We have parks and libraries that are fairly easy to access on foot or via public transportation. More children have been moving into and being born in our community, and our schools are reaching capacity (some probably need to be rebuilt or retrofitted for earthquake safety). Our parks are extremely well utilized by adults and children (but homeless individuals and camps can make the parks feel less safe).
Our community is fairly diverse, for Utah. Quite a few refugees have been moved into our community (which is wonderful), and they need additional support for language acquisition to help with getting jobs, affordable housing, access to public transportation, etc. School districts seem to have been working hard to help with the children coming into the system who need support learning a new language while learning about their new country. Our community offers multiple festivals, particularly in the summer and fall, dedicated to celebrating the diverse ethnic and artistic cultures in our population.
Our community suffers from extremely poor air quality. Being near the airport, our air pollution problems are evident to visitors/tourists flying in from around the world. We are also suffering a huge increase in the numbers of homeless individuals and families; their issues are diverse and not fully researched or understood. Housing is getting to be too expensive, which complicates the homelessness issues.
This is an urban community. We need a representative who is focused on the needs of urban communities (affordable housing, clean air, access to more public transportation, more/safer school buildings and teachers). It doesn't make sense to divide our community up and spread it to other districts that are more rural and have very different issues (farming, mining, etc.)
