I'm a lifelong Utahn and I always thought the grid system was more of a selling point than a liability. Probably something that I would have warned people about, rather than the grid system, is about the people, themselves. Utahns, by and large, are very polite people. However, people from elsewhere mistake that for "friendly". Yes, some of us are friendly, but please don't be disappointed if you find it difficult to make social connections here. Polite is different from friendly.

Air pollution, unfriendly people, high cost of living, lack of biodiversity with birds, fish, and other animals, and long cold Winters make Utah very depressing. People from Utah well connected tend to do fine in Utah. I dread that I came to Utah and don't have some personal wealth like a vehicle to make another move like to Kansas or Missouri. Don't move to Utah to retire. Do move to Utah if you're positioned for a great 6 figure job. If I do end up homeless, then I'll Greyhound to Missouri to restart life. It's a desert in more ways than just being a desert, but if you're professional person positioned for something, then you're golden.

[@Blujonny11]

If you really want to enjoy living in Utah you really need to be passionate about the outdoors or church. Or your job. If you're self-employed even better. There really is a major cultural vacuum outside of those things. There's (obviously) no beach, no music culture, no drinking culture, no sub-culture and no outdoor restaurant social culture. And a lot of people really lean on these things (in other cities) when they're not working or spending time with their families. There also really is no traditional working class culture here either. You won't find too many greasy spoon diners, old local mom n' pop businesses, historic traditional delis, old ice cream parlors, anything like that. You'll notice that most people here are middle/upper middle class. And there's really a feeling that most of the businesses seem quite new. It's probably a bonus (also) if you love talking everybody's heads off because otherwise either people don't engage with strangers here or after a while they only want you to listen to their one sided conversations ;)

[@UberHaas]

[@Blujonny11]

@@UberHaas But you're talking about a 'clique' smattering of a music club/venue here or there. I'm talking about cities where an actual 'street' and adjacent streets are known for their music venues. That's an actual 'culture.' Just because I build a bunch of McDonalds doesn't make it a 'culture.' What you're talking about is tantamount to a secret society of musicians.

[@hackmedia7755]

cultural vacuum is all around America especially with brainwashing from tv. Drinking is not a culture, it's degeneracy. Want real culture, learn an art or play an instrument. Also going out and eating is not a culture either, all of America does it nonstop and now they're overweight and depressed. Nearly 70% of Americans are overweight.

[@oldschoolhawking8191]

Two things I noticed when I used to visit Utah. In the summer time, it would be a nice 95° day, then all of a sudden it gets windy and the clouds move in and it starts raining. The wind kicks up the dirt from the surrounding desert and it's now raining mud. If you were driving, you'd have to pull over and a half hour later, it's sunny again. The second thing is the bad drivers. It's like they don't know what a turn signal is, they make lane changes without even looking in their mirrors.😮

[@livinginslc]

Thank you for sharing your experiences from living in Utah! 👏👏

[@jessicaandscottcurtis2887]

I can say that Utahns are most definitely bad drivers! Maybe we're so used to swerving to miss pot-holes or orange barrels.

[@jessicaandscottcurtis2887]

As a 40-year Utahn. Here are my responses to each reason. Judging by the actual title, I am talking about Salt Lake City proper, not all the surrounding cities. ONLY SLC. 1 - The winter snowfall is a hit and miss. Some years we have more, others much less. Back in the late 80's we had a lot more. 2 - I agree, it's not Arizona, but it is dry. I was in Florida last year and I will gladly take the dry hot over the humid hot. 3 - The inversion is gross. Gives people a reason to wear a mask in the winter time. The bad air gets trapped and unless there is a storm, yeah, it's gross and it makes hiking for a view a downer. 4 - Housing is insane. Our home was 229K in 2015 and now hovers around 550K. It's not right. 5 - You do NOT want to live in downtown Salt Lake City. If you want to live in an apartment, then you're fine but the city still sucks nowadays. The mayor and her crony city council want to allow high-rise apartment builds galore. Limited options available and every new build has to have low income housing as well. 6 - We're talking about Salt Lake City yeah? Change your title because Salt Lake City has zero open space. The title is specific to SLC. Utah does have open space, but I digress. 7 - No comment. It is what it is. 8 - Accurate. There is the Great Salt Lake. There is a body of water (Jordan River) that travels from Utah Lake (to the south) and northward to the Great Salt Lake. Stay out of that river. It's disgusting and they find bodies in it. Outside of SLC yes, there are lakes, rivers, and streams. 9 - The stereotypes that exist are very different. Downtown SLC proper is very liberal. You know she wants to mention the M word, but in actuality, they are more friendly than the far left people that exist in SLC. If you find better company around conservative Christians without all the woke, then you are better off staying out of SLC, Sugarhouse, Millcreek. But everywhere else, you don't see as much of that far left propaganda. SLC proper is surrounded by other municipalities; mostly to the south that are all connected, so even though it may look like it's part of SLC, it's not. Downtown SLC does not reflect the majority LDS faith, it's weird but true. 10 - The roads here are grid, unless you're on the east side. So much easier, but watch out for the orange barricades because there is construction everywhere.

[@angelam.4859]

So, I'll be the nerdy paragraph guy who talks about the benefits of grid or numbered streets. While winding or straight roads with only street names and not numbers are more pleasant, it's easy to get lost in a new area without a map or satellite navigation. Much time is spent just finding which end of Oak Street you're searching for. Or was it Oak Avenue? Or Oak Drive? Even a delivery person can mix up mail between these similar streets. Roads (both winding and in a grid) which include street numbers (with or without street names) can indicate the cardinal directions and distance from the main street or center of a town. These ensure that I won't get lost and won't need a map or sometimes questionable navigation. Think of this being organized as an XY axis quadrant. A center or main street can have any name but it exists at the zero point of an East/West or North/South axis, or perhaps where both meet at the actual center of a city. It's like a local lat/long geolocation. It's efficient. Yes, it's boring, but no other house or business or dot in the XY quadrant in that city can be confused with yours. If I'm in a city for the first time and I find myself at an intersection of a south street and an east street and am looking for 215 North 300 West, I know I need to drive northwest. No Siri is needed. As I drive, I'll see the street numbers decrease until I reach a center street or main street, then see the numbers increase as I drive further away from that zero point of the axis. I can enjoy driving along several streets from the other end of the city until I reach 300 West, without worrying if each one is the tree street or presidential street that I wanted. Once on 300 North, I do what everyone does and follow the increasing or decreasing street numbers and then the increasing or decreasing house numbers until I reach the house with 215 North as its house number. One side of the street will have odd house numbers and then even on the other side. If the street numbers are larger than 300, I know I passed it and need to turn around. So, there's my two cents. Maybe someone will enjoy reading it or maybe not.

Keep in mind, that 60 percent increase in housing costs will equal a 60 to 80 percent collapse of the value of the home when the correction arrives. That's a hellova bag to be holding.

salt lake city other to add on your 10 list and never been there, besides the 50 plus inches of snow a year is the humidity/dew point. people think because humidity low its just dry and u r sweat free. that is not true. its the dew point that makes it feel muggy uncomfortable and sweaty. in over 30 years salt lake city has had dew point 70% 3 times but, last year they had 72%. when the dew point goes over 65% thats when the sweat glands open. maybe all this because of climate change. i've been to hawaii a few times and people say its great weather and perfect climate. its not unless u like to sweat to death. i really dont know why people live there. im close to singapore and its worse. been there and all these super rich mostly chinese live there and the same the weather climate is more horrible. oh well wanted to share date i found and facts. stay warm. i know winter there. here in phnom penh cambodia 93% hot humid and polluted. almost every day like this why im coming home. i like listening to u and your videos, however it may not b the place for me. take it easy, patrick.

Avoid SLC if you cannot handle homeless camps and drug addicts everywhere. Everyone talks about how bad it is on the west coast. It's just as bad here. And they do it openly.

I don't have any idea what it was but my lungs burned and I felt really weird for about 30 minutes. This is not a safe community for families and particularly for children.

[@highwind1369]

I'm a mail carrier in South Salt Lake. Yeah there's homeless folk. But it's really not this shattering thing that makes life difficult. Like they exist. But it's not stopping transit or business or folk raising kids in a safe and clean environment throughout the state. It's really concentrated to small geographic areas in SLC. 20 minutes away in any direction and you'll see panhandle folk, but not tents and carts and such. If you really hate seeing homeless folk existing, you can just be somewhere other than the center of SLC.
