The fallout from the rising housing prices has led to all of the usual problems: housing insecurity for many and increased need for more rentals. In fact, the prices for rentals along the Wasatch Front have exploded in the past two years — as much as they had over the prior ten. This week on the show, we dive into why we have seen such a dramatic increase in home and rental prices and we’ll talk about the origins of our housing woes and what this means for Utahns now — and going forward.
