As far as road rage and worst drivers. I work as an over the road truck driver, y’all will never be as bad as Atlanta,Ga, nyc,ny, or chicago,Illinois. Utah is actually one of my favorite states and salt lake has been really good to me.
@@scottdsteele i love Utah, no complaints here. Utah is the first state were Ive actually said the words “look how beautiful it is here.” Im looking forward to coming back.
Second video I’ve seen of yours and just found your channel … but not sure I can handle all the zoom-ins and outs in all your videos. Great information though, but ease up on the zooms - not sure if you are editing these in or if it’s a camera thing or what. Thank you for the info … will come in handy
Thanks for that feedback! I'm now working with an editor and I've been telling him the same exact thing. I'll keep getting better so please keep the feedback coming... it helps me get better!
You are correct Matt! It is a different place for sure and although it is changing and has changed alot just in downtown Salt Lake these last couple of years, it's still not the same nor will it be as many other/ all other cities
Hi Callie! That's awesome! I would love to help you guys in any way that I can. To answer your question, let's connect and rather than just tell you... I'll take my camera and go show you in depth what's going on downtown including with homelessness
I would say the pros of visiting Utah is the outstanding conditions for snowboarding and skiing in the winter at Deer Valley, Park City, and many other surrounding resorts. Of the ski homes that we considered, they were all priced over 4 million. But it is expensive to build in the mountains. Utah also has a handful of beautiful national parks in the southern part of the state. And one of the pluses of not having a diverse population is there really is no crime. The negatives I suppose would be the air quality at various times, the extreme climate and the Mormon cult, LDS. There is a huge cultural influence that comes from the Mormon religion, especially in Utah County where the population is roughly 90% Mormon.
Thanks for sharing! The Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is not a cult and the fact that many are still willing to do freely and easily express bias against, hatred for, and discriminate against the church and it's members (who settled this beautiful state) boggles my mind. What is this "Cult" doing that's making you feel that it's such a negative? I have countless acquaintances, friends, neighbors, clients and family who aren't members of this church who love it here and love living amongst these people. Can anyone imagine if we spoke like this about the current protected classes today? Or any other religion that isn't Christian? Bizarre.
Who would you say this? This isn't even close to what is happening to say the least, and although I truly respect others perspectives and opinions, no single person's small circle of influence can even come close to telling the story of the big picture... why do you say this?
I agree! I'm from here but my wife and her family (who live here now) are all from southern California and they helped convince me that we really do have rude drivers here.
I live in Utah grew up in orem Utah and I live up north now I have a career job and I own my own car and Utah has so much to do but there is a lot of stupid criminals in Utah west valley city Utah is full of criminals and drug addics Stupid people..if you want to live in Utah best place to live in Utah is tremonton Utah up north everything cost less and isn't crowded.. Utah County is growing to fast and California people are moving in and bringing criminals and driving way too fast and driving with anger road rage is big in Utah County 😳the mormon church is in Utah and the state capital building is great to visit and see the historic museum...
I will say this, everything is relative to one's own life experience and subject to what one's opinion is that makes a place great to live in. For some, that's the small town of Tremonton. For others, it's Salt Lake City, Park City, or Mapleton. It just all depends on what someone is looking for. As for crime, I would encourage anyone to look up the data and Utah ranks very high for the best states to live in including with respect to crime. Lastly, yes there are many people moving here from California but it only accounts for less than 20% of those moving here. The top 2 counties that people are coming from has been Clark County (Las Vegas) and Maricopa County (Phoenix) and as for bad drivers... that's a homegrown problem that I simply do not understand.
Many people feel this exact same way. I agree that prices just aren't sustainable but in order for a bubble to burst, the conditions for a bubble to first exist need to be present and they just aren't, hence the reason that it's not happening. Real Estate is the ultimate example of the age old principle of supply vs demand and there are so many factors at play that is and has kept this equation out of balance (high demand and too low of a supply).

That's crazy! I hope that we don't ruin Utah for you in the future when you're passing by!

I love it! And thank you!
Great information, thank you for the video on Utah!
Thanks Greg!
Thanks for the videos, can you make one about small towns?
You bet! Any towns specifically?
Hi Scott, I think Salt Lake is a very major city. I know it’s spread out but I think it’s huge. I noticed you had mentioned that!

You’re welcome … please don’t take it personal. just an observation.
I read Utah is number one for road rage. Have you dealt with road rage?
I certainly have! The answer is yes, and yes utah is known for bad drivers. It's certainly one of the CONS
@@scottdsteele I would say we are worse than Las Vegas
I would say the worst drivers in the nation that I've encountered have been in South Florida
Coming with my family to visit the night 5 national parks
That's awesome! Enjoy your visit and let me know if you want any help to know where to go while you're here too!
You forgot to mention the lack of nightlife, and how everything shuts down at 9 PM.
You are correct Matt! It is a different place for sure and although it is changing and has changed alot just in downtown Salt Lake these last couple of years, it's still not the same nor will it be as many other/ all other cities
@@scottdsteele To be honest, that is a plus for me!
Are scorpions a bad problem in utah?
Not in the areas where almost everyone lives. Southern Utah does have them, but not northern Utah.
Hey, how would you describe studying in Utah at a university/college ?
I personally had a great experience @ SLCC and then The "U" (University of Utah)
Hi Scott, my husband and I are considering moving to SLC for a short term. How is the homeless situation downtown? Thanks!
Hi Callie! That's awesome! I would love to help you guys in any way that I can. To answer your question, let's connect and rather than just tell you... I'll take my camera and go show you in depth what's going on downtown including with homelessness
You cannot buy any lottery in this state. Also coffee options are few and far.
Both of these are true! There are many more coffee shops in Salt Lake City now however
Salt Lake City Utah - All 4 letter words
Lol, I have never thought of it this way! That's funny

Newcomers are now bailing out of Utah--Most arrived not knowing what it is like living among Mormons
Who would you say this? This isn't even close to what is happening to say the least, and although I truly respect others perspectives and opinions, no single person's small circle of influence can even come close to telling the story of the big picture... why do you say this?
Native Californian. The drivers really are terrible here. Don't know why. 🤷🏻♂️

The real estate bubble is ready to burst, don't buy now. It is not inventory or mortgage rates, prices are just unsustainable.
