5 Reasons to AVOID Moving to St. George Utah

Weak list of reasons to not move here. Also misinformation! There are plenty of transportation options. No water restrictions. There is plenty of diversity. All of our major events are typically in the spring and fall. Some real issues would be housing affordability.

Live in mesquite, avoid the tax and still be near.

I live here its the best place to live!!❤❤

If you aren't retired or have a career or skill set that saint george needs, don't move to saint george.
When she says culture and family friendly shes referring to Mormonism.

Reminds me of Sedona..

They are making it hotter by geoengineering and making more humidity. I’ve lived here for over 10 years and it is ruined! 😡 the massive move here from blue states have changed the culture for the worse. As soon as my mother passes away I will be selling and leaving!

If southern Utah has a water issue. Quit out-building the available water we have right now. Don’t expect locals to sacrifice their hard work of landscaping just to appease the tax base and revenue more people bring.

Because the traffic is so bad and st George has horrible city architects that can't design a city properly?

As a real estate agent in St George wouldn't you want people moving there. Seems like you'll be losing a lot of commissions

The early pioneers did it and I CANNOT imagine how they lived in such conditions!

are there non-yts over there?

If you do not have a lawn to water, how bad can a water limit be?

I hate humidity. It's in the mid to high 90's usually here in Iowa and with the humidity, it's totally obnoxious.

As a local, I hope you listen closely. She is right. You should not move here. We love what we have created here. We don't need outside influences that will try to change things. So look somewhere else. Visit all you want.

Snowbirds are annoying here, every winter driving around town csusing accidents 😡

If its mostly Trump/Vance folks and God friendly I’m in! It looks beautiful. Sorta like Buckeye AZ where I used ti live

We're thinking of leaving Florida next year to check out Utah. Heard a lot of nice things about St. George . Thanks for the honest video. Took down your information.

St George will run out of water because of all the excessive uncontrolled housing developments. Maybe city and country gawdamohkngumnt bureaucrats need their personal and secret accounts audited

I'm from Utah
Used to be nice to visit st. George, not these days.
Thanks Californians....

I thought this was five negatives? Try peak of summer in a package car. Yes I worked out of an oven.

I’m looking at the temp running around today. 108 and I go “meh”

I only need one reason. It is way too hot! Cedar City would be a much better choice.

Mesquite is better. No sales tax, abundant gambling, and liquor is much cheaper.

There are many reasons to avoid St. George. #1 reason is growth. We are growing so fast that our traffic is horrible, we are unique for our lava rocks they are being removed for resorts no one wanted and our way of life that we have known for 100yrs is being torn away by the newcomers. We were nicknamed DIXIE by the pioneers and the residents of 10 to 15yrs who don't know or don't care are trying to remove that name from our city. We have greedy developers who want this place to be so big that we are literally are dying inside. As a 40+yr resident having lived here since 81 I have seen a lot of change, but this recent change has been the worst. PLEASE THOSE READING THIS BEWARNED WE DON'T WANT ANYMORE TO MOVE IN WE ARE OVERCROWED AND WE HATE NEWCOMERS. STAY AWAY.

Is it a heavily Mormon town? Update: I saw the info in the video. That takes it off my list.

i would never hire this woman. she can’t stop talking. say what you need in less time. gheesh she is exhausting to listen to.

I like it here. Not rich. Not LDS. Have hot rods and Harley’s. Some of the locals can be judgmental but I have zero major problems. Of course I bought my house 24 years ago so it was affordable but it was a great place to raise my sons and I love the climate.

Saint George is for the RICH AND GREEDY ..The Realtors /Builders/Developers are pushing all the old people out of Saint George Why they want more money ...They want more people coming from California they want Saint George to become BIG ...MORE CRIME MORE KILLINGS MORE DRUGS ..as THE RICH look from there RED ROCK HILL TOPS ..Go to Santa Clara or Irvin they wont give you the time of day in there GATED Homes

I moved from St. George, it does have its cons but I think it’s a great state. Small city not too big, they have tons of out doors and great scenery.

I like the hospital. You get your own room.

Iived her for 5 years. St george the best . The people are allsome. No grafedy. No homeless .they have support system for homeless.

How does one ' sell ' the Earth....??

And jodi too

I saw this video, but I still didn't hear those magic words - property taxes, sales taxes and the general cost of living. These are kind of important to most people, especially the ones moving from California.

People saying it’s still radioactive and I’m like I literally live by the bomb that was made for ww2 I think I’ll be fine 😮😂

If you snowbird here and head to the mountains in the summer, it's perfect. 10 years now.

'It's a dry heat" Being outside when its 110+ is still painful. I'll take 80 degrees with 80% humidity any day over literally baking in the sun with no escape.
6 month long summer, growing cost of living that does not match the average compensation levels, a growing number of out of state liberals coming in to ruin the community.

I hear they tax your social security and pension. I may look into moving to Nevada. Maybe Fallon or Mesquite

Worst you tube video I have ever watched.

I live in New Mexico and this place looks so nice !

In 2024 3 bed/2 bath new house is an average of $430K. Grocery stores are an average 13 miles away.The heath is on for 5 months of the year.Medical services are good.The services and other shops are insufficient for the size of the population.Water scarcity is looming on the horizon.Pretty generic western town in a way to Las Vegas.

YUCK….Utah, aka Stepford 🤮

We have the best of both worlds, winter in SG and summer near Spokane, WA. Retired so we go out when others are working. Financially we are better off with Washington as our primary residence....

My grandparents on my mother's side lived in St. George decades ago as did my grandmother on my dad's side. I have not been to St. George for over 20 years. I am traveling down there next month for a visit for about 8 days. I have concerns about my trip down there because I know not only has St. George grown a lot since I was last there but the whole of Washington County has grown a tremendous amount in population. That's sad as I don't think that the desert community down there can sustain that kind of growth for very long especially when it comes to water usage. I hope that the growth levels off and that the community thrives down there.

I lived and worked in Utah for years. Many of my family members still live there. I would never live in St. George. Too hot, too expensive, too touristy, too close to Colorado City and all the weirdness there, no water, and a minor pet peeve are all of the roundabouts they keep building there. Cedar City and Richfield are far better locations...

2 year to go, then we are retiring to St. George to get out of the heat of Mesa. Can't wait to be home. Great video

I agree people are snotty when the lease is up the rich people raise your rent and you become homeless

Just a note... Soon enough the St. George Airport will be ready to accept larger airplanes as they have short term and long term goals on expanding the airport. It's a slow process but definitely in the works.
