The Mormon Church (LDS) is buying up another chunk of downtown Salt Lake City (SLC).
First the church apparently was intent on establishing a buffer zone for its historical temple, where free speech would be prohibited. Now it apparently wants to offer city residents a trade off, through better shopping opportunities.
After all, who needs to waste time on free speech when you can have fun shopping?
The LDS investment arm called Property Reserve Inc. cut a deal to purchase two shopping plazas, which will potentially be combined into one super mall by linking them up with a skywalk, reports the Salt Lake City Tribune.
This is what the Mormon Church calls its “master plan” to determine development of downtown SLC.
“It’s great. I think it’s wonderful that the church is going to take over,” said one exited resident.
However, the LDS “take over” of Utah was long ago an accomplished “master plan.”
