Anyone who truely knows SLC and has been there lately knows otherwise, so no....your version of the truth is fabricated by simple minded cliches. The dynamics of SLC are changing and they have been for quite some time. SLC has grown a tremendously in recent decades shedding it's stereotypes, and even has a large gay community, a sizable hispanic community, many new transplants over the years, world class skiing (Olympic worthy), some impressive downtown developments, an expansive light rail network, big freeways, and the Sundance Film Festival. So no, you're not telling it like it is, because what you think is the truth of SLC is a mear fraction of it and based on worn out cliches. Sure the morman community is big there and that goes with out saying, but that's only part of the story and it has a much bigger picture than you seem to recognize. Every city has flaws and attributes, you fail to recognize ABQ's flaws (which are many), and pretty much fail to recognize anywhere else's attributes based on your postings on say anywhere versus Albuquerque. That's a pretty narrow mind set. Get out more with an open mind and perhaps you might understand

Every city has flaws and attributes, you fail to recognize ABQ's flaws (which are many), and pretty much fail to recognize anywhere else's attributes based on your postings on say anywhere versus Albuquerque. That's a pretty narrow mind set. Get out more with an open mind and perhaps you might understand

Yawn...........I'm going to get straight to the point about SLC , it's a city for white mormans end of discussion

and since ABQ is utopia and everywhere else sucks according to your logic, it's a very simple minded uninformed discussion at that. And what's with multiple copy pasted paragraphs? How bizzare.

I don't want to diss ABQ (Because I like that city alot), but my 1 visit to SLC was way more entertaining then my multiple visits to ABQ. SLC is more then a lack of diversity and a religious area.

Albuquerque is a paradise compared to SLC , you people are in denial , SLC is a white morman infestation with nothing interesting or exciting going for it.

Albuquerque tops SLC in everything, what exactly does SLC offer? Utah Jazz? a salt lake? What exactly makes it unique over albuquerque?

Lets not forget the cities population is significantly smaller than Albuquerques. Albuquerque is diverse,culturual,unique, and offers everybody something

SLC you have to be a specific kind of person to live there, and that's the truth, people who say otherwise is in denial, and not seeing things realistically.

Okay lets see...things SLC has that ABQ doesn't...
-Best mountain views in the lower 48 (Imo)
-A better transit system (light rail and a better airport)
-A larger downtown
-A large city feel (that ABQ lacks)
-A way more connected region (wasatch front)
-Better shopping
-Lower crime rate (i believe)

What does ABQ have thats so amazing? Don't get me wrong, I love that city and my sister lives there, so I go frequently. I like the biology park area, the mountains, the downtown is decent, & the food is great for a city its size, but SLC is about a tier ahead.

-Better transit system? How so?
-You call that a downtown?
-SLC 190k population Vs 550k (ABQ)is a larger city feel?
-Better Shopping? How so?
-Albuquerque has lower crime rate actually, do the research.

Everything that you said is essentially "better" is nothing but a fabricated lie with no sources to back it up.

Albuquerque is unique because

-Distinct Cuisine / green chili
-Far more diverse and cultural - Native American/White/Hispanic
-Worlds Largest Tramway
-Casinos
-World largest Balloon Fiesta
-Sandia Mountains (far more impressive imo)
-old town/nob hill/historic route 66
-more diverse religion wise
-better architecture
-cleaner air (SLC has smog)
-better nightlife / restaurant scene
-A city with a lot more pride and character

I can go on, and on , and on, all day long, SLC is a city for a certain type of person = white morman

I'm sure it does have qualities beyond that, but for the most part, that's what dominates the city and makes it what it is....No thanks.
