Why do people choose to live in Utah?

Family and mountains. Those are our two reasons.

ballen

It's a great state if you enjoy the outdoors.

dilbert

3/15/19 1:14pm

That's the reason everybody seems to give, but what happens when you have 3 million people out there

you go where they aren't. crazy how that works.

Sea Chicken

There's still plenty of room to get away from everyone if you want to.

dilbert

3/15/19 2:04pm

oh yeah, so a lot of the 3 million don't camp, fish or hunt. that makes it

It isn't like they all go to the same trail, park, mountain on the same day.

Have to add Lake Powell

3/15/19 2:13pm

Powell is great, but the AZ end of the lake (Wahweap) is the best part IMO

people want to live next to where their mom (I.E. Family) lives and lots of LDS

The only draw for me would be family — but that just isn't enough

It's horrible. We're all relegated here as part of some twisted form of punishment.

soupie

3/15/19 1:13pm

Definitely leave and never come back. Tell everyone else the same.

cougarbob137

3/15/19 1:14pm

I would take reciprocity for you staying out of AZ and telling your friends.

ugo1st

3/15/19 1:30pm

Interesting that someone from Arizona would use the term Hell to describe Utah.

Hank Rearden

3/15/19 1:31pm

Done. Only part of AZ ever been to is the little corner going from St George to Vegas. You're welcome.

soupie

3/15/19 1:32pm

Deal. Could you also stop Californians from entering my state through yours?

cougarbob137

3/15/19 1:35pm

If I could solve the the California problem, I'd be a very rich man.

ugo1st

3/15/19 1:39pm

wait, I get not liking Utah, but you're trashing Utah in favor of Arizona?

Martin Van Nostrand

3/15/19 1:38pm

Public lands, mountains, noticeable changes in seasons, lots of good people

StarMan

3/15/19 1:15pm

Yes. Don't move here. It's awful.

RSL

3/15/19 1:16pm

That's not even on the table.

ugo1st

3/15/19 1:30pm

Lucky you man, we are dying out here.

RSL

3/15/19 2:10pm

Some people like pollution, bad traffic, rising taxes, poor public education

So you hate Chick-fil-a too?

You’re assuming all chick fil a’s are he’ll at lunch

Family, BYU sports, outdoors, culture, familiarity

Ah, I see AZ. I could definitely live in Arizona. I hear haboobs are in!

StarMan

3/15/19 1:33pm

Haboobs are very exciting and large.

ugo1st

3/15/19 1:34pm

Can one even go out on a lake in their motorboat in the middle of a haboob?

StarMan

Not a person with any sort of sense.

They like yelling racist things at Russell Westbrook twice a year.

fredgarvin

3/15/19 1:20pm

well screw that, I'm not moving there!

Avery

3/15/19 1:22pm

So we do not have to live by you.

kansascougar

3/15/19 1:21pm

I don't have a reason to move.

BYUALWAYSNUM1

3/15/19 1:23pm

Not sure. It's losing a lot of its appeal

TNT

3/15/19 1:24pm

because BYU sports sucks now or what is it for you? Cost of living increase?

Mayor of Cougartown

3/15/19 1:26pm

Rude CBers, high cost of living, crowded, air quality, and stuff

TNT

3/15/19 1:28pm

forgot about the air quality issue.

Mayor of Cougartown

3/15/19 1:34pm

I don't get it. Were you expecting something special at Chik-fil-A?

kccougar

3/15/19 1:29pm

I'm always expecting something special at Chik-fil-A.

Sea Chicken

People like to be enlightened.

You won't leave and you'll love complaining about it.

Would love to live in Utah if I could make more

Enjoying the outdoors and shopping on Sunday is absolutely the best here in UT.

Kauai

Utah is more than just Utah County and Salt Lake County.

Richbyu

3/15/19 2:15pm

That's very true. But if I said "SL County" then everybody would have agreed

ugo1st

3/15/19 2:29pm

Find that funny b/c most people complain about the LDS culture yet SL Co is the least LDS of anywhere.

soupie

Complains about Utah...goes there for spring break. LOL.
