[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The battle for water rights and access is real. SLC is facing a significant water crisis - beyond conservation efforts - with some areas using water trucks. [/quote]

+1 This is going to be a huge issue going forward. Why contribute to it?

Also, a huge part of their problem is no doubt that there aren't any other major population centers within a day's drive of SLC, and most people don't want to be that far from home. Boulder has the same problem, but not some of the other issues mentioned.[/quote]

Vegas is an easy 6 hour drive. SLC airport is 15 minutes from campus. Also within a 6 hour drive:  all of Utah’s national parks (Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Escalante, Bryce, Capitol Reef, Grand Canyon), Moab, Jackson Hole, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Sun Valley, Targhee, Saint George (underrated but stunning, especially if you golf or cycle), Lake Powell, Boise.

Water is a big issue.  Hopefully it deters new people as I think the Covid boom was all we can take.

The anti Mormon sentiment is borderline bigotry on here.  Mormons who choose Utah over BYU are a different breed. Mormons who would be your neighbor in SLC or Park City are UMC or wealthy and they are generally more progressive. The rest live in Utah County (closer to BYU), where you’d never go other than for kids’ sports, unless you work in silicone slopes, though plenty of people work in Utah County and live in SLC or PC.

The casual classism in this post is absolutely shocking. Like, what, they’re good people because they’re rich??[/quote]

PP. More like they’re less pious and more mainstream, but you’re right - it doesn’t look good and I’m stopping now.[/quote]
