A lot of people will call this progress in what's happening in Hooper but for me it's a way for land developers to buy up land and then turn it into a quick buck. Give it a chance this and the whole Wasatch Front will be nothing more than homes and pavement. Gone are the times of the farms and rural area's of Utah.
And that's progress. Ya Right.

It's really sad to see farm and pasture land disappearing to make way for cookie cutter communities. I grew up in Midvale, and even there, not twenty years ago, there were plenty of opportunities to go on a walk to see horses, cows, sheep, the whole lot. But every single patch of land has been turned into crowded stone and stucco, practically unaffordable housing. Is it any wonder the cost of farm and animal products is increasing? No one can find (let alone keep) a place to put the cows! Suburbs are great, but we're really losing something valuable when we get rid of the farms and pastures. We're losing a whole way of life.
