Yep. For some godforsaken reason, they keep coming. And actually, BOR, there are quite a few hippies here. I live in a "hippie" neighborhood.
15 years ago Utah was white. It was extremely rare to see anyone of any color but white (except for some odd reason, Tongans) outside of Salt Lake. We have a lot of immigrants now, mostly Hispanic. Utah is slowly, slowly becoming less homogenized. I still don't know why they want to live here though. I sure as hell don't want to.
As for housing, forget finding anything in Salt Lake City itself for less than 200,000 that isn't a complete dump. The house next to my apartment is going for 350,000....it's 70 years old and has two bedrooms. Ten years ago my parents were looking at a similar house for around 100.000. I really don't know if that is an average increase or not, but it seems a little high to me. Hubby and I have ruled out living in the city when we start house hunting. The suburbs still have houses that are affordable.
