im 14 and ive lived in vancouver washington ( like 15 mins from portland),issaquah washington ( 10 mins from seattle), in boise, and also in salt lake city. My favorite place to VISIT has to be Seattle.. but my favorite city that ive lived in is SLC, seattle and portland are just to big for me. salt lake city is still small enough that people are still nice and theres not terrible traffic and its still a big city plus its fun.. same with boise. seattle and portland are just to big for me.
Once you have lived in Utah all your life and move elsewhere, and then come back Utah looks pretty dried up and ugly... Just what I experienced moving back from Oregon to here.
Utah buses do not run late like Portlands buses making it not so convenient, Utah buses has less stops making a stop to where you need to be a mile walk, downtown stops are ok making it convenient for downtown only the stops to the outer cities suck badly!! And most buses end at 10:45 or 7:45 making it inconvenient for those who work late.
Salt Lake is not some major city like they make it out to be! I am from PHX ,az and lemme tell you. SLC is a town compared to PHX. Its a village compared to NYC.
@troll2282 Yeah pretty sad, To bad we can't be as great as Phoenix, witht there great Mass transit, 15% unemployment and a quarter of homes in forclosure, but you at least have 4 times as many people, god what a fucking douchbag.
@troll2282 Yeah, And Phoenix is a town compared to L.A. and A village compared to New york city, So what is the Fucking point? And exactly where does it say that Salt lake is some Major city? The fact is that salt lake and Utah are growing. Maybe you should stick with the videos of Phoenix, Since you think that's what the world revolves around.
I love Salt Lake City, I've lived all over and Salt Lake definitely has the very best City planning I have ever seen by far. Got to hand it to the people that made this possible. I love living here!
@mkmny2010 Hands down Portland, Oregon beats out SLC any day of the week with public transit, urban planning, walkable, bike-able, livability. It's nice to see SLC trying to change though. The car-dependent culture of SLC is one of the main reasons I don't like to visit.
@pavilionking06 but Portland Oregon has a lot of crime coming from black people and here in Salt Lake, we dont have that many blacks, therefore not too much crime at all
@acdekl1 I lived in Portland and Salt Lake... Most only 10% of crime in Portland are from blacks, the other 90% is from whites, sadly to correct you. And I am white btw.
You are effin correct buddy!! Portland rules ALL public transit!!! I loved Portlands buses and max.
Here are some facts for those that want to disagree...
Portland buses runs till 2:30am sometimes 3:00 am, Portlands bus stops are every block we arent talking utah blocks but Portlands blocks which is shorter, Portland bus stops are very convenient and stops at the doors where u need to go, Portland max stops every 10 mins and the stops are close together making it convenient.
@JD198276 Gotta love it. The MAX and streetcar lines are expanding on the east side and over the Willamette as we type. The new Milwaukie line will be a nice addition.
@pavilionking06 isnt the milwaukie line already running the green line? I left after they completed it and after it opened to the public, wish it was there way before because I worked by the clackamas town mall and dreaded the bus 72 lol. because of all the people on it. They have been working on the Willamette one for a few years now i want to go back to Oregon just to ride that one lol. Been waiting for it since they marked the roads for it.
@JD198276 They did just recently in the last few months open the MAX Green line that connects the downtown core and surrounding area to Clackamas Town center. The most current work is taking the streetcar from the Pearl District West side across to the East-side and down to OMSI where it will eventually cross the Willamette on a new mass-trans-ped-only bridge being constructed @ South waterfront. They are also planning a new MAX line that will run from PSU across that same bridge to Milwaukie.
@pavilionking06 that would b awesome I cant wait 4 it! I bet the streetcar will be a great help to everyone who lives across the Willamette that bus is always pack during 3 pm- 7 pm I hope they work on extending the green line to Oregon city then cut the buses that would be even more awesome lol. Because that trip to Oregon City from Clackamas town center and downtown is a long ride, I liked it sometimes, but other times when I just wanted 2 get home, it sucked lol. I hope Utah can do more too!
@pavilionking06 Don't know what your talking about, the UTA Trax and public tranportation system in SLC, was named the best public transit in the country. plus the one time I was in portland, I didn't see any difference of the walkable, bike-able, livability there then in SLC, probably the only difference is that in Portland you can't walk around at night, in SLC we can still do that.
The comments about SLC having poor public transit are absurd. I have lived for years in several big cities, including Las Vegas, Salt Lake, and Seattle. When I arrived in Seattle, having heard all of the hype about its great public transit, I was dumbstruck to see that it couldn't hold a candle to SLC. As further evidence, SLC was voted best small city public transit system in the country several times over. I know its trendy to bag on SLC, but at least get your facts straight.
@bcroz76 20 or so years ago I used to take busses around SL a lot, and it was bad. I had one commute that was nearly 2 hours (murray to magna). It has vastly improved over the years, though I have found that it took a very long time for people to get the idea that public transport here sucked out of their heads. It really is great at this point, and is still growing fast.
The alternate travel in slc is getting much, much better, and you may want to look into the trax again, there are miles of new lines going in and also light rail connecting to the airport, with commuter rail connecting to north Utah complete and all the way down to Provo almost complete.
SLC is one giant car-dependent unsustainable polluted suburbia.. building a couple tall buildings doesn't make a city great... city planning and livability does, two things SLC lacks 100%.
Vancouver has a really good transit system

Cons of Utah transit
Utah buses do not run late like Portlands buses making it not so convenient, Utah buses has less stops making a stop to where you need to be a mile walk, downtown stops are ok making it convenient for downtown only the stops to the outer cities suck badly!!
