25: Land Use, Legislation & Utah's Housing Challenges (w/ Representative Neil Walter)

Utah is growing fast—and lawmakers like Representative Neil Walter play a crucial role in shaping the landscape. In this episode, Neil discusses his recent legislative work, including a new law sparked by one municipality's attempt to block a homeowner from participating in the St. George Area Parade of Homes. From protecting private property owners’ rights, to strengthening land use and housing policy, Neil and Stacy discuss how the collaboration of all stake holders is vital to resolving Utah's housing challenges (including Home Builders Associations, the League of Cities and Towns, and lawmakers alike.) Tune in for a grounded, candid conversation about what’s changing, what needs work, and where Utah goes next. Connect with us on social media:⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠www.suhba.com⁠⁠The Housing Advocate is brought to you by the Southern Utah Home Builders Association.
