We are not LDS yet respect the religion and appreciate what positive affects it has on a community. Homes have gotten too expensive here but haven't they everywhere. At least here there is some justification. The quality of life is amazing compared to our native CA. People are friendly, respectful and seem to have a positive attitude which is refreshing to say the
