Don't Move to St George Utah (13 Reasons) 

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about living here.

I live in Santa Clara and I see tons of lizards year round, I think it really depends on where you live because there are literally lizards on every sunny surface here. I also have scorpions and tarantulas in my yard every single year, and a some years even in the winter on warmer days. There are a few snakes around my house too, but they’re not as numerous as lizards. So I would say this applies to downtown St. George, but not the communities further out in the Mojave.

Classic

That is really interesting. I knew there were some quilt shops but I didn't know it was on the 'Mecca' level. =)

@@ComeHomeStGeorge legit to learn theres sutch a lit quilting scene, thats whats up

We haven't had as much of a monsoon season the last few years. Hopefully you will see what I'm talking about this year. Thanks for adding your opinion.

Thanks for the information.

Wow. I'm sorry that has been your experience!

Oh my gosh people are so nice and fun

That just means people are communicating. Don’t flatter yourself hun your not that important. I live in Hurricane right down the road from you and I find everyone I meet engaging and thoughtful. The things this realtor lists just clickbait. Sounds like more reasons to move move here than not.

@@JohnSmith-sh1zg if you thought it was about you, don't flatter yourself. I'm aware of the people I'm referring to and I don't say anything that isn't true. If you know me why not come have a conversation, instead of being a keyboard warrior on a comment 5 months ago "John Smith"

@@alissapatterson1869 are you flipping what I was saying about you lol??? Sounds like you don’t have many of your own words. I hope your fitting in better than when you started. I can meet you at anytime hun. You know how small our communities are we’ve probably been closer at times than you think. Note that I’m not being threatening when I say meet of course.

Welcome to the area! I hope you love it as much as I do.

Hi Carina! Thank you for the great comments! That is a great perspective on the lizards. I will have to remember that 😊. Also, I didn't know about the coyote problem and pets. Maybe I will start a side job hunting coyotes 😊.

@@ComeHomeStGeorge Do it😅. If I could stomach a kill I'd totally do it. It's $50 per coyote and there's so many you don't have a limit to what you're allowed to kill. I live in hurricane and there's loads of them up here not far from where I live. And yeah the summers we have the most lizards are the summers we never see bugs so they're welcome help👌😄

Thank you! Hurricane is beautiful! I have heard since I was a young child that we were going to run out of water and we haven't. I do believe we need to be wise in the use of our water and have been very impressed when listening to the Washington County Water Conservancy District speak about all they are doing to make sure we don't run out. It has given me a lot of confidence that we will be okay. That being said, I don't have a crystal ball, a massive draught could wreak havoc anywhere.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the clarification!

Sounds great. I would love to help you with your move when it is time.

Yes, there are apartments and ice cream parlors. I would love to know more about your book.

...set up in Colorado City....would there be an ice cream parlor...and would there be apartments? (Sorry, I'm an editing nerd and couldn't help myself! Kudos that you have the creative side!)

It was an open invitation.

Here is a website that breaks down the percentages on race and ethnicity. I feel like we are getting more and more diverse as we are growing. datausa.io/profile/geo/st-george-ut-31000US41100

still?

I was in living in Northern Utah, but remember hearing about it. I'm grateful that is so rare!

People in California are also trying to leave diversity. Diversity has ruined CA. CA has the income inequality of a third-world nation.

Just under 2 hours to Vegas

Dr. Grace Paradela is a great doctor at Dixie Primary Care, she might be taking patients still, though there might be a wait to see her.

@@petef.4361 oh my gosh thank you so much! She takes my insurance. Definitely will call! Thanks again!

Healthcare is a huge factor when relocating that’s usually not mentioned in videos. For some specialists the wait can be treacherous!! Or get a referral to the airport 😂

St George has grown and changed quite a bit in the last few years. I'm sure the people talking to you are telling you the truth, but I haven't heard of any mormons shunning businesses since I've lived here. In fact, the only business I've heard of being shunned was run by a mormon who was shunned for being too conservative. Boise, ID is a great place as well. And they also have a large mormon population. Have you visited both places? I just don't want you to not go after your dream because of other people's opinions.

@@ComeHomeStGeorge thanks for the reply. I love St. George, Ive been many many times over my 40 years of life . I have not been to Boise yet. I’m planning to soon. But I’ve always even drawn to St. George. It’s so similar to the Las Vegas weather I’m used to. Las Vegas has a large LDS population as well, I grew up with lots of Mormon friends. I’m planning to take a few more trips this year to St George during the holidays because we still have strict covid protocols in Vegas.

@@YurTypicalVegasMom702 I've been here for 25 years from CA. I felt the same way as you before I moved here. It's BS.

We live in Vegas, too. We have the same planning as you. We give up the idea to move to Idaho because of the weather. St. George is our goal instead.

I've lived here for eight years and there are actually a few other popular churches as well and I feel like we all get along pretty well. If someone had a bad experience with members I can honestly say the only thing I can think of are elderly people who aren't real happy with the growth of this place. We have had few experiences there but only with the old people and they can be hard whether it be church member or not, it doesn't seem to matter. We don't wear masks here either and only the old people threw massive fits and tried to create problems but if ignored they go away😂😅. The politics are quite nice here, we don't believe in following Cali or NY need for massive control👍😊👍 so that's gotta be a plus🥳.

The ones I know of are Gunlock reservoir, Ivins Reservoir, Quail Creek, and Sand Hollow. Sand Hollow is very popular but I have heard occasional reports of swimmers itch there.

You're funny. You should watch the video.

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive and negative thoughts about the area.

That is a sad truth for some and a common problem across the United States.

Being native to this area I am probably not the best person to ask =), but I think most people would be shocked and saddened to hear of anyone not feeling welcomed or worse being threatened or discriminated against. The only griping I hear about is the number of new people moving in. Some of the old timers don't like the traffic and the growth. The area is diversifying as it grows but it still has a ways to go.

I hate spiders, luckily I haven't seen very many. It must be all the lizards.

That is so funny! I wonder how often that happens.

I don't know. I assume they eat insects.

So true, some love it, others hate it.

Haha!

Prices have definitely gone up the last couple years, but so has most of the country.

you aint seen homeless till you been to california lol

Most of us don't spend our time looking under rocks for what California pukes out into the rest of the country.

Thank you for sharing your experiences adjusting to this area. Glad to hear that the roach bait worked. I love seeing the roadrunners and all of the wildlife as well.

We name the lizards too and love seeing them everywhere💕👌. Anything that'll eat spiders and other bugs are friends of mine

@Eren Cox I HIGHLY recommend you try the using the bait then. After 6 years of daily cockroaches, a week after I put out the bait stations I've been almost free of them. I had two come under the front door during a bad storm but it's been months since I've seen one of the buggers. Just be sure to keep the bait away from children and pets.

So weird there are roaches which I associate more with wet humid climates. Are they the flying kind? I used to live in Africa where cockroaches are eaten. they give me the heebie jeebies for sure!

Their aren’t very many scorpions I have lived here for 3 and a half year and not seen one.and lizards just run from you don’t worry if a Lizard gets in ur house don’t worry

In a lot of places stores are closed on sundays

And fiesta fun cost a lot of money and normally has a big line

Las Vegas is 2 hours away

We have lots of lakes for summer

Hi Rigby!

@@ComeHomeStGeorge hi

They're everywhere!

Lol! Luckily the ants don't get that big. We do have a Petsmart here.

I have to remind myself of this all the time. :)

I love St George! I have other videos where I praise it. This video is just to say that it isn't for everyone and to do your research before moving here.

Why do you think that is?

@@415oakland Typically, this is the stage when people attempt to come up with a reason which explains away the apparent difference in a way that is PC. PC means pretending that non-white societies produce as good an outcome and are as civilized as white societies. Being PC means just asserting things without providing evidence. PC means one can essentially know nothing and assert anything, as long as it passes through the PC approval meter. I have traveled extensively, and it is evident that different races have different outcomes. For example, North Asian public spaces and maintained differently from South Asian public spaces. One can be WOKE and try to fight reality and come up with reasons why they are related to something else or deal with the reality despite the apparent discrepancies. For example, one can't find examples of whites trying to immigrate to non-white societies. But non-whites always want to immigrate to white societies. When enough of them immigrate and have kids, the previously white society is reduced in its level to a sort of hybrid or middle point between white and non-white. I was just in St George a few days ago, and the city is very civilized. An opposite city from St George would be Yakima, which you can read about my analysis here. www.brightworkresearch.com/how-mexicans-and-agribusiness-ruined-yakima-washington/ Yakima, WA is no longer an American city. It is a hybrid between America and Mexico. I stayed one night and left the next day immediately. You can see the beginnings of non-white immigration. It is unfortunate and predictable. As soon as St George becomes less white, the non-whites will begin to move off their best behavior and act more like they do when there are more of them. That is, they conform less to white rules. St George is a very polite city. I am often in Phoenix and the West Coast, and I could not believe how polite people were to me. In just a few days, I saw more polite acts than would happen in months on the West Coast. As soon as St George becomes less white, you will see that politeness disappear. The whole point of denigrating white societies by saying there is no difference is for the elite to get more money from workers and say "all societies are the same" when it is obvious they are not. All races cannot produce the same outcomes. Better outcomes only come from adopting white societal rules. This is how Singapore became the best city in Asia through aggressive enforcement of European rules of behavior. However, Singapore still lags behind an entirely white city. By allowing non-whites, white societies are committing a type of suicide. This is what happened in South Africa. As soon as South Africa came under non-white rule, the civilization cratered. Every promise of the ANC has been broken. There is never any "Rainbow Nation," just one group replacing another group. The "Diversity-Rainbow Nation" stage is the intermediate stage before a complete takeover. This is because every group seeks to impose its dominance over society.

Shaun, Holy cow these most racist remarks I have ever read. And are incorrect too. Whites don’t migrate to non white areas.? The native Americans were here long before the colonizers. And 10 states were actually Mexico. Just to name two. So only countries that adopt white ‘ways’ will survive and thrive. Well, I guess St George is going to hell and a hand basket because I just moved into the area and I’m Mexican and I’m bringing my black child! And please delve into why the white parks are better maintained then the non white parks. It’s called money. Geez I’m done

@@415oakland Another question. Why are you moving to a white city when you could be moving to a Mexican city? Doesn't that prove that white cities are better than Mexican city?

RU-vid just deleted two of my comments. Tricia Yeo can make as many false claims as she wants, but RU-vid will censor that provide contradictory information.

Hi Luis. I'm not a rich person and I wasn't putting anyone down. I really want our neighborhoods to last. I love this area. But it is not up to me alone. It takes a community working together. One person can make a difference and a group of people working together is what it is all about.

There are always opinions wherever you go. We were told not to move here because of the heat. But we love it. Also, Utah's population (especially southern Utah) is growing quickly and diversifying.

Haha! St. George isn't for everyone. So, don't move here if these things are issues for you. But I still love St. George!

Your whole statement is just one big assumption looking for a way to virtue signal. You are sad....

You should watch the video too =)

@@ComeHomeStGeorge I did watch the video and in addition to that I grew up there. I lived in Green Valley and went to School at Sunset Elementary. Later I went to Woodward or the 6th grade center then to Snow Canyon middle School and Dixie High after that. I'm 42 now. It was a shit town back then with nothing much to do. Sunny 93.5 was my station. Live in Iowa now. Unless you are Mormon {which my family was but I was not) Do not move to St. George Utah. They will not accept you unless you are wealthy and make large donations to the cult I mean church or become a member and pay you monthly tithing.

Do you have a recipe you can share?

@@ComeHomeStGeorge deep fried then covered in a honey chocolate sauce...ma ma mia!

So true! They are actually really great to have around when it comes to cockroaches.

There is definitely a lot of job openings all over. I'm sure you could find something. If you are on Facebook search for some of our local groups. I see a lot of people asking questions about jobs. You can also try job websites like Indeed. I wish you luck!

You are so lie n evil
