Show Notes
Ogden City, Utah, is revolutionizing its development code to address soaring housing costs and increase accessibility for families. A key change allows up to ten unrelated individuals to reside in a single house, provided it meets safety standards. This includes children, but only if the residence passes safety inspections. The city is also permitting accessory dwelling units, such as backyard cottages, for the first time. Young locals like Poe Wagner, who dreams of starting a family but cant afford a home, welcome these changes. With less than three percent of land available for new construction, officials hope these adjustments will provide flexible housing options without traditional large developments. The updated code is now under review by the planning commission and city council, aiming to alleviate the housing crisis for all.
