My Geneva comment points out that there are fewer jobs in UT county that are not construction related than there were several years ago. That is all, and refers to the stop building houses coments above.
Funny that you discern between out of staters and who else. This is the United States of America. I think a lot of our expansion is due to us having large famalies who want to stay in the area.
The farms in the southern 1/2 of utah recieve a huge amount of water for their haying operations, I doubt that they supply very much beef, leather or anything else that really matters to the public good of the rest of Utahs inhabitants. Most of our beef comes from the midwest, Hawaii and Argentina. Not from within UT. I do not know of any large dairy operations in Southern UT. Most seem to be in the northern part of the state. The part that gets some natural water.
Thing is that we will have to chose soon between the good of the many (Santiquin to Willard) or the good of the few (rual Ag intrests). I hope we all kill our lawns first but that will only move back when we have to make the decision. We are in a pickle no doubt. The only way out is smaller famalies, smaller lawns, conservation and reducing the water supplied for our small southern Ag industry.
