I had too much to say about this for one forum post, so I wrote a blog entry about it:

Daybreak Dream a Nightmare?

Must be a new definition of the word nightmare that I'm unfamiliar with...

Stopped by the blog, really wasn't something you couldn't have fit here on the forum.

After living in Sugarhouse for the last six years, all of these complaints seem superfluous.

•Are you paying $1080 a month for 823 square feet?

•Is your house so old that the drains don’t drain, the power breakers pop if you run the microwave and the toaster at the same time or the colony of mice living in your basement are impossible to exterminate?

•Have you had panhandlers knock on your door asking for money?

•Have you dealt with boarded up windows and waist-high weeds at the two vacant houses on your street?

•Was your supposedly securely locked bicycle been stolen off your front porch in the middle of the night?

•Has a stranger been apprehended and arrested by the police in your backyard?

Daybreak is HEAVEN compared to some of the issues in other neighborhoods, even prestigious ones like Sugarhouse. If the Daybreak Dream is a NIGHTMARE, I think you need to learn the correct definition of nightmare and move downtown for a while. You’ll come back to South Jordan with a whole new perspective.


We made a decision NOT to live in Sugarhouse for many of the reasons you listed. Before you make such a broad stroke statement about what is and is not HEAVEN, you should investigate what is happening that would push a resident to take such drastic action. Look beyond your block before making a judgement.

To answer your questions
NO, I would never make a decision to pay that kind of money for so little. But I did pay more for my Daybreak house.

Yes, we have had scammers show up at our Daybreak door step asking for money.

Yes, we have abandon homes with overgrown waist high weeds.

Yes, neighbors have had numerous bicycles stolen from their porches and property.

Yes, we have had the police in our alley apprehending suspects.

And all that has happened in Daybreak.
