Mormons have a pretty tightly knit mutual aid network. Any time someone needed to move, or build a fence, or do anything like that, you could reliably count on like half the neighborhood to turn out to help. This generosity doesn’t extend to non-Mormons. It definitely affected my politics. I think if Mormons genuinely practiced what they preached without all the Prosperity Doctrine bullshit, they’d be communists.

Also Trax and Frontrunner are ok if you live within a 5-10 minute walk from a station, otherwise you have to drive to a parking lot to wait for a train, which sucks. They don’t run very frequently outside of business hours though. I lived for a long time without a car in Salt Lake though, so it’s serviceable.
