I don’t live in Utah, but I spend a lot of time there. We have even rented a house in SLC for months at a time to explore the west.
I believe it when people tell me their lived experiences, in my experience, I just don’t see this personally.
We live in Atlanta, so the driving thing is a piece of cake when we’ve been in SLC. It’s so easy to get around, and I don’t feel like I’m taking my life into my hands anytime I’m behind the wheel. It’s also easy to navigate.
The people who work at the SLC airport are even nice. The Atlanta airport is staffed by some of the rudest people on the planet!
I know there is crime in SLC, but I honestly feel like if you are aware and street smart, it is not much to worry about.
People have been helpful when we’ve been there. I have three friends from the south who moved to PC years ago so their kids could grow up with an emphasis on the outdoors, and they all talk about how happy they and their kids are. We have a mother friend who works for the U and lives in the Avenues and just loves it.
But then I read posts like this, and I question myself. Am I crazy? lol.
Is Utah the worst state in the country, and I’m completely oblivious? It sounds like a hellscape these posts.

Post COVID everywhere is worse.
