Candidates for City Council in Cottonwood Heights respond to a Salt Lake Tribune survey ahead of the 2023 vote.
| Aug. 18, 2023, 8:30 a.m. Cottonwood Heights City Council member Scott Bracken will compete in the Sept. 5 primary.If elected, what would you do to provide more affordable housing options to your residents? Would you support higher-density housing?
I was at the Council of Governments meeting years ago and made the motion to have all cities in Salt Lake County contribute a portion of their budgets to help with costs/issues involving those that find themselves unhoused. That practice is still underway, and we contribute each year. We have submitted plans for properties, etc., to be used to help address the problem, but at this time other cities’ proposals have worked better overall.
If elected, what would you do to provide more affordable housing options to your residents? Would you support higher-density housing? While Cottonwood Heights doesn’t experience the challenges associated with large populations of unhoused people, every community has individuals or families who are one paycheck away from losing their home. There are parents who are skipping meals so there will be food for their children. There are those struggling to pay their utilities, medical expenses or rent, even as the economy grows stronger.
Let’s face the starkest reality for all of us: Utah has been discovered as a great place to live and visit. This, along with natural population growth, has resulted in an increased demand for housing. Parents like me want their adult children to afford to live nearby, so affordable housing is a high priority. We must think carefully about the trade-offs of growth, especially in our city, which has limited available vacant land and space for expansion.
