Clark Ivory, other members of the Ivory team, and Ivory Innovations, which is a non profit at the University of Utah which focuses on housing affordability in Utah and gathers students together to create housing solutions, travelled to Washington D.C. to talk housing affordability with Mitt Romney. They spent three days there and discussed ways to change affordability in housing not only in Utah but nationally.

"As a homebuilder, Ivory told the Deseret News in a recent interview the coming year is expected to be a challenging one as higher interest rates throw ice water on the market. But for a growing state like Utah, he expects its healthy job economy to help continue to fuel housing demand - and with prices expected to remain high, he said that builders and other industry partners will need to innovate to help bring the cost of housing to more obtainable levels."

"We're going to have to allow greater density. We're going to have to allow new innovations. New plan concepts. New construction techniques. New financing. New public-private partnerships. Hundreds of new ideas need to come forward."
