Rednecks in N.O. speak French fluently. I really doubting that thugs in East NY or Brownsville can even speak 1 language fluently. English.

Thats an embarrassment.

actually your wrong because a lot of thugs in b ville and eny come from immigrant parents.

so next time use the ghettos of your carolinas to make a point of being bi-lingual.

Sacramento is the most boring big city I have ever step foot in. Their nightlife is pathetic for a city that has over 400,000 thousand people.

But I work with for a client with offices in Salt Lake City, and whenever my coworkers visit on business trips the general opinion seems to be "Well it's slightly better than it used to be," which I guess is sort of faint praise, but cool bars and nightlife is kind of difficult with the weird Utah liquor laws. There's a lot of redevelopment downtown, but I haven't been there recently so I don't know how much better it is. I'd consider living in SLC only for the fact that I love skiing and snowboarding and it's the best situated city for that in the US--so yes, the best fun is outside of Salt Lake City itself--and Park City probably has more stuff going on than some of the neighborhoods in SLC.
From what I've heard SLC has changed rapidly in the past 5 years or so. It's less than 50% LDS, so that's still alot of folks who want to party it up while their Mormon neighbours are home playing Monopoly or something .

I can only imagine this trend will continue, and in 10 years SLC may not even seem all that Mormon.

The difference between the LDS population and the LDS population has nothing to do with playing Monopoly. The LDS party, too. They just remember the party the next morning.

You forget that Salt Lake City proper has a population of less than 200,000. It's not growing either. It's had this population for years and years. Yes, less than 50% of Salt Lake City is Mormon, but if you look at the entire Salt Lake City metropolitan area, you have more like 70% LDS. That's changing somewhat, but not a great deal.

Yes, the Mormons "party" without alcohol, drugs, pre-marital sex, smoking, or even coffee or tea.

What exactly is considered "partying" to Mormons anyways?

I lived in Sacramento 20 years ago and couldn't agree more. I used to drive out to the Bay Area to find something interesting to do.
