Homelessness Blame Game, LDS Chatbot, Tiny Art Show

Homelessness is up across the state, and local and state electeds are beefing over it. Executive producer Emily Means, producer Ivana Martinez, and City Cast Salt Lake contributor Cassie Bingham break down the data and discuss the showdown. Plus, an LDS chatbot for your existential questions, queer bachata, and a tiny art show.
