Logan, Utah SperlingViews

THE GOOD

- No matter where you live, you have breathtaking views almost 360 degrees.
- Low crime
- Good place to raise a family
- Affordable place to live
- Slower-paced life
- Enough amenities to suffice for a city lover
- Educational options
- A handful of religious options other than LDS
- The LDS make great neighbors: clean, quiet and nice.
- Hiking and outdoor activities galore within minutes

THE BAD
- If your child isn't LDS they commonly get ostracized to some degree in public schools, even starting in 1st grade.
- If you're not LDS, you literally have a neighbor assigned to proselytize you.
- Jobs, though available, pay less than other places.

THE UGLY
- LDS controls politics, the courts, everything. You are truly at their mercy and, as with any area that's dominated with one affiliated group of people, they will side with their people.

This is a BEAUTIFUL place and we would've stayed but the LDS factor was something we couldn't live with any longer. This is such a great place to live because of the Mormons and a place you can't tolerate because of the Mormons (if you're not Mormon). Even some of the Mormons we knew who were transplants from another state had a hard time fitting into the Utah Mormon culture. I wouldn't recommend anyone living here if they're not Mormon - there are so many horror stories we have from personal experience and from the other non-LDS people we knew.
