Why You Can’t Buy Your Downtown Apartment

City Cast Salt Lake

Everywhere you turn in SLC an apartment complex is sprouting from the ground, with “for-rent” banners begging you to sign a lease. But where the heck are all the for-own condos? Dejan Eskic, senior research fellow at the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, joins host Ali Vallarta to break down what barriers are standing in the way of our condominium daydreams and where they fit into our affordable housing crisis.
