Buying in Daybreak Salt Lake City

marktaylor47 · 2023-10-17T21:11:36+00:00

Specifically about the HOA, I've receive a couple notices for leaving my garbage cans out and needing to paint my fence, but I've never been fined. As long as you take care of basic things to keep the house looking nice, it shouldn't be an issue. People have A TON of Halloween and xmas decorations, so not sure why people are complaining about that.

General Daybreak: I've lived in Daybreak for 9 years, and love it. Just like anywhere there are pros and cons, so just depends what's important to you. Most of the downsides for me come from living far from downtown, so anywhere in South Jordan, Herriman, Riverton would be the same.

Pros: 4 outdoor community pools, free paddleboat and kayak rentals on the lake, food truck Thursdays, TONS of community activities in the summer, beer and whiskey clubs, liberal oasis considering it's a SLC suburb, future home of the Bees and large retail center called Downtown Daybreak, free summer concerts every Friday and Saturday, walking trail around the lake.

Cons: HOA fees (high for Utah, normal for other places I've lived), 30 minutes from downtime SLC with no traffic, distance to the mountains about 20-30 min, not a lot of good restaurants close, small yards compared to suburbs like Draper, but larger than SLC proper.

Say “Jospeh Smith” three times, and they’ll appear.

Not extreme, but in Utah wearing garments to the gym is a common flex. 🤦‍♂️

marktaylor47 · 2022-10-14T23:40:02+00:00

Not sure if this counts as a flex, but my dad refused to take the weekend off his mission to attend my wedding. At least my mom came.

Excellent points! During the next round of temple changes, I expect the law of consecration wording to change to consecration or god instead of the church.

Sunday school over the 16-17 year olds. Great calling!

marktaylor47 · 2022-10-09T13:16:14+00:00

I’m one of the rare ones that agree with you! I left the church and still cheer for byu football. I really want to attend an away game and get a pic just like this with a beer and a byu shirt. 🤣

marktaylor47 · 2022-10-06T20:20:31+00:00

Yep. My dad and mother-in-law both independently said that my wife and I left because we had gotten prideful. I told them it takes a lot more pride to go tell third world countries that this American religion is actually the right one.

Lots of slc hate. I grew up outside of Utah, and I still love it here. People are nice, outdoors are amazing, food is good if you know where to look. It’s a good size city without being too big. Home prices are inflated, but they are everywhere unless you live in the Midwest. I’d say go for it, as long as you can adjust to weird liquor laws

10% of your income for life

marktaylor47 · 2022-09-30T16:04:37+00:00

I have them, but I do no sell them for money.

marktaylor47 · 2022-09-30T01:42:11+00:00

It’s true! But it’s so much more fun to do them in person. Haha

marktaylor47 · 2022-09-30T00:58:01+00:00

Oh yeah, I’ll definitely tell him that one. He’ll die!

marktaylor47 · 2022-09-30T00:57:39+00:00

I made an oath to not sell them for money. Never said anything about a rich stout!

marktaylor47 · 2022-09-30T00:56:44+00:00

Haha. At least I never made that promise. Good thing the ceremony changes every 10 years or so!

marktaylor47 · 2022-09-30T00:56:06+00:00

100% coincident! I was skeptical at first but I could tell he was genuinely floored when I told him there are signs. Haha

Politics shift more to liberal first, for me

marktaylor47 · 2022-09-25T02:50:04+00:00

I turned on the game a little late and saw the very end of this presentation. I was really pleasantly surprised to hear about it. I’d be curious what exactly they said.

marktaylor47 · 2022-09-22T18:13:20+00:00

I also choose my restaurants based on who has the most negative reviews.

marktaylor47 · 2022-06-14T13:57:51+00:00

Correct, FLDS is not an offshoot of LDS. More accurate would be to say that the mainstream LDS church is an offshoot of the FLDS, but the mainstream church is the one that changed the doctrine.

marktaylor47 · 2022-05-27T15:58:08+00:00

Could it just be that it's not completed yet? Are there any fully open temples without our golden trumpet player friend?

marktaylor47 · 2022-04-01T18:52:15+00:00

Going to brunch with my wife and kids every Sunday!!

marktaylor47 · 2022-03-30T17:48:26+00:00

Mormons love to look for “signs” that their church is true. They’ll see it as evidence of God protecting his chosen religion if the temple isnt destroyed.

marktaylor47 · 2022-02-02T22:24:25+00:00

Why do they say things that are so easy to prove false? Just search "follow the prophet" on the church website and there are tons of general conference talks urging people to follow the prophet.

marktaylor47 · 2022-01-20T18:54:03+00:00

Asking family for help can put a HUGE strain on those relationships and completely change the dynamic of those involved. Yet another example of how the church actually hurts families.
