We have been in and out of the Utah housing market over the last 20 years. We have left for job opportunities and come back for family and lifestyle. Each time we have come back we have been amazed at how much more difficult it has been to find housing. Now as my children are looking for places to live in the 20s and 30s it is nearly impossible for them. One has been a school teacher and gave up on owning g a home. Another works for a tech company and struggles to see how he will ever get more than a townhome. We love Utah and want to be close to family but housing affordability is making that very difficult for most people. It is frustrating for people who are locked out of home ownership. I hope that we can create an opportunity of hard working people in our community to afford housing.
