Is adding apartment buildings and condos to the Salt Lake Valley a good thing? What about all of those homes in places like South Jordan and Lehi?
A recent Salt Lake Tribune-Hinckley Institute of Politics poll finds that 49 percent of registered voters believe this construction is a “positive for the state.”
Another 27 percent claimed to be neutral on the idea, while 19 percent— or about 1 in 5 — viewed additional housing as a negative.
The results come as Utah is seeing dramatic population growth, with the number of residents now expected to rise from 3 million today to 4 million by 2032 and as high as 5 million by 2050.
