The issue for me isn't him being Mormon or if he wanted to build a little community at a religious site. For me, the issue is that he bought up a community to impose his vision and his will on everyone there. No one there asked for this. It'd be upsetting if anyone of any background tried this same thing. He's not working with the community. He's trying to demolish it to build his own. That's incredibly selfish and arrogant. He tries to justify it saying it will be sustainable and a model for the future. But he is in no way working with the community. I think his ideas are admirable but he's going about it all the wrong way. He should have looked for a community wanting change and worked with them to make it better. It should be a collaborative process with compromise, not imperialistic.
