Rocky Anderson: 'The proposed changes bode poorly for the future of our city. The damage to our neighborhoods would be difficult, if not impossible, to unwind.'
The neighborhood north of Liberty Park, October 20, 2020. A proposal aimed at tucking more homes into some Salt Lake City neighborhoods has stirred intense debate.Everyone who values the character of Salt Lake City’s great, diverse neighborhoods — on both the west and east sides — should find troubling the propensity of our mayor, her city planner and some council members to lay the groundwork for the severe deterioration of our neighborhoods.
Imagine how these problems will be exacerbated if accessory dwelling units become much more common, especially if they are out of scale and if there is no owner-occupied requirement. If that happens, people will look back for generations and point to the decision of the council as a major turning point, undermining the quality of life for many of our city’s residents.
To oppose more ADUs or the elimination of the owner-occupied requirement for ADUs does not mean that one views “affordable housing” as a threat to neighborhood character. There should be affordable housing in every neighborhood of the city — but it doesn’t have to take the form of rental units jammed into every lot, many unaffordable and owned by institutional investors.
