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.

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: ⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/thehousingadvocatepodcast/] ⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/SUHBAworks4U/] ⁠⁠www.suhba.com⁠⁠ [https://suhba.com/podcast/] The Housing Advocate is brought to you by the Southern Utah Home Builders Association.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
