Field notes
40 minutes north of Salt Lake City, ~30% cheaper rents, with closer access to Powder Mountain and Snowbasin than from downtown SLC. 25th Street historic district is the walkable nomad core. Utah state tax is a flat 4.55% — same math as SLC. Same valley-inversion winter air-quality issue as SLC, slightly milder. Cheap-mountain-town energy without Park City's prices.
