As for kids and schools, Jeppson said even though Utah gets more out of its education dollar than other states, more money needed to expand is school facilities. Bush said class sizes need to be reduced, adding teachers are now dealing with kids who have a lot of problems to deal with, such as drugs, gangs and violence. Parents need to take a more active role in their schools, and such programs deserve funding, Bush added. Overall Bush, who has raised his family and spent his career in Davis County, said he feels he represents the majority of residents in District 14. But if that is the case, Jeppson said, that does not explain the support he received at the countys Republican convention in April. Jeppson said he feels he can be an aggressive representative for District 14. The pace of the engine determines the speed of the train, Jeppson said. Bushs answer to that was, Whats the sense of running at top speed when you dont know where youre going? Both candidates will appear on the ballot for the election on Musi- cian.

I i t t 1 i Condo boom impacts rentals Q Housing advocates say affordable housing getting harder to find 18 Associated Pres : SALT LAKE CITY - Developers turning longtime apartment tfiiildings into condominiums they arc providing an alternate to both escalating rents and borne prices. Z Housing advocates, however, ijre alarmed that a condominium tjoom is making alTordable rental bousing increasingly rare in the tidt Lake Valley. Z Conventional wisdom holds tfiat home ownership is always Ijettcr. I'm not sure if thats true, not if it is at the expense of renters, Salt Lake City Councilwoman Dccda Seed said. ; At the current rate, 10 apartment buildings in the city will condominiums this jear. ar-tJ- ic low-iBco- be-ii- J Salt Lake's condominium forge started, and peaked, in J979 when 1,380 apartments were converted. Since then, hundreds of apartments have been 6imcd into condominiums. Of 75.000 total housing units s; m the city, 6.000 are now more than half of those fince were apartments. Converted Condominiums sell for as low as 555,000. condo-fiitnium- Prudential Prestige Realtor Kevin Jensen sees condominiums as a critical step in the housing cycle: Renters buy condominiums and vacate their apartments for other tenants. Then, after building equity, the condominium owners move into a home, leaving the condominium for a new buyer. With low interest rates and home prices leveling o(T just out of reach of first-tim- e buyers, condominiums fill the gap between h apartments and $1,000 mortgage payments, Jensen said. $600-a-mont- In some cases, buying a condominium is easier and cheaper than buying a house or renting. Some lenders require only 3 percent of the condominium price as a down payment And some sellers are willing to pay their buyers closing costs. This kind of housing fits the need for a lot of people who didn't even think they could afford to get into a house, said. Jensen While converted condominiums provide an affordable option to renters, conversion also means tenants who cannot afford to buy their units arc forced to look for other abodes. Theyre taking older, presumably affordable housing and turncondominiing it into high-en- d ums, said Whitney Rcarick, Utah Issues housing specialist. These developers are not replacing what is lost Amy Row land, Bank of Americas community development vice president, added: I have doubts about whether this is really the best thing for this market. Rental housing is what seems to be in most short supply.
