Best things about the Salt Lake City area are the winter sports opportunities and summer camping, fishing, hiking. Also we have a lower than avg unemployment rate. Crime rate prob a little lower than avg for a city this size. A lot of sunshine except during winter months. Lots of cultural stuff to do/experience- live theater, concerts, galleries.
Negatives: air not very clean, esp in midwinter when we get periodic valley inversions. Pay levels arent good compared to some places, but house prices average or a little more. Property taxes arent bad though.It's colder than a lot of other cities in winter with a lot of snow.
I've enjoyed living here for more than 30 yrs but want to go somewhere a little warmer and sunnier with cleaner air when I retire in a few yrs. Minorities may feel very outnumbered here, it's about 90% white/anglo but that is changing.
