As a former member, I still choose to live here over anywhere else (my employer has given us the option - and I can't imagine a place I'd rather live) I'll agree that the church's focus on hard work, clean living, family atmosphere, abstinence from drugs and alcohol provide quite a net-positive for industrious people. I feel completely energized by the tech scene here, but I do get concerned that if we keep trying to rush toward being SF, we'll end up with million dollar 3 bedroom homes and folks living on the streets.
