Housing Jurisdiction

Original Plank

Proposed Changes

Local municipalities, and not federal, state, or county, should have jurisdiction over planning and zoning, and the market–kept fair and open–should dictate pricing. Government driven high density mandates undermine consumer preferences, oversimplify complicated market variables, restrict individual and municipal freedom, and perpetuate housing issues. (Utah State Constitution: Article I, Sections 1 & 22)

Proposed Final Version

Local municipalities, and not federal, state, or county, should have jurisdiction over planning and zoning, and the market–kept fair and open–should dictate pricing. Government driven high density mandates undermine consumer preferences, oversimplify complicated market variables, restrict individual and municipal freedom, and perpetuate housing issues.
