Let me know what state we should do next. Please leave a like.

Another major reason behind the air is that we're in a bowl surrounded by mountains and the pollution gets trapped with no good way for air to push it out.

Great video. My wife and I moved to Salt Lake City in October 2020. We left in January 2021. Just wasn’t for us. Absolutely loved Bryce Canyon National Park and Zion.

It’s Ryan hall yall, I watch him for the weather as well and he’s great! Just commenting this so anyone who’s looking for him

[TBIhope]

I live in Utah and I think this was a very fair assessment of our problems.

Briggs shouting out Ryan Hall is the crossover of my two faves that I didn’t know I needed ❤️

[RickGuttery]

I live in Harriman Utah, southwest part of the Salt Lake City Valley. Your video is spot on! But like everywhere in the world, places have their good and bad items. If you don't like where you live, move to someplace else. Keep up the good

Most of the negatives are a positive for me. I think I could be very comfortable there

[surewave]

I'm glad you made this because too many people are moving to Utah and it's getting too crowded which also makes it harder to get jobs.

Much love to everyone and their families from Cedar City Utah USA 🙈🍄🤠

Ex-Mormon who moved to Utah and left the church some time later; have lived in very rural Utah (my mountain cabin dream home) for decades now, and I love it. If you are insecure enough to have to completely blend and mesh with the culture surrounding you to be happy, don't come. If you can live and let live--have confidence in your own self while respecting others for their own values, you will be fine. Hoping that y'all talk yourselves out of coming and stay away, so that we can continue the secret paradise we have going here (not the city mind you--they can keep it; different universe in the countryside).

I live in Happy Valley, Oregon, and I am going to retire in Saint George, Utah, in 2 years. Just love the place

Having lived in Utah many years I can add four items. 1) The drivers are personally vindictive and will seek to "get back" at you if you pulled in front of them, didn't go fast enough, etc.... I have driven in all 50 states, lived in a few other states, and never seen this behavior anywhere but Utah and eastern Idaho. 2) Don't be fooled by Briggs' statement that Utah "conservative". Yes, socially conservative, but the people are Utah support big government big-time. 3) Water rights are not tied to a property but must be obtained separately when one is in a rural area. A friend bought a house in a small mountain town and the "water board" immediately disconnected his water delivery because the owner had not sold him the "water rights", something few people from elsewhere would even think to ask about. He ended up having to haul water from the nearest big town in a big tank on a trailer. 4) Some years ago the Ogden Examiner (IIRC) had an article about how the FBI had to open a special field office in Salt Lake City because the Ogden-to-Provo corridor was the Number 1 originator of financial fraud schemes in the United States. Be very cautious!

I was seriously dating a Mormon way the hell back in the early 80s, and went to Provo to meet his family. Mormons in Utah are completely different from Mormons outside of Utah: outside, they are the sweetest, kindest, most generous people you'll ever meet. In Utah, they are the majority and can express/flaunt all their narrow-mindedness, self-righteousness, and stereotyping of different ethnic and religious groups. It was a glimpse of what my life would be like - well, that and the aggressive "encouragement" for women to have as many children as biologically possible - and I got outta there (and outta the relationship) at warp speed.

Great job! As a Utahn for 60 years, please discourage people from moving here. Most of us live in a concentrated megalopolis (Wasatch Front) and it's getting way too crowded!

[robertzamora]

Just perfect timing for my lunch break . Love seeing a fresh Mr Briggs videos . Hope everyone found a happy moment in their day .

[Jace]

I’m a native Utahn. I love Utah! I hate the aggressive drivers who seem to think they own the road. The summers and Fall are spectacular!

A positive is that just one county in Utah has more fun public lands than all of the boring Midwest combined.

[Allen-Trav]

I am late to this party! I lived in SLC for about 30 years, but left about 2 years ago. Your assessment is accurate. But SLC and a few connected cities have excellent public transportation.

The Wasatch Front has changed drastically in the last 15 years, with a cost of living that competes with Denver and Portand, but with a higher cost of living to wage disparity.

Spot on Briggs! I moved from Ohio 12 years ago and currently live in Ivins/St. George. Everything you stated in the video I see here. You should do a video on St. George sometime.
