Perhaps it would be a little more Mediterranean.perhaps even a little like South Africa. ![]() Just imagine how different Arizona would be if it was an extension of San Diego or if there was a large body of water with a cold current making up the border between Mexico and here. Ooooh, fog, marine layer, cool nights, a higher average humidity, some frost-free locations, no months on end above 100, no nights above 90. ![]() Take a moment and think about what the Pacific Ocean does for coastal and semi-coastal California. ![]() Why torture the plant and yourself when there are so many species that actually do well here? Why do you need barberae, tongaensis and eminens when you can have a truly stunning dichotoma? Wouldn't it make sense that if those other species did well here, we'd see them all around in the landscapes as commonly as we do in California? I mean, it's not like Aloe barberae is new to cultivation by any stretch of the imagination. This isn't a cool, mild, sometimes damp and foggy place in any way shape or form. Trying to grow Aloe polyphylla in Arizona is as futile as trying to grow Aloe (Kumara) plicatilis here. They had a great selection of both Agaves and other Aloes compared to most nurseries I have been to here in the VotS, I know, nothing compared to the nurseries in Tucson, but in a way good that it is far enough away that going there requires planning otherwise I'd be dropping a lot of money there. However, now a day later, the idea of: what if I could make it work is still playing around in my head. If it had been a $25 plant I would have just done it, but that idea of almost sure failure made me not want to throw $50 away (given that me selling things on eBay has been a non starter for me forever even though I have a number of things I should just sell given that they are taking up space I'd prefer to use for different plants). The tables and maps in this data book provide many opportunities to understand the city’s diverse characteristics in great detail.If it was just the summer highs to be concerned with I would have probably not walked away without one, but just thinking about the weeks and weeks of 80-85+ night time lows (and not even considering the week or two of 90+ we have been getting recently) and how in that period looking at many aloes, that are way more suited to deal with this than Aloe polyphylla, with a water hose in your hand makes them immediately slump over in a pile of goo, made me not get one. Growing SLC lays out a number of comprehensive solutions and policies to address the lack of affordable housing for households earning 40% or below the Area Median Income, including: updates to zoning regulations, removing impediments to development, innovative construction, increasing homeownership opportunities, eliminating incidences of housing discrimination, and implementing life-cycle housing principles. (Please note, that this plan serves as our State of Utah required biennial Moderate Income Housing Plan.)ĭescribing the characteristics of Salt Lake City’s population and households at the neighborhood level reveals much more about the diversity, opportunities, and challenges within its population than does a set of citywide metrics. ![]() Moreover, it considers that as we grow we must build, but build thoughtfully, in a way that is sustainable, equitable and durable. The plan outlines a thoughtful strategy for ensuring long-term affordability and preservation that continues to enhance neighborhoods while balancing their unique needs.
