Although if you love the mountains, the country, beautiful scenery and are a skier, I can see the attraction to SLC and Utah in general ...

You got the first one...which has strong implications on the second...

Beers are all 3.2%...so no joy there either.

Crime pretty much actually continued to go down here on Long Island, in 07 (the 08 data isn't out yet) crime reached 43 year lows in Nassau County, a crime rate which was already far lower than the national average.

Your right...no other state has great schools like LI. Every doctor, lawyer, engineer, scientist, is from LI.
