutely crazy, you look the other way and a new building has popped out of no where. I hate to see it. The vacation spots my family has gone to for years and years have been packed full, we’re getting pushed out and it breaks my heart.
I totally understand
Came here as a refugee in 1999 with my family from Bosnia. Grew up in Salt Lake City and it’s seriously the best city in the country! Utah has it all. Excited for a growing city!
Thanks for sharing!
I live in Layton Utah the cost of liven is to high our wages so low 😢
I completely understand!
I live in northeastern Utah and there are so many people living here now, the town is busting at the seams. Housing is almost nonexistent for us natives as people from out of state are paying cash and buying up all the homes. I was homeless 2 months ago after a breakup with my two children, we were living in a friends camper with no water or electricity, the low income apartments have such long waiting lists and no affordable housing. There are many people here living in their vehicles, these issues are being ignored by the mayor and commissioners.
I'm sorry for what you've gone through and I pray that you'll land on your feet. Let me know if you ever want to reach out, I may have some connections. Affordable housing is absolutely needed
I live in my van now. It's so expensive. Fortunately my kids are able to stay with my ex. Must have been a difficult situation for you. I guess we gotta just keep on keeping on.
I'm sorry you've experienced this as well!
I live in SLC Utah. Rent and home buying never was a problem. Now it's so bad I live in my van. Even with a roommate I can't afford rent. And yes, I work full time. My friends and family can hardly get by these days. Ok, that's all.
Very valid points and concerns. It's gotten so hard
Being from big cities and now residing in Utah, I welcome all of the cool new things that are changing. Unfortunately/fortunately with change comes good and bad things, but as a friend of mine who's lived here all his life said "Utah is like the high school kid who never grew up" so change is a good thing, and since Utah has really never experienced growth like this before, it's time to "grow up".
Thanks for sharing! I love seeing different perspectives and hearing from you
The new buildings projects are embezzlement schemes theses developers are getting investigated on. The FDC SLC branch just got shut down cause it was so corrupted they just decided to have Denver ranch now responsible for SLC oversight. As the former FDCs employees are being indicted. Can't imagine the inner dealings to be dug up as the buildings sit vacant. Salt Lake is Salt lake. It's in Utah. We can't even put on the kind of Comic/pop culture conventions roster level of guests because were not that town. We have to stay in our lane. People don't care about stuff that is beyond their means in an economic downturn. People need to read the room and update their business software it seems.
I have no idea what you're trying to say here, but thanks for sharing!
@@scottdsteele That’s tough, can’t relate, but shoutout to those who do.
Thanks!
Actually, according to my mother, Midvale born & bred, there was a law that no building in Salt Lake City was to be as tall as to block the view of the capital building from anywhere else in SLC. It changed sometime in the 80s. It could of been just a well known custom & not an actual law, but she wasn’t normally wrong on things!
I believe I've heard this as well. I'm trying to research that as well, thanks for sharing!!
Driving from Ogden to Spanish Fork takes well over an hour (when traffic is light), with zero breaks in buildings. SLC has become a large metro area. There is nothing small about this place. Next, Tremonton to Santaquin will be uninterrupted.
You're exactly right
Living in Ogden, I use Frontrunner as often as possible instead of driving into SLC. I don't understand why more people don't use it that can get to their work locations by using it and Trax. The real issue is Frontrunner doesn't run on Sundays. If I'm planning a trip, I have to plan my flights around Sundays and, of course, times the times it runs.
I had so much fun at the 2002 Olympic games. The committee did a fantastic job, including locals. I'm hoping I'm able to volunteer.
That would be awesome to volunteer again
would you consider maybe doing an interview with people that moved into Utah from out of state?
100% yes!! I need to do this and I will
@@scottdsteele I volunteer lol. Came from Washington state. Military background and starting my own business with lasers and motion capture. It's been absolutely life changing since I moved here and I m asian. Boy do I have some incredible stories.
Let's do it! Text me 801.898 2450
I don't know what we are going to do for water.
We have to have a plan. The good thing is there's so much room for improvement. I've shared other comments with the data surrounding water and it's pretty eye opening
I think in order to make electric cars make more sense here, we need nuclear reactors. Right now our energy is just being produced via R.M.P's coal plants down south. Out of sight doesn't mean out of mind. They also contribute to the inversion in winters here. I do wish we'd be more open to the idea of nuclear power. It's much safer and produces less waist than even 10-20 years ago.
There have been some amazing advances with nuclear that I also need to be utilized. I agree with you
SLC feels like the only part of Utah trying to combat our ever increasing suburban sprawl
And it's only going to continue growing
If you are not from here you're not very welcomed here
That's one opinion
I was born and raised a 30 minute drive from SLC. When I was little my city was quite barren, now there are so many new houses, restaurants, shopping spots, etc. I honesty love living in Utah, but the rising prices for just living make me nervous.
I agree. Utah is experiencing rising costs and so is everywhere else and we have experienced a higher rate of increased housing costs

So glad you pointed out that the air quality has improved. Hopefully, when the nuclear power plant is running, the air cleans up even more. EVs are only clean if powered by nuclear. Wind and solar are not reliable and must have a backup 100%of the time.
Exactly. Nuclear has had some very profound advancements and are SO much safer than reactors of the past
8256 W 5400S West Valley City Utah why aren't they doing anything in that spot? They keep pushing everything on to the east of Salt Lake or the South of salt lake, like Draper Riverton etc...
You're right, there's so much plans out there that looks ready for something to happen but so much of it belongs to Northrup Grumman and until they choose to sell it, it'll have to wait
Thank you for the amazing video! I visited SLC for the first time two weeks ago and I fell in love with the beauty and access to nature trails! Would I have a hard time there if I am not LDS and not planning to join?
I'm so happy that you enjoyed it! To answer your question, no.. you won't have a hard time at all. I speak to people every single day who live here or who are moving here and I wish I could have a bunch of them share their personal opinions rather than sharing mine. Good video idea? Maybe
@@scottdsteele I’d love to watch a video testimonial answering this question! I know it’s a bit taboo but many people I think could benefit from a video like that!
You nailed it, I think that I need to do a video and just go out and ask strangers who'd be willing to share their perspectives. Fantastic video idea 💡
I love Utah. Moved here from the Philippines and every time I visit another State it doesn't take long before I start missing Utah.
Thanks for sharing!!
Moving to Utah next year.
More then likely my mom and I are going to be in farr west. Salt lake is nice but I was born and raised in Cali and I am done with huge areas. I have been thru salt lake and it’s nice. But I prefer rural small town feeling instead
Exciting! I'm here to help! You know where to find me!
With people moving here from higher wage states- it has become impossible to afford a home.
It doesn't matter where people move from... it's that more people are moving here than who leave and we aren't building enough new homes to keep up
@@scottdsteele that is simply wrong. People moving here from a state with higher pay and where houses are valued higher are able to pay more for their houses. Not only that, they pay cash for the house. It happened all the time in St. George. I worked in the construction industry for several years. It was astounding how many new builds were being paid for in cash by someone out of state. How is anyone supposed to compete with that? Does the availability of houses impact the price as well? Yes. But when sellers know they can ask for higher prices because an influx of people are moving here from another state with higher wage- it matters. Saying it doesn't is ignoring a factor in the housing market.
I didn't say that it doesn't matter if people are paying cash... you are absolutely correct there. I was saying that it doesn't matter where people come from. I've helped many people moving from California who are buying a similarly priced home here and doing loans just like most people. Thanks for sharing and please keep doing it
Native to utah, I left for rural Iowa and have a house paid for. A nice house for $50,000 at the age of 28. I'm glad I left and I will not be back.
Nice! Congrats, that's awesome!!! Go Lions!
Born and raised in Utah.
Leaving ASAP, wages absolutely do not keep up with cost of living here. Its probably worse than alot of the country right now.
Thanks for sharing! I agree
Nice video, I happen to live in utah And many of my videos were filmed here. ❤🇺🇲😊
Nice! I love hearing from locals!
How are we number one when the economy has gotten destroyed in the past two or three years. Homes have over doubled and we are number 1?
Factoring all data points based on the 8 categories of data, Utah ranked #1 again this year. The economy isn't destroyed, but yes... inflation and high housing costs are hurting everyone
As a young new professional and Utahn, I have no idea how I’m going to afford a decent home for my family and I.
You're not alone either. Something has got to change
Idk about everyone but I’d be hype about the Olympics. I was to young in 2002 I’ve grown up watching them and want to see them myself. Plus it would boost company workload and I’d be making buckets
I'm excited for the Olympics but I also understand why many people do not want them here again
Nice video! I moved here Jan 2022 and I love this state.
Awesome, and welcome!!!
America has enough "bustling" cities, most residents of SLC do not want our city to become one. With growth comes problems (crime, corruption and class separation). Summer air quality will improve when California finally learns how to put out wildfires.
Thanks for sharing
Utah sucks now. Don't move here and plan on moving out if you're here.
That's one way to look at it. Do you plan on moving out?
@@scottdsteele no I just want everyone else to leave
Alright then!
Born and raised in Ogden, I've seen Salt Lake and Utah grow tremendously over the years. I personally do not mind the growth but I also know I'm a little odd. Also I remain skeptical that leaving the decision to do the right thing in terms of housing affordability in the same hands that got us into this mess in the first place is a good idea. Corporate developers need to be held accountable, not just for making housing for lower class Utahns impossible, but for making housing for lower class Americans impossible.
Thanks for sharing Raul!
I love utah and grew up here but im starting to dislike it
There are so many more buildings coming in and new homes and apartments. There is constant construction and now a lot more traffic. So much so that it takes me a half hour at the least to get from one job to another
I cant afford a house or apartment at all outside of a good deal with my friends dad who is my landlord.
Without my friend I'd still be at my parents house
I feel like im starting to get kicked out of my own town
I'm so sorry! What you're experiencing Is a serious problem and we need to get some solutions going
I'm probably moving to utah i'v been to utah many times I'm in Florida I just think things are a little bit more simpler over there compared to Florida Texas and California the places where I've lived
I would love to help you! Hit me up!
An economist will tell you to bring down prices is to streamline and deregulate. Subsidized housing doesn't work
We need far more homes, townhomes and units in order for prices to stop rising. Supply / Demand is the rule in economics that remains true
Great Vid🙌
Glad you enjoyed
don't move here
I get it
Do not move here! I can’t deal with one more vehicle on the road.
I get it!
so hype for the hockey team
Me too!!
As a 24 year old born in SLC it’s great to see the city grow! Housing costs aren’t as bad as people make it seem
People are no ot making it seem like anything, prices are known. What a stupid comment lol.
It's all based on each person's perspective for sure
Yes they are!! Try being a single mom.
Single moms have a very difficult time.... and my heart goes out to them. It takes a special woman to do it all with only the interest of their children in mind 🙏
I think it all depends on the area really. Living in a big city means housing costs are going to possibly get higher. As where if you go to say west furr I’m seeing mobile homes for 45 grand.
I have zero issue living in a small town especially if the cost of living is cheaper
“Outlaws” would go sooooo hard for a baseball team instead man, and I really like the “Yetis” for the Hockey team
I haven't considered Outlaws for baseball but I kinda like that!
Apartments are sprouting everywhere in Utah lol
Yes, we are growing rapidly here
Very happy Governor Cox didn't get to pass the subsidies.
Subsidies simply cause house price inflation because more money is available to buy homes.
For example, if you could afford $400k plus $50k in subsidies, you could offer $450k. Now the builder can sell the same home for an extra $50k. Those subsidies then increase taxes. You end up with higher-priced homes and taxes.
It's better to make the builder work more to make more. Streamlining the process of building creates more competition for builders to build more and price their homes more affordably to compete with other builders. This brings prices down.
Very well said. We've got to get something happening to make homes more affordable compared to people income
@scottdsteele I lived in Hong Kong for 1.5 years with my wife. At the time, our apartment cost us $1,300/month for 150 square feet. Extremely small. Everywhere can be affordable. The question is, how much do you get?
Good point
I love utah im a flatbed driver from CA! I been to every city and my favorite is hurricane!!
Awesome! You probably get to see so many places too
As someone who moved RECENTLY from NJ to SLC, SLC is objectively better in everyway still than NJ esepcially comparing to NYC and Philly and other cities in the tristate area. This includes renting and buying house costs. While high still cheaper than the mid east coast...however, let's keep it that way...please...I BEG you.
Thank you so much for sharing your perspective!
if you knew about the Blue Plate dinner, I love you.. miss that place so much
Yes! It's a shame they closed down...I had visited many times!
To everyone from out of state and considering moving to other states, Utah is the bomb. The people in Utah are very open and very tolerant of progressive ideas.
I agree..I see this playing out each and every day
Lol. Nice try
😁
I love SLC. Love living there. Love the people. And I can guarantee it's not the city getting "unrecognizable" that's my issue. It's the fact that rent is impossible to make here now. I love seeing the city grow. Too bad I'm not there to witness it though. As in the past decade rent has more than doubled and min wage remains the same. Ban Facebook. These Californians can go.
You're correct, housing has skyrocketed and become unaffordable for so many
I wasn’t born in Utah but I’ve lived here all my life, and it’s so sad that living here is getting more expensive, unless you find a house in the middle of nowhere built in the 1920’s, that’s 2 hours from anything.
It has gotten so much more expensive these last 4 years
People moving here doesn’t help, my mom who’s been here her whole life can’t afford a house, or even a two bedroom apartment in most cases. When I was a kid a 3 bedroom apartment was like $800. Now a studio apartment costs $2000 or more. It’s dumb.
I agree, housing costs have gotten to a breaking point for many
Great video!!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Can’t afford housing here for my family so I’m leaving Utah for a state that is as affordable as Utah used to be.
I totally understand
Utah is just getting way to crowded no room for crops
Agreed. Most crops in Utah are Alfalfa too which is a very water intensive crop
The holy war!! red vs blue
Absolutely!!!!
Ive been here in Salt Lake for 59 years; let's say 40 years of any sort of paying attention:
It's grown way too much in this time! My beef with what's going on is these 4 & 5 level prison cells they call apartments; that bring in huge quantities of people in little sardine can apartments, (most don't speak English) it doesn't take a economical genius to see why they are doing that and some people really can't handle taking care of a real house, but wow are they nasty looking!
I feel they are going to bring heavy loads of crime too. we are in no way running out of room, maybe in the valley; dang drive out 30-40 min endless room! especially west.
Seems to be all about money, that's for sure.
Here is to hope that the powers that be will not just line their wallets with tons of cash but really try to make things affordable especially for the younger folks just starting out!
Most kids are living at home while adults; or both work and they to live in a 1 bedroom tiny place, and get sterilized so they cant have kids,
I think we have a even bigger problem that the lake drying up.
Thanks for sharing!
I have a home on 1.3 acres and I’m courous on what someone could build if I sell.
Hi Gloria! I would be happy to through it with you on order to see the potential. Reach out anytime!
If the Olympics in Utah are anything like what Paris displayed, you wont want your kids watching that.
I understand
Great video. Please stop telling people.
Thanks Adam... and the secret is out already
At least you didn't mention how nice people are ,and they're even nice to people from California . And how everyone is armed to the teeth. Wich helps people stay more polite. ...I'll be back in the next year or two. Peace.
Peace 💥
Oh yipppeee we are becoming California!
In what way? In population we are @ 3.4 million compared to California's 39 million. Of course there are SO many other factors and I'm curious what you mean.
@@scottdsteelehe means that. lol that 3.9 is already too much
I understand the feeling that we're becoming a California but we're far from it at the same time
@@scottdsteeleI’m an 8th generation Utahn, love the state! I lived in Colorado for over 20 years as well…then back East for college. Utah to me was always a “best kept secret” one of the best places in the entire country…I especially realized this as I moved back in my early 20’s. Sure “we’re not close to California” as you mentioned….but let’s not hide the fact that it’s just a matter of time before we will be. California folks are coming here in droves. Our country’s open borders down south isn’t helping. We may not be Cali yet, but my feeling is that we sure as heck will be eventually. It’s just a matter of time before we get too populated, and politically speaking as states get overcrowded they start to be run like Cali…our state will get flipped to blue and then we become California with similar policy. I don’t want to believe it, and it may take a long time, but I have realized it’s inevitable. The “growing up” of the state is NOT a good thing.
Thanks for sharing! I love seeing people share their opinions here and I hope that Utah doesn't change as it grows too
Progress is inevitable and cannot be stopped simply because locals wish to. They will either adapt or leave. Personally, I'm very excited to see all the expansion and evolution SLC will go through over the next few years!!
I understand and agree and I also understand the opposite view as well.
Actually, it can be. Police ditactes "progress" whatever that means, usually just means a policy friendly to flooding people into a state. It's idiotic to pretend it's inevitable and it's not driven by policy
You're right here.... good public policy and a well run state and economy attract people to move here.... and the only way to detract rather than attract, is by doing a poor job with bad policies so which would you prefer?
Don’t California my Utah! Cost of living here is insane now
You're exactly right
I would love the Olympics to come back! Was a huge step for utah's economy we could really use that again !
Well it looks like it will happen in 2034. We will know on the 24th of July and there is a watch party for that announcement that will be held in downtown SLC starting @ 3 am that morning to celebrate the announcement coming from the IOC in Paris. There will be big screen T.V.'s set up, food trucks, etc. and it will be at Washington Square outside of the historic Salt Lake City & County building. I'm the 90's, there were over 50,000 people there for the announcement of the 2002 winter Olympic games.
Too expensive. Refuges.
We've got to stop it from continuing on the path that it is on.
DON'T MOVE TO UTAH WE ARE FULL ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE CALIFORNIAN
Why the hate for Californians?
You can't bring in this many people, then hope the cost of homes stay affordable. And don't even suggest government programs. We have all seen how that turns out.
Prices go up when the supply of homes doesn't keep up with demand
Nice episode buddy. Sorry about the stupidness, don't ask.
He is dead on about all of this. I was born in American Fork and my dad moved south in 98 to avoid city life. There's plenty of Utah if you look.
You should up your market bro , flip some of these ranches in Sevier and other farming areas. Richfield is a joke with realitors.
Good stuff though as always. 100% facts
Thank you so much for sharing!
He also owns Real Salt Lake.
He sure does!
I want more trains and less cars. (Stop building 6 lain plus roads they suck) maybe if the Olympics come here it will surge more public transport again.
More public transportation would be fantastic
Honestly can't wait to move out of here 😒😑😮💨
So tired of Utah
Cool, what do you not like about Utah?
No 1 state in the US? If you're talking about child death mortality rates then sure I agree 💯
I'm not sure where you're getting your information from but it's dead wrong. Several citations from various sources that include the actual data reveal that Utah is the 11th best in the nation with infant mortality rates.
I've been here 3 years and I'm going to be honest, if you're a transplant it's almost impossible to make friends. I have 1 friend here and he lives an hour and a half away.
Perspective. One will make friends here no different than anywhere else based on your level of finding, building and nurturing those friendships and relationships
@scottdsteele this is true. But I have found that most people out here don't want to know you unless they can benefit from knowing you some how. In my opinion, there's more of that here than in LA, CA. Which I never thought I would see the day that I would find a place like that or worse.
I would recommend finding other people because this isn't my experience or most of the many clients I've helped move here
@@scottdsteele unfortunately it's the experience for about 90% of veterans that moved here.
I understand. Hopefully this changes and / or those that do experience this can seek out find new connections and find a different experience.
Where are the trees gone
What trees?
We got a mad good hardcore scene tho
Huh?
I think he means the genre of music? Pretty sure my brother was into that and there's a bunch of genres that fall under the hard-core umbrella. Screamo esc death metal, grunge, etc etc.
Lol, I just must be so out of touch!
Horrible air quality
Agreed
@@scottdsteele I just want to be able to see the mountains from my work in west-valley-city corporate Park Dr
I get it
We are also 14th highest state for suicide rate.
You are correct!
Vote Phil Lyman
There it is! Tell me why
Utah needs harsher laws for DUI and pedos. Most problems will be gone. Build a mental institution alot of mentals in downtown. even middle class knows living in downtown is to expensive. These hobos are just beggers.
There's more to it than this
24 min with no sectioned, hard to watch something i dont know what it is
What are you saying?
@@scottdsteele meaning as a new user that got here, it hard to me to convince myself to watch 24 min video that i cant tell what you will be speaking about, having section helps, it also help skim and make sure if it something i may like, just felt you are local and i want to help you with feedback. Few who give feedback so want d to help
Thank you so much for the feedback! I've done chapters in the past but like everything, there are pros and cons to both including chapters as well as excluding them. When I've used them, people click to the chapters and bounce and it becomes so much more difficult to have decent watch time and to actually build a connection with the viewer. I may try them again soon though
The vast majority of LDS, will soon be leaving the state to relocate in Missouri, along with the church headquarters. At that time, the housing market here will absolutely collapse.
With all these “outsiders” moving into Utah, the morality of the State is changing and will soon be inhospitable for the Saints, who will once again pack up and leave to build a new gathering place.
That's one opinion and I get what you're saying as well, but this mass exodus leaving Utah to collapse won't happen
@@scottdsteele Wait and see….
Ok! I won't be holding my breath though
Perhaps the church shouldn’t have backed the globalist conservative fraud aka Cox
I don't know where you got your information but the church does not back any political candidate. Ever. This rhetoric gets regurgitated over and over and over and people just believe it because they've heard it over and over again. If you want to know the actions or words of an individual or an organization or a company, go straight to the source rather than listening to the noise.
Ugh 🤦♀️
Huh?
#1 at what?
What are you asking?
@@scottdsteele in the video it says Utah ranks #1 in the country. I was asking what is Utah is ranking 1st at?
Gotcha. Every year, a series of data points are used to determine rankings and Utah came in ranked #1 again this year. Those data points include: Economy, Health Care, Education, Crime & Corrections, Natural Environment, Fiscal Responsibility, Opportunity, and Infrastructure. When you cook them all together, out comes an overall ranking
@@scottdsteele oh so it means #1 state “to live in” essentially?
Pretty much, yes
discusting
What is disgusting?
Well at least the migrants haven’t made it here… yet.
People do migrate from all over, here to Utah as well
Ppl in utah need to stop crying and get over it - sick of the whining about people moving here and as a native; come!! Bring your whole family
Refreshing!!!!!
Sir, due to some extreme circumstances, I was forced to sleep in my car for a couple of weeks and you would be shocked by how many people here in Utah have to live this way due to the situation here.
I understand and affordable housing Isa crisis. I am making some meaningful connections as well asi become more and more passionate about this. Reach out to me if I can ever help you
With all the great global locations ; Utah is what ?........give up ?.........average
That's your opinion and just we all have one!
Average??? Uh, the economy is #1 and has been in the top 5 for the past what, decade? Average.. lmfao what an idiot.. tell
UDOT to get their heads out of their ass and build highways that have zero red lights.. going back and tearing up roads that aren’t even a decade old is foolish, (bangerter highway, soon to be mt view corridor).. Utah should have followed suit like Vegas and Phoenix (1-215, I-315, I-415) meaning highways that circle the city.. (too late on the east side, but totally feasible west of mt view along oqqihor mountain range..) that is the salt lake valleys biggest chokepoint snd weakness is their local
Highway system.. look at i15 near point of the mountain.. LEHI had to freeze new building because the infrastructure couldn’t handle the growth! That’s insane to think about, LEHI could have been the next centerpiece of the SL valley for high rises, would have been cool to see in my lifetime
I get what you're saying and thanks for commenting!!
Do not move here.
Why?
@@scottdsteele I'm surprised you ask. Supply and demand, as people move into a small area(nobody's moving to the desert, it's all in Moab and Wasatch) the cost of housing goes up and the wages stay low. Utah is particularly egregious about this right now, and where over 50% of our growth has come from in migration, we are highly incentivized to discourage new arrivals.
Crime has been increasing.
Homelessness is a problem.
I'm also not particularly fond of being approached my illegal Venezuelans in a Costco parking lot asking me for money, because that happened yesterday and it's happened to my friends in Salt Lake too.
I hear you! Utah is certainly changing and with that comes problems
@@scottdsteele you seem so dismissive.
I do not mean to be whatsoever, I'm responding to each and every comment here and at times it gets pretty overwhelming with how busy life and business and family gets. I read through each and every comment and I value what is shared. Thank you for sharing as well!
Separate church and state
How so?
