My current home is nice, but nothing special. I paid less than two times my annual salary for it. But if you put it up on that website, there are probably only about 5 homes that look nicer. Materialism might very well be a problem in the Church, but if the best that the enemies of the Church can do is link to pics of normal looking condos with "gorgeious views of the Salt Lake Valley", I see no evidence that the General Authorities have fallen prey to it.

I agree with this. I suspect that the site authors have likely never visited the east bench of the Salt Lake Valley. While it is overall a nice place, the views looking west over the Great Salt Lake are anything but gorgeous.
