The housing market is ridiculous in Utah. Nothing is affordable.

[Kltn.worldpeace]

I live in Utah. Please don’t move here. Thank you. Have a wonderful day.

[BrianWaller-qegr]

Fun fact….every driver in every state swears they have the worst drivers.

[SuperZippyzippy]

Slow drivers in the fast lane is notorious here

[andyxmunoz]

$3000 mortgages on townhomes that are tiny, wall to wall at $430K with $1200 quarterly HOA’s… and we have the worst income disparities among the country. Big companies know they can pay you much lower as a Utahn. Be prepared to have a couple side hustles to survive.

Also, night life is super lame.

I am not mormon or from utah and the majority of mormons have been extremely good to me.They treat me better than my own ppl as a minority ..

[JPShepard]

I'm LDS and have lived here for 30 years, 65% of my life. Rude drivers: check. I admit I've been one of them, but I'm getting better! Mormon exclusivity: check. But it is incorrect to stereotype us all that way. I think maybe half or so have a judgment problem at some point, but we are human and change as we grow, so don't overgeneralize us for that either. The other half are very understanding and empathetic. Newcomers to any location need to remember the self-fulfilling prophecy. If you see your neighbors as bad people, they'll sense it and become defensive. Remember LDS has a history of being persecuted and can become defensive. I think we generally like people and will be very welcoming if not attacked first. Basic human nature.

NOT ENOUGH The SLC metro needs to get less people, not more. If the GSL dries up, the whole city is going to have toxic air.

I grew up in utah
(No hate btw)
But growing up not mormon in my own experience has been lonely, no kids could ever hang out after school, no sleep overs, barely ever could play videogames with my friends online
I moved into a neighborhood with another household what wasnt mormon and they became my closest friends growing up but it was a bubble, school was entirely different
The mormons are fine upstanding people in my view but it is isolating.
Air quality, Housing Market, construction, Drivers, even food, I do agree with those being problems

[patandsandytrierweiler]

Yknow, I moved to Utah about 30 years ago and was impressed by the couteous drivers...my, how things have changed! I think it's the increased crowding.

[alaskavet]

Not just winter air quality. It’s bad year round. Whenever you have a high pressure weather pattern, it’s going to put a lid on that surface pollution.

[cynthiabower]

As a Wyomingite with family and friends in Utah, I don't ever plan to live there. As wonderful and beautiful as it is, the tax structure would be my biggest concern. I can enjoy visiting and get back to the calm and less taxed comfort (except for the wind) of Wyoming. That may be the BIGGEST reason people don't want to be in Wyoming - Wind

[Kevinmulhalljr]

Traveled to SLC & Ste George about two dozen times while working for an airline. As a current Texan and former Oklahoman, you're not even close to the worst drivers. As for LDS, that's not on them to accept new people and the ones I've interacted with have extended me the same courtesy I've provided them. As someone that's moved quite a bit (CA, GA, OK, OH, IL and now TX) I've come to realize there's a culture to every region in the US and this whole idea of social terraforming - people trying to change their 'new home' into the one they purposefully abandoned - I find offensive. It seems the state is doing a lot right based on its economic success and low crime. Only thing that concerned me was the increasing amount of homeless in Salt Lake over the last 5-6 years

[Ckn]

Utahs cool. We moved here 10 years ago. You get what you give. Just make sure you wait for a few cars to run a red light before you go

[justaoldguy]

As a native Californian, who moved to Utah, by way of Texas, I can tell you that I think the number one contributor to rude Utah drivers is that this state has no requirement for drivers education. If we don’t teach people how to be a courteous Driver how can you expect them to become so?

[PhantomWorks]

He’s not lying about the food. It’s absolutely terrible. Way too many chain restaurants and folks with bland taste buds. There’s not a single pizza joint that can compete with any decent pizza place.

[GodHasThis]

To all of you who don’t like living in Utah, we’re okay with you moving to another state. The crowds have really gotten out of control here. No, I don’t attend the LDS Church, but they are all very giving and willing to be there for anyone in need!! ♥️♥️

[danielburns]

I’ve lived in Utah for 4 years, and I’ve enjoyed my time here. My biggest issue is the total lack of separation of church and state. It’s pretty blatant.

[Latter-Day-dad]

Don't move to Utah. It sucks. Nothing to see here. Move along. I hear Texas is wonderful for you.
