Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Netflix's $83 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery would mean more corporate consolidation.
Netflix, by far the #1 streamer, would take over HBO Max, the #3 streaming service.
This giant merger could violate antitrust law and hurt consumers.

Utah is projected to have 2.3 million households by 2065, almost doubling today's number (1.2 million). That means we need to build at least 1.1 million new homes. Clearly, the vast majority of those new homes need to be in multi-family buildings, especially given land and water constraints
