Your response: My community is the Lower Avenues. We are mostly single family homes, mostly slightly older families with college age or adult kids who've moved, but mixed with younger families who rent and some college students in apartment buildings.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What are the cultural bonds in your community?
  - If your community has a shared history, what is it?

Examples of cultural or historical interests: Religious groups, ethnic groups, languages, age groups, immigration status, historic or arts districts, etc.

Your response: My community, and the populace of Salt Lake City in general, is grossly underrepresented in the Utah State Legislature. Decades of cynical gerrymandering by the legislature has divided the more liberal votes up so carefully that despite being barely over half the state, republicans (which in Utah means Mormons) make up 75% of our state level elected officials. This gives them a supermajority which allows them to even override extremely popular public propositions such as medical marijuana and medicaid expansion with no concern about repercussions.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - Where are residents employed?
  - If there are environmental concerns in your community, what are they?

Examples of economic or environmental interests: Tourism industry, agricultural workers, mining town, manufacturing center, polluted natural resource, unemployment problem, etc.

Your response: We value access to public transit and bicycle paths, since parking is at a premium here and we want to reduce our impact. More access to transit especially for the west side of the city and other historically underserved neighborhoods is a high priority to us. We want to be better connected to our west side neighbors.

Use these questions to think more about how you would describe your community...
  - What should politicians and/or map drawers know about your community?
  - What are the needs of your community?
  - Is there anything else you want to tell us about your community?

Examples of needs or concerns: Keep community in the same district or separate into multiple districts, shared policy concerns, need for a social service, relationship to other nearby communities, issues with current district lines

Your response: No one I know feels represented by our state legislature. We know it's been gerrymandered to within an inch of its life. Our federal Senatorial elections are also a total joke. the fact that Mike Lee is supposed to represent Salt Lake city is utterly disgusting and he's a national embarrassment.
