They should build it around that big lake Southwest of Delta.

Utah is 6th on the list of highest median home prices by state. Organic growth isn't working because there is nothing

Water shortages are overblown. They don't account for improvements in usage. It's a remarkable failure in their analysis

Not a bad idea. Though I don’t know why a new university or regional airport

Not nearly enough new housing at Utah City. I'm thinking of a city that could create homes for more than a million.

Eagle Mountain helps now... but 20 years from now, where will the dirt be to build the next Eagle Mountain? I think SLC
