Dense public spaces in Salt Lake City are managed environments — private property with owner consent is usually simpler than an unpermitted park gathering. Climate band Semi-arid / High Altitude (mountain) still shapes outdoor timing. Inside Utah metros, HOAs, multifamily housing, and municipal park systems usually shape aftercare more than statewide statutes. In smaller Utah towns, clinic referral plus hub transfer and county vs. city rules are the practical constraints.
