Utah is good.
Open Carry OK CCW is shall issue but does not get you NM or NV suppressors are a go. Sammich maker finding is different out here due to the mormon lets get married ASAP mentality. that said, there is still an abundance poontang. 60k is ok, but I dont have a family. my apt is 1 bedroom 1 bath 700/month. |

Sales tax is 6.85% in most of the state (except that food has a lower tax rate). I think income tax is 5%, after deductions.
The 28-35, no children, sammich makers are out there, but it will take a bit of looking. All NFA is good here. You're probably ok on 60-75K. The 3 bed, 2 bath, 3 garage for under $150K might be a bit tricky, but I haven't looked with those criteria. Would you be working in downtown SLC? The farther you live from downtown, the less expensive the housing to compensate for the longer drive time. (ok, only partly true. Draper is expensive. Riverton/Herriman/South Jordan less so). |

I'd be working at the airport, not sure what suburb that is? West Valley City, Rose Park, Magna are the closest. Rose Park and some parts of West Valley are the closest thing you can get to "The Ghetto" in Utah. I've lived in both and am no worse for the wear. Pretty much anywhere you move to in the Salt Lake Valley would be reasonable commute time. House in the $150k range is going to be tough in the Salt Lake Valley but not impossible. If you don't mind a longer commute, 45min-1hour, then Tooele (tuh-will-uh) should be pretty easy to find that price range in and puts you closer to some good BLM shooting areas. |

I'd be working at the airport, not sure what suburb that is? Not the best, to tell you the truth. But, the airport is accessible via both I80 and I215, so anywhere close to a freeway entrance can make the commute tolerable, although rush hour traffic tends to flow North toward the airport in the mornings, and South away from it in the evenings, so if that's your schedule, driving will be congested. There's the train if you're into public transportation, but it's expensive enough that it's not any cheaper than driving - although I don't know how much parking at the airport will run you. |

Or even along Bangerter. Housing prices are coming back up but there are some nicer homes on the far side of West Valley (5600 S) and the west side of West Jordan that are probably still in that price range.

Alaska Airlines? My wife was ANC ops for a few years. I fly for Delta and will be based in SLC starting in the fall. We're looking at moving to area from PDX sometime next year.

take into consideration with Utah
if you are going to be working at the airport anywhere near bangerter highway is good to go, simply jump on bangerter and it will take you straight to the airport my personal rule of thumb follows i usually carry when i leave my home (i am around 12600 s) i will carry if i pass 9000 s i will not be caught dead without a primary and a backup gun if i am going to pass 5400 s |

On the west side of I-15 I wouldn't live any further north than 9000 south in SLC valley. South Jordan and Herriman are OK but a little too crowded for me. 150K is not enough money though.
Tooele out to the West may be cheaper. I haven't looked at home prices out there in over 10 years though. I work at the airport as well, but only do the drive a couple times a week. I'm down in Utah county and it is a 45 minute drive or so. |

Rose Park is where you go if you want your shit stolen, or if you want to accidentally bump into a local glory hole.

There's plenty of 25+ unmarried, non-Mormon women in Utah. I meet more of those than I do married ones. All depends on the circles you run in and what your haunts are. If you stick to clubs, bars, gyms near colleges you'll not have any problems.
