Affordable Housing

Park City's median housing price now sits at $2M. Only 14% of Park City's workers can afford to live there. 8,800 workers commute into Park City from outside Summit County! Boy, does that city council have their hands full?!!

Cottonwood Heights' housing dynamics are different, but are we preparing for our future now? 

Unless our city takes seriously the need to zone and then go on to stand behind affordable housing, we'll lose the "human beauty" of an inclusive city that is enriched by residents of every walk of life, and the stability and strength they bring to our community. Not mention less wear on our roads, less traffic, less noise, cleaner air that comes from people working close to where they live.

That means including a focus on low income housing, as well as affordable housing based on 80% of median home cost. 

What about those housing needs of seniors on fixed incomes, Millennials, Generations Y, Z, and Alpha, our children and grand-children?

Housing for people who work in Cottonwood Heights shops, services and restaurants matters.
