What are the pros and cons of living in Salt Lake City?

Pros -

Beautiful mountains with lots to do, hiking, kayaking, fishing, camping, in the summer.

Snow skiing, snowmobiling, etc in the winter.

Great cultural things to do, symphony, lots of plays, that sort of thing.

Lots of great things to do with family but also fun places to go party to if that's what you want.

Some really great people. (not everyone is nice but that's true no matter where you go)

Housing costs are pretty reasonable compared to other cities.

Unemployment rates are among the lowest in the country I believe.

Crime rates are fairly low.

Lots of great vacation spots withing a reasonable distance.

Park City 1 hr

Wendover Nevada 1 1/2 hrs (casinos)

Moab/Arches Natl Park 4 hrs

Zion Natl Park 4 1/2 hrs

Las Vegas 7 hrs

Denver/Rocky Mtn Natl Park 8 hrs

Jackson Hole Wyoming 5 hrs

Yellowstone Natl Park 7 hrs

Cons -

Some consider the snow a con but it's not that bad. It doesn't snow that much and the temp doesn't usually get to cold.

I don't know of any Pros of living there, but a huge con of living there is that you would really have to live in Salt Lake City. Its in Utah nuf said.

I'm not sure there are any pros! The crime rate there is pretty low, thats about it.
