I feel like there are so many shows out right now about Mormon cults in Utah - under the banner of Heaven, keep sweet and obey, etc. Not to mention the prop 8 doc a few years ago along with big love and sister wives.

This is definitely not a media thing - https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-06-14/does-l-a-have-an-addiction-to-cults-and-cultists-sure-seems-like-it

Why do you think there haven’t been as many notable ones out of Miami or NYC? Between Scientology, the Mansons and Synanon seems like there’s some kind of special sauce.

Ok I have a question. What are some of the reasons why so many cults have popped up in Los Angeles?
