#4 Housing Survey: We Want to Hear from YOU! This survey is the final survey in this series. Thank you for your input! Name * First Name Last Name Phone Number * Zip Code * Some people believe that too much demand for housing (i.e., too many people wanting to rent or buy homes in Utah) is a main cause of the housing crisis. We have a couple questions for you about this: Of the options provided below, which makes up the largest group creating pressure on housing in Utah? Utah children (children growing up here and staying) Former Utah residents (Utahns moving back) Californian’s moving here People from other Republican states (Idaho, Texas, Florida, etc.) Some experts say that some places with high demand have limited the number of homes that could be built through restrictive zoning, limiting the number of homes that can be built. As a result, they have become very unaffordable. But other places with high demand, like Dallas and Atlanta, haven’t limited new homes as much and have stayed more affordable. Do you think the experts are right? How could we apply these lessons to Utah? Homebuilders and Developers: Homebuilders and developers will, of course, need to play a role in getting us out of our housing shortage. We’d like to understand how you feel about homebuilders and developers. How would you describe your first reaction when you think about homebuilders or developers? Very negative Somewhat negative Neutral / no reaction Somewhat positive Very positive Please explain your answer. Why do you think you have the reaction that you do? Putting it all together: Okay, now that we have spent several days talking and thinking about housing from many different angles, we want to see how you think about all these pieces together. How concerned are you about the overall housing situation here in the state of Utah? (required) Not at all A little concerned Moderately concerned Very concerned Extremely concerned How important is it to you that we find a way to reduce home prices in Utah?
