A recent survey in Utah reveals that housing affordability has become the top concern among voters, surpassing previous issues. Utah Governor Cox has given local communities a year to address the lack of affordable starter homes. The Governor describes the affordable housing crisis as an 'existential crisis' comparable to COVID. Additionally, a significant portion of respondents believe Utah is not progressing in the right direction, marking a notable decline in optimism over the past two decades.
