Steve Camp: Utah should see it is not possible to build our way out of unbridled growth.

It isn’t enough to welcome 50,000 more people to Utah last year while our quality of life spirals, our roads clog and a place to live becomes increasingly unaffordable. Now UDOT, admittedly concerned only with transporting more paying clients to a couple of ski resorts, recommends ravaging one of our idyllic canyons with a colossal monstrosity of corporate welfare and an environmental affront to the Creator.
2. The 22 towers needed to suspend the eight-mile-long gondola with their accompanying bases and access roads will not only destroy the views in the canyon and from the valley but will impact Salt Lake City’s watershed, including the canyon bottom riparian zone with its resident wildlife. 4. Perhaps what is most disgusting about this scheme would be the wasted opportunity to do something truly beneficial with such a staggering sum of money.It could build 5,000 to 10,000 tiny homes for the homeless. Or provide meals for the 289,000 Utahns who wonder where their next one is coming from. A $19,000 pay raise for every public school teacher in Utah, or a $2,300 scholarship for every college student.
