Grew up in Utah. I live in a very red part of the state and overall dont mind it. Its a geographically blessed place and there is so much stuff to do and see. But we are already planning our exit for a few years from now. Its extremely expensive to live here, and my salary just isnt going as far as Id like it too. Everything is expensive. The power grid is unstable. Taxes are painful. And the politics in sacramento arent my thing.
