Data show Utah’s housing crisis is — wait for it — still bad, especially for millennials. Host Ali Vallarta and executive producer Emily Means dig into the numbers and explore a new tool for renters and what Salt Lake City is doing about Airbnbs. Plus, in honor of the new state flag going up, featuring Utah’s ubiquitous beehive, Ali quizzes Emily on other state symbols.
