    Trib Talk 4/8/14: Wild horse roundup?

    Trib Talk 4-3-14: Sprawl, health and wealth

    Contrary to decades-long assumptions, it's cheaper and healthier to live in cities rather than suburbs. The National Institutes of Health and Smart Growth America studied how sprawl affects health and cost of living and concluded that residents of more densely-populated areas spend less on housing and transportation, have greater economic mobility and live longer. University of Utah planning professor and lead researcher of the study Reid Ewing and David Berrigan of NIH join Jennifer Napier-Pearce to discuss the study and how sprawl adversely affects health and wealth.

    Trib Talk 4/1/14: Should SLC be in the golf business?

    Salt Lake City's golf courses are financially ailing, so green fees should go up and two of the least-used courses - Rose Park and Jordan River Par-3 - should be shuttered. That's according to a consultant's report submitted to Salt Lake City officials last week. Now the city council is asking for public input. Salt Lake City public services director Rick Graham and city council members James Rogers and Kyle LaMalfa join Jennifer Napier-Pearce to discuss the assessment and what it would take to rehab the city's golf courses.
