Comments about ‘Avoid Park City’

Trust me Brent we dont want you up here! Just suffer thru the SLC inversions.

I agree whole-heartedly with the writer. Park City is nothing more then a outpost of hypocrasy. While their modern castles, palaces, and mansions cut into the wildness and habitat of deer and other wildlife, and have a larger carbon footprint then most SL valley neighborhoods, they stand on their porches and scream at the little people to stop idling to protect the environment? They can afford to say that because they can just go out and buy a new car on a whim when the damage from repeated stops and starts at drive-throughs breaks their old car.

I can't.

My money and that of my friends, family, and anyone else I associate with will stay in the valley and not go to a city that is rapidly going down the socialistic path of government mandates that so many of these liberal transplants to Utah cherish. I cannot vote at the ballot box in Park City, but I will vote with my wallet. I hope those of a like mind vote with me. Then maybe these trust-fund junkies up there will have to pay out or get out.

I'll try to give you a dose of the truth.

Park City was a mining town. The original purpose was to support the mines and people working in the mines. It was the mining company that cut through the forest to create the town. This was a very long time ago.

Why do you dislike clean air?

I would be willing to bet that you don't come up here anyway. Stay down there in your inversion cess pool.

much?

Let's get rid of West Jordan first. Too many people having too many kids out there.

Believe me if Brigham Young would have declared:
"Park City is THE place," Brent would be singing a different tune.
LOL!

It is fun to read the disdain that Parkies have for anyone not of their ilk.

Yep, it was a mining town, first. You forgot to bash on the Olympics, too.

The writer does have a point. Those humongous homes consume a lot more energy than the average ones do, while housing less than the average do in the rest of the state.

Still, I already turn off my ride when at the bank drive-thru or waiting for say, a train. The soup bowl in the valley gets bad enough as it is.

Our writer has a point. The billion-dollar mansions on Old Ranch Road that house one or two obscenely wealthy people sort of make you sick.

The childishness and pettiness of many who call Salt Lake City their home is world-reknowned.
And those poor oppressed souls seem to relish it.
This letter typifies the pettiness.

Really? This is just silly. I'm a Park City resident, I'm not a billionaire, and I enjoy the quality of life I can offer my child here. I'm grateful for the opportunity I have to make money here as a working class single mom. You can avoid Park City, and I'll avoid Salt Lake, it stinks anyway.

Better yet ... avoid SLC and Park City and most of the rest of Utah.

To "Oh Please" when you say "The billion-dollar mansions on Old Ranch Road that house one or two obscenely wealthy people sort of make you sick," those wealthy people just laugh.

After all, it is your Republican Government that has given them huge tax cuts, tax credits for buying their Hummers, eliminated taxes on their stock dividends and generally have protected their wealth.

The rich up there in Park City have done very well in the last 8 years and they are thankful that the little people in Utah do your duty and vote for Republicans, the same ones who will keep them in their mansions while the little people suffer from job losses, benefit cuts at work, and protect the wealth of the rich because they dream of someday becoming rich.

So, those people you express your disdain for are sitting there thanking you for facilitating their wealth maintenence.

As far as turning off the cars while at the drive through I'm sure Obama will take care of that with his new fleet of Obama-cars (since the gov owns the car industry now) by calculating a new tax on how long your car is running during a normal (determined by the gov) work day. Of course everyone will be forced to purchase Obama-cars or have expensive add-on's to their current cars which will eventually phase out all other car maker competition (sounds like National Health Care huh). As absurd as this sounds (and it is) I have the feeling this isn't too far fetched especially in light of what is happening elsewhere in the country under "comrade Obama".

Don't confuse Park City's early history with its recent history.

Many Park City people are extremely dedicated to environmental concerns, but the residents have spread way beyond the city'd original bounderies and have carved into far more land than the original city.

It seems to me that they're concern for the environment is out of guilt for what they are doing to it. We all know that the left is only concerned about what OTHER PEOPLE are doing to the environment.

Both Park City AND Salt Lake City have gotten way too crowded.
Too many people ruin EVERYTHING.

Don't go near Park City.
Too many liberals there.
Stay in Salt Lake

to ETB. Don't stop them in West Jordan. Typical US reproduction is only 1.8 kids. The new wave of illegals is 3.2. And the jihadists is 5.8.

Stay in Salt Lake.
Salt Lake is your friend.
Stay in Salt Lake.
Salt Lake is your friend.

And read that Utah was just recognized as the Happiest State in the United States.
