We could live anywhere in UT with my job and like Eagle/Boise more

Have you tried to drive from the freeway to Eagle during rush hour? What should be a 5 minute drive is 30 min. Idaho

Yes and no for us.. true street traffic is annoying but there is so much

Eagle really is great. But there just isn't enough shopping there to stay isolated.

Good. Last I heard was Meridian wouldn't widen the roads per Costco's requirement.

I had to read it 2x. Basically, move out of UT and make it work. Don’t force it.

Won't employers simply have to pay more? I know we had to do that this year as

You'd think. But there is an arrogance with Utah employers thinking they have a captive audience. And in many cases

What’s going to cause the crash? Demand is high. Very high.

They are willing, but I don't see the salaries to match the prices. You can't tread water indefinitely.

What???? We sold our house in Utah in 2007. It has only now returned to the value we sold it for.

Utah is still about avg cost. Not cheap anymore.

I think the issue with many Utahns is trying to live above their means

Good commonsense take. America in general tends to try to live above its means.

Wondering the same thing. The benefits of moving to Utah, say, from a state like CA, are dwindling. It's absolutely

I disagree. The advantages vs California are accelerating due to California

That could be said about many people living in many communities.

It's not worth it. 2/3 of the people should just move to another state.
