HOA allowing cats to live on and destroy property.

I recently bought a Condo here in Salt Lake City UT (Willowbrook Condos Murray). And there are stray cats everywhere that I wasn’t aware of before I moved in. They are puking and craping everywhere. Climbing on my Partners and my cars, as well as other people’s cars. I’ve talked to people on the HOA board and have been told they are allowed to live here and that there’s nothing I can do. My problem is I own a Jeep and was looking forward to taking my doors and top off this summer but don’t want to risk the cats destroying my property because I’ve already had a problem with that in the past.. Is there anything I can do about this? If the cats on the property do destroy my property am I liable? What rights do I have as a home owner?

Huge effing rant about EdgeHomes

I really really really want to know how the hell state legislators, housing audits, inspectors and everyone else in the world involved in working in and around Edgehomes for some reason hasn't stopped or reported them. They're literally building houses made of paper. I don't think I know anyone who's happy with their home and how much edge homes cuts corners. Would someone for please the love of God discuss this with me. It's driving me crazy on how they're the only builder that seems to constantly be in the news in Utah and yet they haven't been sued, shut down, fined, and More. I actually talked to one of their contractors, and they said that Edge Homes forces them to use low quality or the lowest of quality materials. Most of the things aren't measured properly or installed properly. I've had to spend almost 40k Even after 17 warranty requests. Please discuss I want to know how the hell a builder gets away with this and what others to avoid. Thanks

No more vaping in Utah

Ok everyone should just go back to smoking cigarettes. That's the message I'm getting from SB 61

Edit: If ecigs are so bad we should throw out diet coke and diet Dr. Pepper. I also have to add the person who created the bill literally looks like an evil witch from a bad 90's movie

2nd edit. I find it interesting that ppl want to not allow vaping are also the same ppl who want to allow recreational weed.

Also, I now where y'all are getting bongs from

Looking for an outlet. A few actually.

Hey yall, I have a confession to make. I am in bad shape, I have a terrible addiction to playing video games. And at 30 years old, I think enough is enough. I need to be out of my house doing other shit. And I've wanted to get back into hobbies I used to dabble in. Writing short stories, drawing, and I also want to get into guitar building as well. I'm doing my research online, but I wanted to ask the community if you know any places or classes that maybe won't charge an arm and a leg. Or hell maybe even a cool group of people who just like to get together and do this stuff. I'm not an expert in any of these fields by any means. But I figured it's worth a shot to ask. Appreciate you reading this. Hope yall are well.

Moving out of state help?

If you dont want a back story, skip to the second paragraph. If you dont want our current situation with Utah housing, skip to the third.

Hello all. Little bit of back story. My wife and I met in 2016, got married in 2021, and had a baby last year. We have both lived in davis county our entire lives. I love the outdoors and she just goes along with me wherever I go. We live with her parents currently with the baby and our 2 yo puppy. We are both Republicans as well so we're mild picky on what state we want to move to. We both come from middle class families. She works as a Medical assistant (basically a nurse) and I work from home and take care of the baby as well.

Since having the baby, our desire to get our own place has grown exponentially. My BIL and his wife bought a 1970's house in ogden last year and have had non stop issues from flooding, to leaky roof, to cracked foundation so we are very nervous to get an older house. With our budget, the only places we can maybe afford are in Cedar city and St. george. We can't really get a townhouse because of the dog, and we would like somewhere with a garage and rv parking because if we don't get one, we have to pay that much extra for storage. All the places to rent right now that meet our criteria (which really is not strict, just pets and a garage and built after the 80's) is way out of our budget. We've both accepted that we will not be able to really afford what we are willing to live in, in Utah. Which is very disappointing but it's still reality.

We are looking to move to Kansas because they have nice and affordable houses. You can get a house that would cost 400k in Utah, for 150k in Kansas. We've never visited the state but obviously will to look at houses and for job interviews. Looking around the Wichita area. Has anyone made this move? Or come to or from Kansas? We're not "farmers" but we like rural areas close to the city.

We're both very nervous to live out of state away from all of our family, but really like the housing market on Kansas (and also Oklahoma). We've looked at aourrounding states, and they're either too liberal (Colorado, California, Oregon) or too hot (Arizona, Nevada, New mexico) and we don't really want to go farther north and get colder. We like the climate of Utah but would rather get hotter than colder. Not trying to be picky but there's certain values that come from public schools that you want your kid to have or not have, and if we're buying a house we want to be happy with it. Any advice is welcome, (unless you're gonna tell me to be a liberal)

TL;DR, Me, my wife, my 12mo baby, and puppy can't afford any houses in Utah. We're looking at moving to Kansas. Any advice or feedback is welcome

Off grid solar advice?

I want to have a good solar system for my off grid property in Iron county. I did some research beforehand, but I was wondering if anybody could give me their experiences with solar in utah, and some advice on what would work best?

My electrical needs aren't that high. I'm a gamer and I use my gaming laptop for that. I don't see myself getting an upgrade any time soon. Other than that, just a washer for my clothes, a small dishwasher, a fridge and freezer, lights, small fans and maybe a little space heater for the winter. Oh, and the pump for my well (which I have a gofundme for because both are expensive as hell. Am I allowed to post the link to that here?)

Plus Size Inclusive Spas

Last chance before never visiting spas in Utah again lol My go-to + two back-ups have proven non-inclusive for the last time & I’m in need of suggestions for spas that may be considered “safe spaces” for a size 3X+ or feminine US size 24+. I just want to feel safe to find some pain-free-ness in my life without being judged for my physicality. Oh, & I’m local to SLC, but traveling won’t be an issue.

Side note: I guess this could fall under Travel Advice flair? Maybe it’ll help others traveling or not lol Don’t judge on that notion alone lol

Weber Canyon incident 5/12

I was going eastbound in 84 through Weber Canyon at about 7:30pm yesterday. 84 westbound was shut down and there was a RV parked in the middle of the road surrounded by law enforcement. A lady was on the side of the road being arrested. Anyone got any details on this to satisfy my curiosity? I haven't been able to find anything.

Saratoga Springs Nightmare

Poor Saratoga Springs, used to be the quiet little bedroom community tucked behind the northwest corner of Utah Lake. I made the mistake of going down to the TSC store on Saturday and just about started bawling over the gridlocked traffic and rampant unchecked development. If I couldn’t have seen the mountains I never would have guessed I was anywhere in Utah. Do they even have a planning department down there or is it just one big free-for-all?

I thought this was just a good picture.

I took the garbage cans out last night and look down my street and just decided to snap this photo. Something about it seems peaceful and I liked it and thought I would share. I really like the color contrast also. Enjoy!

Northern lights tonight?

I'm by the big and little cottonwood canyons. Anyone think there will be one more chance of auroras happening up here?
