Salt Lake City just voted to allow a pizza joint to apply for a liquor license next to a park under a new law that took effect in May.
This is a first in SLC and possibly a first for the state, and it's a step toward making SLC slightly more family-friendly. #utpol

SLC's housing prices are DOWN 2.3% since peaking in 2022.

Prices are up 1.5% from a year ago. #utpol
