  • Salt Lake City is one of the most beautiful cities in the country. Having grown up in Idaho, I have made many trip to Salt Lake City over the years. I think it's an under-rated city so I've been looking forward to making this video. I had made a video about Salt Lake City over two years ago, but I didn't think I had done a good enough job at representing the city with that video. Thanks for watching: Salt Lake City Overview | An informative introduction to Salt Lake City, Utah

    One comment is that for Salt Lake really the CSA is much, much better for population metrics than the Metro (MSA) alone. There are cities ten minutes away that are not part of the Metro but very much part of the overall population like Bountiful. So the CSA really gives the scope and explains how we can support multiple sports teams, etc.

      Yes, and I’m that case the population is more around 2.4 million, putting it in the top 25 for the country.

    I moved to SLC from Oregon in the 8th grade. I graduated from Highland High and did my undergrad at the U. Been gone since 2001, now living in Boise area, but the city definitely played a big role as to who I am. Thanks for presenting it! Well done.👍🏻

    Cool fact about the conference center. The acoustic design is such that the dampening effect each seat is the same whether filled or empty. Reverb would be a massive issue otherwise

    I wish you would have mentioned the practical reasons the area was settled. Being in a mountain valley, there are many rivers and creeks supplying the area with water from snow melt. This is compounded by the existence of a large fresh water lake to the south of the city with a large river flowing from that lake, through salt lake valley, and into the great salt lake. The area is arid, but it really is an oasis in the desert.

    The Mormons had been considering and planning to relocate to the GSL Valley for years before they actually did- the legend makes it sound like they just wandered west and ended up there by accident.
    Also it would be accurate to say they fled due to conflict, but saying it was “religious persecution” is inaccurate and kinda propaganda. It wasn’t their personal religious beliefs that stirred up their neighbors everywhere they went.

    • @pre-q8s
      @pre-q8s Před 13 dny +6

      The second half of this comment is wild. Reducing what Mormons went through to a “conflict” rather than blatant religious persecution is dishonest

    • @fjfjfurjrnfncnnxxn
      @fjfjfurjrnfncnnxxn Před 13 dny

      @@pre-q8s what’s wild is thinking that just practicing a different religion is so offensive that hordes of people are driven to rage, and not just some people- this happened everywhere they went. And they were far from the weirdest religion out there, so why didn’t any of the other similar new religions experience similar?
      The reality is that they originally fled New York to escape prosecution from fraudulent activity. Then from there they would move en masse to small towns, declare it their promised land, declare that the town (which again was already settled) would now be run according to mormon rules with Joseph Smith as the king, they would vote as a bloc to put themselves in power, would run “apostate” business owners out of business, pooling their money to outbid locals on land, then there was the sexual shenanigans with Joseph Smith (including teenage girls) which later turned into “polygamy,” and more. This turned into violence and riots, and it happened in multiple places.
      Were they persecuted at this time? You could make that argument. But the rage didn’t come from their religion or beliefs.

      Living in Utah under Moroni Law has made Utah a terrible state to live in and SLC a very Unfriendly city to visit! The Mormons are the friendliest Unfriendly people you will ever meet! The Mormons make SLC a terrible city to visit when nothing happens on Sundays and they dictate when mass transit run. The Mormons have ruined Utah.

      I hope not, sire your LGBT whatever you think blue is doing is cool. But most LGBT people here in utah don't like slc. We don't like the gas stations having glass everywhere. Or the homeless in the streets everywhere. Blue don't solve issues they make them and tell you to vote to fix them. Please stop voting blue no matter who and vote blue when it makes sense and vote red when it makes sense. Cox is a blue pretending to be red but you can't see that because it's just a game to you
