I like the idea of these higher density areas like daybreak but I feel that it doesn't address home affordability as well as I have hoped. Even if you buy a smaller condo in in daybreak, your payment after the HOA of almost $2,500 now days. You still have to be making over $100,000 a year to afford that. A two income house hold could probably manage that easily but if you have kids, that's a lot harder. Utah has been such a kid friendly state but things are so expensive that the fertility rate in Utah has dropped over 30% in the last 20 years. I really like living here but sometimes the cost makes me think twice about moving. I hope the state can figure something out to build more affordable and not just high density and higher prices.
Criminal to leave out Iron County. Iron County been the fastest growing county (in terms of percentage growth) for the past 3 years according to the UPC (Utah Population Committee). Lots of cool stuff happening down there too. SUU Expansions, Brian Head Expansions, etc.
Hi Scott, great video and thank you for providing these information. Just have a question that I saw your another video talking about some fast growing area in SLC and some of them are located near the Bingham Canyon Mine. I'd like to know how will the mine impact the nearby neighborhood and how much does it affect the air quality if you live closer to the mine? Thanks.
Absolutely! This is actually where I live. I explain it thoroughly in this video starting @ 9:15. ua-cam.com/video/tEFU0Uf2m7U/v-deo.htmlsi=xfNVrNw-wLhTnOG1
Hi Scott, thanks for your informative video! I have three concerns that I would be interested in your opinion on in the greater Salt Lake area: pollution, over building, and water. I would love to hear your thoughts on these. Thanks!
You bet! 1) Air Quality is a top concern here, especially in the winter. The air quality is drastically improved since the 90's (despite our growth) and has been cut in half. This is the result of much better technology, cleaner burning automobiles, and shutting down smelters, a coal burning power plant, a massive steel mill, as well as improvement in emissions from buildings. We still need to continue to improve and we cannot change what mother nature does to us when the air inverts in the winter time, but progress matters 2) Over Building: some people believe that we've already "over built" and we still have plenty of areas where the growth will continue. It's all perspective. For those who have lived here their entire lives, some don't want to see the growth and they don't want to see our city and state change and I understand that. For those moving here, many of them see this place as much smaller and much more peaceful than from where they've come. It's just perspective. 3) Water: Yes, it's always a top concern. We were in a prolonged drought up until a couple of years ago but followed that with a record breaking year and then followed that up with another fantastic year... our water supply is back and in a phenomenal position leading into this winter. The exceptions are the Great Salt Lake and Lake Powell. We need more years of great water to fill those up. With respect to water for our increasing population...yes, we are good. The population only uses less than 4% of our total water usage annually and every acre of farmland (mostly Alfalfa and livestock) requires far less water as a developed subdivision than what was needed before. I'm not saying that it's good to lose farmland at all though... it's just the data.
@@scottdsteelethanks for your well thought out answer. It just seems so irresponsible to keep building where water is not plentiful. The builders and RE agents and everyone involved will make millions but the rest of us make no money and will potentially suffer. That’s my concern anyway.
I hear you. It's not my study, but there are plenty of resources and studies that will enlighten one's understanding about our water supply and what is really used here. Less than 4% of our water is used for the population, and the vast majority of our water is used for agricultural use and the studies show that for every acre of farmland that's developed, there's a massive net savings in water usage, as sad as that is to see happen. Many people live in fear with respect to water because of the headlines, the narrative, and the marketing to get us to conserve. The Great Salt Lake has suffered immensely due to poor water management and the low that it experienced a couple of years ago has sparked some big and long lasting changes that should restore that lake to where it needs to be. Our reservoir levels right now as we just passed the start of another water year in the first of Oct also show how good we are. None of this even touches on the immense amount of water beneath us in ground water. Water is a hot topic and we need to manage it better as our population expands.
Your channel is gonna grow so much!!! I really worry about trump getting taken out and the economy falling rapidly. But I have hope no matter what happens because of my faith. Also my job doing hvac is very valuable no matter what happens to the market.
@@scottdsteele being raised LDS in UT, Ive been to temples and seen all the Pagan symbolism. I know about the freemasons and JS was indeed a member. Again, the Bible is very clear on the matter.
LDS community completely ignorant to the fact that these projects makes it more unaffordable to live in the SLC. But they live in their own bubble where they don’t think reality exists.
@@scottdsteele Bro what do you now understand that all these mormon start ups are sketch as hell, and the more people moving here are part of the reason why housing is becoming unaffordable. But hey the LDS church can keep racking in $$ and you won't care!

You're right, it doesn't help. We have a problem here with not building enough starter homes too.
The Frontrunner 2x project is a real game changer. It's great to see!
Agreed!
UTah is actually the next big place to be ❤
I would agree

Thanks for the info and insight!
Thanks Joseph!
Great thoughts on housing density and planned communities.
Any data on the appreciation you mentioned west of Lehi/Draper?
I do need to share more market data with visuals on screen... I'm working on this for sure
RIP Utah, not even the worse air in the world at times will keep people away....
Nope, they still come

Great video, my fiance and i will be finding a permanent home hopefully in South Jordan / Daybreak area in June!
Nice! I love living there. Let's connect and get you prepared
But the interest rates rise, and the home prices will come down. Also, the tax burden in Utah is way too high. But it is a great state.
Thank you for sharing!

Thanks, I appreciate your faith and hope for the future, it is needed!
Washington County has record number of listings.
They are certainly on the rise
this is for the LDS who want truth. Galatians 1. Nuff said, God bless.
I get it. Different people believe different things
@@scottdsteele The bible is very clear on the matter. either believe the Bible, or don't.
And members of the faith (The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) that you're calling out, do believe in and study the Bible
@@scottdsteele being raised LDS in UT, Ive been to temples and seen all the Pagan symbolism. I know about the freemasons and JS was indeed a member. Again, the Bible is very clear on the matter.
Cortney, I'm not here to, nor have I created a channel to debate or explore religious differences and I appreciate your opinions.
Hardly anything he says is true. He lives in some alternate reality.
Tell me more! Give me an example

Why does this become about religion?
Utah is no more...Welcome to the crowd..
I get it
Please stay out of Cache Valley. It's the worst part of Utah. Stay away
Why is that?
WEF and LDS church walking hand in hand to create their technocratic slave state. Cute.
Proof?
Terrible take, sorry
😂😂 you have been to salt lake before have you.
The lds Corporation and mormons will develop every inch of land in Utah. They love to show their assets
@@scottdsteele Bro what do you now understand that all these mormon start ups are sketch as hell, and the more people moving here are part of the reason why housing is becoming unaffordable. But hey the LDS church can keep racking in $$ and you won't care!
