Brady Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Well I've lived in Socal, Phoenix, Tucson, Albuquerque. I've never had issues in any of those citys. With in a week of moving to SLC I saw more drugs then I've seen in my whole life. Pills, cocaine, weed. Everywhere I went people were doing lines and popping pills. I've never seen that elsewhere. Also I've never lived anywhere else where I've had stranges and couples come up to me and ask me to have sex with them or do a 3 some. That is just strange. I've had 2 guys ask me if I would have sex with their wives so they could watch. I've had 3 other couples as me to be in a 3 some with them. I'm not down for 2 poles and a hole. When I was single out here dating, almost every single girl I would go out with would try to jump me on the first date. I've had girls show up at my place to go out, walk in and start undressing asking to screw. Maybe I just have a bunch of wierd random experiences. It isn't like I'm going out looking for this stuff. Where did you live in Albuquerque? I wouldn't wipe my ass with that shitty town. No place I've ever hated more than Albuquerque. How anyone could find that town better than SLC in ANY category is beyond my imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueWhiteBoy Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Any new recommendations, or do the tips that pertain to SLC, pertain to Pleasant Grove? What are some good areas to look into? Wheee, time frame of 4-9 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Murray is great for the price... Very central. Pleasant Grove is decent, but it's not very close to downtown SLC. What area will you be working? Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 I found out that the office is actually in Pleasant Grove, it appears they chose that location so that they can get a labor pool of SLC and Provo Murray (pricewise) does seem really cool. Out of curiosity, where does SLC's more liberal influence end and where does it start getting more conservative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 SLC's liberal influence ends at about the Utah State Border! It just depends where you are. There are pockets all over the Wasatch Front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Hyde Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 It varies so much in Utah it's hard to say but Sugarhouse would be much more liberal where as provo/orem and such would be much more conservative. Downtown is pretty neutral except the crowd attracted by the salt lake temple (very conservative obviously) Murray is a wide mix. If that helps at all. Some people may have different opinions but really the only areas that are significantly more one than the other are sugarhouse and provo/orem.

Brady Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 There are still other areas besides what you see on the map. For example, Layton is fairly liberal as is Ogden. Layton is, surprisingly so (or so I believe), due to the Air Force base there (just brings in different groups from outside Utah). Not really sure why Ogden seems a little more liberal. You probably REALLY don't want to live up there though if your work is going to be down in Pleasant Grove! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Yeah, that's part of the problem, and why I was re-inquiring about locations. I'll need something close to Pleasant Grove, but would prefer something a bit more liberal. I'm the worst Mormon ever Euclid, that's an awesome drawing, thank you.

Euclid Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I think as long as you stay north of "the point of the mountain" (where my southern blue line is) you will be fine. So a place in the Sandy/Draper area is closer to Pleasant Grove, but still in the Salt Lake Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Nice. Now I just wait and see what office they're sending me to (Henderson vs Pleasant Grove). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 You guys have been awesome so far, lately I've been using CL to look for apartments but there doesn't seem to be too much posted there. Can anyone recommend some good websites for looking for apartments in Utah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnwlf13 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 no one uses cl around here, it's all ksl.com. They are the local news station and their classified section is huge. The link is on the upper-right on the homepagehttp://ksl.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueWhiteBoy Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 what's your price range, as far as rent goes? I was hoping to find a decent 2 bedroom (or 1 bedroom with loft) for 600-650. Probably rather optimistic, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithk831 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I think i'll chime in, as I currently live in Utah County... I live in Provo and work in Orem. The Provo/Orem area is the largest part of Utah County. I don't like PG because there's a sewage plant there and it always stinks. Nicer, growing areas are Lehi, Saratoga Springs/Eagle Mountain. Personally, I like Orem. Two malls close by, lots of stores, and fun things to do. Also keep in mind that if you live in SL Valley, the commute is gonna suck after a while...especially in the winter. I-15 is going through a major construction project over the next few years, and I bet gas prices are gonna continue to go up. We currently pay $490/mo plus utilities, putting us at around $600-ish for our 2-bedroom apartment in an OK part of town. If you want cheap, go with Provo/Orem. Edit- I'm originally from West Palm Beach, Florida and have lived in Provo for 4 1/2 years. Spent two years in Nevada as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 I guess this may help a bit, but I'm a 27 year old male (single male if the long distance thing doesn't work out, unfortunately) hoping to stick to an area where I can still hit up a bar or club somewhat regularly (and various other social places). Also, should friends decide to come to visit I'd also like to be able to have an occasional party. I remember hearing that various apartment communities don't allow alcohol at all, but I was curious what areas they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Never heard of that. Pretty much anywhere in the valley is ~15 minutes from downtown where all the bars/clubs pretty much are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I've never heard of places not allowing booze. The only place I can think of is maybe in Orem/Provo in BYU approved student housing, but you don't have to worry about that. Try this website out. It's been a long time since I rented, but this site seems to have some good info on places to rent. When I did rent I lived in a complex called Royal Farms. It was super close to the freeway and a nice place all around. http://saltlakecity.apartments.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unreal Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I normally have a room for rent in my house. Just depends when the current roommates are leaving. I'm pretty sure the girl downstairs is leaving end of July. That is always an option and what I would do if I moved somewhere. Find a nice house and rent a room for 1/2 of what an apartment would cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueWhiteBoy Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 Unreal, normally I would, but right now I have a gf that would be staying a weekend at a time as well as any family/friends that want to visit (which I'm hoping will be a fair amount). It is a good idea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
