Utah Chapter of the Congress for New Urbanism will host a discussion among leading conservative thinkers on the ideological and regulatory obstacles and opportunities associated with achieving greater housing choices – affordability, type and mix – in a red state.
Recent reports indicate a shortage of 43,000 affordable housing units in Utah. Are Utah’s predominantly conservative values contributing to the shortage or are they the foundation for a solution?
