I find it interesting that you never answered my question below about what "affordable SFH" is. How is "affordable SFH" accomplished, these days? Seems like you just want to find developers that will build expensive houses but sell them for cheap?

POLL: Would you live in Utah if it meant you had to live in an apartment?

Too many variables. Family size & ages of children & apt size/location.

The reason I ask is because this appears to be the future of Utah.

Water is scarce, so they want to cram more people into the same footprint?

I was just thinking the same thing. 😂

People aren't the water problem. It's the landscaping.

You are 100% correct and if we’d stop electing land developers, we could stop it

Utah legislature confuses conflict of interest with expertise.

What happens when you create so much single family housing that you run out of

We have the entire I-15 corridor to keep building. Young people would rather

YbeatsU

Maybe so. Massive sprawls would cause its own issues though

Jay Kay

Yeah, there's real problems with sprawl

Says who?

I would rather live a little farther away to have a good family home than live

Lots of young adults prefer location over a yard to maintain. Developers build

No they don’t. I had one of the largest builders in the State in my office tell

i mean, to get a good ROI, don't you have to, you know, SELL the properties

fattycoug

3/21/23 9:29pm

Sure. And cities don’t have to change zoning to allow multi family housing.

$350K. That is what young people are having to pay for an attached townhome

YbeatsU

3/22/23 8:58am

Is ROI is 4x greater because the demand far exceeds the supply

BYU'01

3/21/23 9:50pm

Or they make more money jamming people in tight spaces.

YbeatsU

3/21/23 9:56pm

Right, a lot more people prefer the price point of multi unit housing like

Too bad there are people like that can stop you.

YbeatsU

3/21/23 10:08pm

So the few land developers in the St legislature don’t reign supreme. It’s NIMBY

BYU'01

3/21/23 10:11pm

It needs to have both concepts.

Build affordable family housing? That's the idea... that's a condo

runnincoug

3/21/23 6:53am

This opinion is terribly misinformed

MyTwoCents

3/21/23 8:01am

Yeah your talking points are literally Development 101. Cities in the State have

YbeatsU

3/21/23 9:22pm

"You just want people to live in high density housing." You're weird

fattycoug

3/22/23 6:40am

You’re fat. SFH’s are unaffordable because small affordable ones aren’t being

YbeatsU

What is "affordable single family housing" these days?

fattycoug

3/21/23 8:22am

Yes, that was our first home when my wife and I got married.

Don't most people live in an apartment at some point in their lives?

Not sure I would live in Utah in a house or an apartment. There are better

Utah needs more apartments.It also needs more single family homes. We should build and build. The more units the better.

What happens when we run out of water? Recycle urine?

John Doe

3/21/23 5:05pm

We'll just build more infrastructure to capture more precipitation and we'll also find better ways to consume less. I

I guess we could always run a pipeline from Lake Tahoe.

Residential water use is less than 10% of the total water use in Utah. People
