I like my single-family home and neighborhood, why change anything?

A:

It’s a testament to Salt Lake City’s quality of life that so many residents love their neighborhoods. Everyone deserves a chance to live in a neighborhood they love, whether they are lower-income, middle-income or higher-income—there should be room for everyone to find an option that works. But right now, approximately 77% of Salt Lake City's residentially zoned land allows only large single-family homes, limiting who can afford to live in those neighborhoods. Expanding Housing Options aims to add modest home types in neighborhoods with good amenities, jobs, and access to opportunities so more residents have a fair shot at finding a home they can afford  in a neighborhood they love.
