📉 1. Population Decline Means Less Demand

• Birth rates are at historic lows across the U.S. even in Utah!.
• The baby boomer generation is aging out of the housing market, freeing up inventory.
• With declining household formation, especially among young adults, the pressure to build more housing is exaggerated.

🧮 Less people = less housing needed. The panic around “housing shortages” is based on outdated growth models.

🏢 2. Massive Apartment Towers Disrupt Neighborhoods

• High-rise developments clash with existing community aesthetics, livability, and cohesion.
• Increased density leads to overburdened infrastructure, from roads to sewage systems.
• Local businesses and long-time residents no benefit from these buildings, only suffer the consequences!

💸 3. They Don’t Actually Lower Housing Costs

• These towers are built for investors, not renters or buyers.
• The purpose of these is only to make a profit for international investment firms, not lower the cost of anything!
• Meanwhile, our agricultural heritage and beauty is Permanently demolished to clear the way for these abominations.

❗ “Build more and prices will drop” is a myth! Housing inventory is at a 20 year high with a looming population collapse and the huge number of these has not reduced prices in the area at all!

🏘️ 4. Neighborhood Stability Takes a Hit

• The rise of transient, high-density living weakens:
  • Civic engagement
  • School stability
  • Crime prevention
  • Community cohesion
• Traditional neighborhood property values fluctuate, some skyrocket, others plummet depending on proximity to the tower.

⛰️ 5. Utah doesn’t have unlimited space

• Most people don’t realize something like 80% of Utah is either controlled by the BLM or owned by foreign investors from places like China!
• We only have so much room to live and support high quality living and recreational spaces.
• Building endless condo or apartment buildings is Bull dozing the future for the benefit of who exactly?
• These developments have been allowed based on corruption, misinformation and ignorant, short sided thinking.
• Again, who are the people filling these? Utah has below replacement birth rates, the Unites States has below replacement birth rates, we have the largest generation in human history passing on, so who do the “investors” plan on filling these units with?

🧩 Conclusion

We don’t need more apartment towers. With shrinking populations, an aging demographic, and ample existing housing stock, the push for more massive developments is misguided. Instead, we should focus on:

• Preserving our city’s character and heritage
• Incentivizing family housing in existing neighborhoods
• Protecting community integrity and affordability
• Combat the push to destroy our future for the benefit of foreigners and outsiders to the area.

🏠 Housing policy should be about curating the future we want for our posterity, not endless growth.
