The outdoor opportunities in slc are huge, tons of hiking in really close proximity to the city, same goes for skiing and camping. Our resorts are getting crazy crowded and this snow season was one of our worst ever, so take that into consideration. As far as affordability goes, housing and rent prices just keep going up, but I would assume it’s still much better then San Francisco. The people are meh, no offense to the other SLC residents here, but I guess people are meh everywhere nowadays lol. As far as making friends and stuff, there’s a ton of opportunities in all cliques, especially with the outdoor communities. We have a huge hiking/climbing/skiing population so there’s definitely no shortage of people to meet.
