Partly out of desperation, Utah’s quest for new ways to ease its housing crunch is venturing into delicate political territory.
, upping the ask to $150 million.
The 2023 legislative session starts Jan. 17, and it remains unclear if the commission will share its final proposals publicly before then. Millcreek Mayor Jeff Silvestrini, speaking in September 2022 about a new winter shelter in his city, says municipalities are stepping up on Utah's housing crisis.
Residents worry about traffic, congestion, safety and loss of open space, he said. “The community feels more crowded, less peace and quiet, overcrowded schools.” City leaders are responding, according to the president of the Utah League of Cities and Towns, Millcreek Mayor Jeff Silvestrini. Silvestrini said the league would propose a way to streamline the approval process for new subdivisions “and limit that public input to one meeting.”
Cameron Diehl, the league’s executive director, noted that only a few Utah cities have not complied with state requirements on moderate housing plans. And cities are approving new construction at a record-setting pace, Diehl said, with the state’s 40 fastest-growing communities having allowed more than 93,000 new residential units that now await building permits.
