IF YOU ARE RELOCATING to Salt Lake City, Utah... DON'T! Us lifelong residents don't even recognize our home anymore. The influx of out of staters is no longer sustainable. It's quite literally pushing out people who've lived here their whole lives. I have the utmost respect and love to my core for these mountains and canyons. They are my church. People with no personal connection to the surrounding wilderness move here and treat our natural wonders like a Walmart parking lot. Zero understanding of the basic ethics & code between locals AKA leave no trace. Treat our mountains with reverence & grace. Don't get me started on what all the newcomers has done to the housing situation for locals. Hell, even driving here is different now. We've got a bunch of newcomers that have main characters syndrome apparently. So yeah... if you're relocating, please don't be trendy. Start your own trend. Find a place that could use a boost in their economy & has potential for growth. All you're doing by coming here is putting stress on air quality, natural resources. Those of us who have been here for generations just want to preserve what made us stay for so long in the first place.

I've lived in the Salt Lake Valley all my life. Started out in South Jordan when there were a few small neighborhoods near Bingham High School, surrounded by pastures and fields. As an adult I've lived in Taylorsville, right snack dab in the middle of the quadrants. It's convenient because we can quickly get to any freeway, Bangerter, Redwood Road, State Street, etc in a couple of minutes. We also have lots of shopping nearby and are 10 minutes away from 3 different Costcos and 2 Sam's Clubs, where we buy most of our food to cheaply feed our starving teenagers. Having traveled all over the western states, I will say that the infrastructure in the Wasatch Front is the very best. Our streets are laid out well, it's easy to navigate, and our roads are mostly well maintained. That being said, I can't wait until our youngest child graduates and my hubby retires from the FD, because we are out of here. It is waaaay too crowded here and they keep building high rise apartments all over the place, making the overcrowding worse. Also, Utah taxes retirement income, which is a deal breaker. I will miss the mountains but can always come for a visit.

Whyd you have to give anyone the idea of moving here?

The problem with the Wasatch front is the "corridor" affect combined with all the "small" cities crammed next to each other. It makes it so there is no to little room for expansion/growth of those cities. So these small cities need tax income, right. Well, be prepared for those small cities to look for revenue elsewhere, like by ticketing the populace to make up for no growth. It is crappy and it happens all along the Wasatch front. This guy wants to sell you a house in SLC, he don't care if you find you local police ticketing you as much as possible. There have been local news reports on this very issue... I am sure this happens in other "corridor" settlements as well, I advise you look for places with more possiblity to grow, like southern utah, its gorgeous there. Or the far north "Brigham city area", alas there's not alot of "work" up there, and the morning commute to/from SLC is packed. Oh and there is the wanning influence of the Mormon Church. Utah is there home state after all...

Where’s this time warp portal you’re hitting to get to SLC in 18min 😂😂

I grew up on Mount Olympus (Olympus Cove) where we crossed the street and started our hike up 'The Z-Trail' . We would hike to a stream that had the best tasting water. Sixty years later I don't recognize the bright, shiny city I knew. The Salt Lake City zip code is ravished, busting, pricey, ruined, gentrified, judged, hopeless. Salt Lake City has lost its charm.

As a lifelong resident of SLC, If you're considering moving to Utah County, I'm sorry, it's horrible out there. And while Daybreak is unique, it's build on the old Kennecott dumping ground. Of course you'll be reminded of this every time you look outside and see the destroyed mountain that is Kennecott.

Native Utahn here. Mt. Pleasant (Sanpete County) is my hometown which is such a great place to live and so beautiful right at the base of the Manti Lasal Mountain range. I now live in Echo (Summit County) and work at the Park City hospital. This county is growing so fast! I wish it would just stop but theres major developing everywhere you look here!

They air quality needs to be addressed HERE! It is often the worst in the nation. I believe quite a few of my relatives died of exposure over the years. I can not image how bad it is going to be in just a few years, with all the underplanned growth in the valley. :( I would not want my children to grow up in this soup.

I live in Tooele. It takes 45 minutes to get to the University of Utah on a good weather, no I-80 accidents day. Daybreak, super high property taxes. My son bought on the Herriman side of the road that divides the cities because of the taxes. The NE quarter is as blue as blue can be. The SE is getting there too.

A little disappointed to not hear anything about Commuter rail, light rail, BRT and regional bus. There are great areas where you can live car free or car light. Harvard-Yale and sugar house are excellent places to ditch the car. Driving sucks, and many families want to avoid it as much as possible.

Ogden is a hack. Lived in SL county most of my life, bought a house in Ogden for about 60/70k less than comps in Salt Lake. I can walk to local restaurants and coffee shops. Old world tree growth. In the canyon in 5 minutes. Yes, some lower income residents & different crime than newer developed areas. Haven't had personal problems, nor have my neighbors. Lots of pockets of young professionals renovating older homes here, myself included. Almost want to gatekeep, but its a great community that is continually getting better. The old stereotypes are very outdated.

Ive lived in Utah County 60 years. Either I've simply gotten used to it or I'm a masochist, not sure which.

Glad we built in Draper 30 years ago. No way we could afford it today.

I live in the north west and want to be southeast. Magna is getting really popular as well for planned neighborhoods.

This is the BEST explanation video by a realtor I have ever watched, this is exactly what I wish was available for every area before contemplating a move! A well explained map, plenty of back ground on the neighborhoods, costs, traffic and travel explanations, and amenities. Great job!

Not sure I understood you: Is a major league baseball stadium planned for the Power District or the Daybreak District? Or both? Are those two areas in competition for it? Also, if a hockey stadium is built, where will it likely be?
