The main problem is most of the livable land is concentrated in the ‘wasatch front’ mountain range, and the valleys running north south along it. This keeps the available developable land within drivable distance permanently constrained.

We don't have much red tape but we definitely get a lot of nimbyism from the LDS church and its members. They have a stranglehold on our state that most people don't understand. I hope we're able to keep rents from ballooning, but I'm not optimistic.
