We need to get housing affordable for families.

I live in a small tourist town where many of the jobs are low wage hospitality work. But the average home price is nearly $600,000, which is more than the average home price in Salt Lake City and about the same as the average home price in Denver.

There are always help wanted signs all over town and some businesses curtail the hours or days they are open because they can't get enough help, or can't afford the help.

It is very hard to fill jobs such as teacher or police officer because people can't afford to move here on those salaries.
