Utah’s safety net for the poor is so intertwined with the LDS Church that individual bishops often decide who receives assistance. Some deny help unless a person goes to services or gets baptized.
That probably isn’t true where I live (not in Utah). Here, there is an LDS church seemingly on every street corner. It’s crazy. See a church, go 1 mile south and see another, go 1 mile east, see another, etc. It’s really spooky because more often than not, an LDS church is right next to a very wealthy neighborhood.
How can they afford so many buildings and property? Is it a front for money laundering or something?

Yes but because it’s religion it’s legal for them to break the law
Yes.
