As a former Californian, I love Utah. Ive been here for 12 years. I hate California and will NEVER move back. I probably would have wound up either back on drugs or dead. My life was saved.
I’ve lived in Southern Utah most of my life, and it’s definitely changed a lot over the years as it’s grown. In my opinion, the only thing that’s truly gotten worse is the traffic and how poorly people seem to drive now. I think this is mostly because locals aren’t used to handling the high influx of traffic, but I could be wrong. The “Don’t California my Utah” sentiment has gotten out of hand. People blame California for everything, even when it doesn’t make sense. I think it has more to do with people liking to get into a pack mentality and blame the “others” for everything that is going wrong in their lives. I have a bunch of family that lives in California, and I have spent a few summers out in California with my Grandma. The people I have been around out there never seemed to be any better or any worse. People are people no matter where the live with the good and the bad. But that is my personal view on it.
@@scottdsteeletrue but in all honesty it’s because they often come here and treat those of us who grew up here as yokels and peasants. I used to have many of them as clients and the casual destine many of them talk about native Utahans was generally offensive. It’s certainly not all of them but it’s enough.
I completely understand where you're coming from. From my experience over the last 4 years, more and more Californians are almost hesitant and/or embarrassed to say that they are from California because they a) don't buy the lies being sold in California or b) they don't want the push back or the friction that might come from the few people here that might express hate or negativety for their coming here
It's so odd for people to assume that Mormons just go around checking your religious affiliation so they can then proceed to be mean to you 😂 in my experience, people mind their own business and are polite.
I'm not Mormon or any religious faith. No one has ever given me a hard time for not being religious. We all just simply mind our businesses. Unless your name is Karen.
Utah is just as expensive as california. You just have a lot nicer homes in utah since a lot of it is newer construction. Also, i dont have a clue how people in utah afford to live. Their wages suck
You likely have to commute in both states for work. When I lived in Cali (18 yrs total) my commute distances were usually at least twice what I commute now in Utah. Whats the price of gas in Cali? Utah? Do the math for one year...your higher wages in Cali are just to get you to your job in gas costs
I think it's mostly the weather. Prior to moving here Californians have the wrong idea of what our winter is really like. It only takes a few weeks in the low 20s for them to realize that maybe this isn't the place for them and make them go back!!
@@peacheedandee I don't know why people say that. I've lived in both states, and in my opinion, California drivers are far more aggressive. You get lots of street racing type behavior in southern CA. I don't see that nearly as much here. Plus, with narrow coastal roads and tons of traffic at nearly every hour of the day, driving in CA is more stressful. Utah roads are mostly all right angles and broad, and besides rush hour on I-15, things stay pretty clear.
@@UncleFetzThe freeway shoulders are narrower in Utah compared to California. Do not change your tires on the shoulders. In Utah, the most people don’t slow down for stopped car on the shoulders. Call roadside assistance
I moved to Utah in 2019 after living in California my whole life. It was quite annoying when I asked for any advice on just random things online and when they found out I was from California, would say stuff like, "Go back to California!" The funny thing is people are only ever this bold on the internet because no one has ever actually said this to my face. I left California because as I got older, I really started hating living there; I got out because I wanted to get away from California, and I absolutely love everything here. I'll tell you one sure thing: I'll never move back to California.
Aswers to your questions during the intro; 1. I want to move to Utah because it seems to be one of the best places for family 2. Im moving away from California probably because everyone else accept im conservative. 3. Im most excited for experiencing a totally different life than in san diego. 4. I guess im most anxious about how fast i can get a job because ive heard the LDS church kind of runs things out there.
I moved to Utah from CA in 2015 and luv it. The snow is bad but the ppl are awesome, quiet, peaceful; until they start driving. Rude drivers. But there’s no crime (Provo) and the gas and electricity are cheap. The schools are behind CA academically our kids could’ve skipped a grade. They also let you get your associates degree in HS for a small cost. I luv it here. And after awhile nobody knows you’re from CA anyways.
@@scottdsteele thanks and very accurate video for those trying to come here. I esp like the part where you inform outsiders you gotta start your career all over from the bottom. I left a 20 year solid career behind where my wife never worked. She started at Sam’s Club to help. I almost cried it sucked so bad. Now we both work to make ends meet but things have worked out. We have decent and stable careers after 9 years but yeah it was tough. We’re in The Church, go to BYU events and finally have a peaceful neighborhood. What you may have mentioned is the Holy War. Until you live here you have no idea what it’s really about!
Well you are in real estate so you support everyone moving to Utah and needing a home. 😉 Talk about Tremonton the city that has the fastest growth in Utah and all the problems it comes with for the people that already live there. There are not enough schools, the prices too high for the locals, infrastructure can’t hold up and much more. There is always good and bad, winners and losers.
Yes I'm in real estate and the people are coming here whether I share content or not... and yes I love to help those coming here and it's so fun to meet and build relationships with them and see how positive and happy they are to experience what this amazing place offers. Tremonton has grown alot yes, but it's a very small community that's just too far from most jobs and too far for most people who who move. Despite the fact that it's grown from 5,700 people to 12,500 people over the last 24 years... it's just too far for most to find a good paying job.
@@scottdsteele There must be a reason Tremonton attracts that many people and is growing much faster. Lots of people moving there work at Northrop Grumman or have a long daily commute. The better air quality and larger lots for less money are also attractive for many. They need to keep building though it’s getting enough. Enough apartments in many places in Utah.
Utah is highly polluted. Worse air quality in USA in winter. Conservative politicians rile and church has a lot of power. Utah is family oriented and Californiams hate the family unit.
I get what you're saying and no...Californians do not hate the family unit. You might make the argument that those who lead the state of a California do, but I've met countless Californians and even married one and they come here because of the love of their family unit.
Utah is great for getting experience in IT and then getting enough experience to move back or go elsewhere. My whole family lives here but I can’t really stand living here for much longer. Just getting enough experience and getting my side business off the ground then move back California.
California is awesome if you don't mind how expensive it can be to get the same quality of life you get somewhere else. If liberal and intrusive government is your thing and you don't mind paying a lot of taxes for little in return California is for you.
Californians, please leave your politics in California or stay there to experience the consequences of your ppolitics as California falls apart. Please don't turn Utah into California.
Utah is great for getting experience in IT since the competition for jobs in California is pretty cut throat. I work in Utah county and I find it a little difficult to connect with some of my BYU coworkers, but other than that living in Utah is better than Nevada I guess. I do plan on moving back to California or New York, I find it easier to socialize with people in those states compared to Utah in regards to my circumstance. The salaries for jobs in Utah is pretty bad in comparison to the cost of living, but that has motivated me to seek multiple sources of income such as starting a side business. My whole family lives in Utah now so I will always be connected to Utah but I feel for someone that is career minded, Utah is a good first stepping stone if you are having a hard time finding a job elsewhere. Long story short I do not plan to stay in Utah. It’s a great place to invest in real estate but actually staying here full time for the rest of my life, I think I would be depressed. I can see how people who grew up here don’t mind staying here but if you are used to living in other places that have more to offer, it would be hard to stay in Utah unless you had no choice financially.
I feel you on the connecting with people out here. I’m in Ogden and moved here from Texas and the social scene out here is extremely weird to say the least. People here love to form clicks and actively work to keep others separate from there group. It’s like being in High School again. Back home, if you are even slightly gregarious and come off as solid, Texans will introduce you to there friends, there mom, dad, memaw, cousins, baby momma, aunt uncle, and the damn neighbors across the street and before you know it you have like 20 friends lol. I miss that about Texas and the south in general.
Hello, You know, after the last recession up to about 2014 parts of San Diego and Los Angeles were dirt cheap. I bought my three bedroom home on 3/4 of an acre 14 miles from the San Diego Airport for $119,000 . Nobody wanted it. Real Estate didn't start selling again until about 2015. . Most of these people deserve to get priced out.
People just make these videos hoping Californians stay out. It’s not working. We here we moving to Utah it’s cheaper less taxes. Better Job opportunities and college programs. Especially in southern Utah. it’s better can’t fool us 😂
I'm in no way trying to keep people out, In fact I get accused of doing the exact opposite. I help people make the move to Utah each and every day and my wife and her family have also moved here from California as well. I'm just helping people gain perspective from all angles
And your opinion is yours and this is what makes this country amazing. Also, the data isn't my opinion... it's fact. There are more people here who aren't than are and the numbers don't lie
