A thousand new homes in Queenstown are being targeted at "high quality, long term" renterns, with seasonal workers warned not to apply. Housing developer Simplicity living has the project on the fast-track pathway, and if it gets the green light the first 200 homes should be available within 18 months. Chief executive Sam Stubbs spoke to Lisa Owen.
Kainga Ora has just opened Northland's biggest-ever social housing development, a 95-home complex in central Whangarei. Reporter Peter de Graaf met a few lucky tenants, and some of those still waiting.
Questions? Comments? We love feedback! Email us at info@baishavaad.org Rav Shmuel HonigwachsQuestion: Reuven lives in a development where the houses are situated fairly close together and everyone has windows that face each other's yards. One day, he decides that he wants to install a swimming pool in his backyard. Can he force all of his neighbors to either seal their windows or contribute towards the building of a fence?Answer: We previously discussed a case where two people purchase a property from one person, and they split the property into two. We mentioned that there is a disagreement between the Mechaber and Rema whether one of them can force the other to close off his windows due to hezek riya. We said that although the Rema rules that they can force each to close off any windows facing into their courtyards, we cannot force people today to do so since hezek riya is not such a concern for contemporary backyards.Regarding swimming pools, however, where there is a genuine concern of hezek riya, it stands to reason that the Rema's ruling could be enforced and the neighbors could be forced to seal their windows or contribute towards the building of a mechitzah.This may seem like an interesting conclusion, and truth be told I have not seen this ever being enforced, but that seems to be the halacha.

Brandon Cobb of HBG Capital explains the intricate process of land entitlement and development in the modern real estate market. He describes how his company identifies unimproved land, secures government approvals, and installs horizontal infrastructure like roads and utilities before selling finished lots to large national homebuilders. This specialized "middleman" role allows developers to mitigate risk by contracting for land only when they are certain of its development potential. The discussion highlights why new housing supply is difficult to create, noting that the process often takes years due to bureaucratic hurdles and environmental regulations. Ultimately, Cobb expresses optimism for 2026, predicting a market turnaround driven by lowering interest rates and a massive demand for entry-level affordable housing. Through this lens, Brandon provides a detailed look at the behind-the-scenes mechanics that sustain the residential real estate economy. _______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

The future of the former Shannon Shamrock Hotel site is once again under the spotlight after An Coimisiún Pleanála refused planning permission for a major housing development there. The prominent site has remained derelict for more than a decade, despite various proposals over the years ranging from reopening the hotel to ideas for tourism and commercial developments. The latest refusal has reignited debate over what should happen next at one of the most high-profile locations in Bunratty. To discuss the decision and the future possibilities for the site, Alan Morrissey was joined by Cratloe Fianna Fáil Councillor Pat O'Gorman and Kevin O'Connor from Bunratty Local Development Association.

Christchurch's Mayor doesn't think previously red zoned land has been tainted by its past. The City Council's agreed to engage with interested parties, including social housing providers, iwi, and private developers. It's identified more than 10 hectares of land, split across 11 parts of the quake damaged zone, suitable for housing. Phil Mauger told Mike Hosking work will be needed on the foundations, but it's suitable to live on. He says 15 years ago red zoned land was defined by a ball point pen by someone in Wellington – now we know a lot more and there are some little pockets that could be used.

An urban planning specialist believes Auckland's density plan is far too important to meddle with. The Government again revised the super-city's plan yesterday to reduce minimum housing capacity to 1.4 million. It's the second revision within weeks from the original two million after continued push-back in some suburbs. Mt Hobson Group's Hamish Firth told Mike Hosking the plan needs to be done by and for Aucklanders. He says it's been wrongly directed from the start, as it was lunacy to mandate two-million houses.

An Auckland councillor says people shouldn't read too much into yet another change to Auckland's density plan. The Government revised the Super-city's minimum housing capacity for a second time yesterday, settling on 1.4 million after continued push-back in some suburbs. Last month it reduced it from two-million homes to 1.6-million. Councillor Richard Hills told Ryan Bridge the latest number just feels like political game playing. He says legal requirements mean it'll likely end up near 1.6 million regardless. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's feared an unexpected social housing development will lead to a rampant spate of anti-social behaviour in North Clare. In 2019, the local authority granted permission for the refurbishment of the Ennistymon Convent to encompass 30 residential units. It was initially expected that the project would be earmarked for older people, however, it's understood the properties are now intended for social housing. Cathaoirleach of the West Clare Municipal District and Lahinch Fine Gael Councillor Bill Slattery and Ennistymon Fianna Fáil Councillor Shane Talty say there are serious concerns about the location.
One of Auckland's largest new housing developments - the Sunfield "masterplanned community" near Ardmore airport in South Auckland has been the go-ahead under fast track provisions - but there are concerns about why it's being built on a flood plain.

An urban planning specialist is advising the Government to be careful changing a development plan he believes was already working. The Government's revising the city's housing capacity number in its new plan from just over two million to 1.6 million. It is focusing more on building in the city and by transport hubs, rather than suburbs. Mt Hobson Group Director Hamish Firth told Mike Hosking you're creating fear from something that people don't get. He says you create paper capacity, but also community backlash, land value distortion and probably not any extra homes. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, Dane Carlson sits down with Lisa Hurley, Executive Director of the York County Development Corporation in Nebraska, to talk about what modern rural economic development actually looks like on the ground. Lisa shares how York County leverages its logistics position, diversified employers, and growing civic pride while navigating workforce shortages, childcare capacity, housing pressure, and community resistance to change. They discuss talent attraction campaigns, podcasting as an economic development tool, and why rural EDOs must now think far beyond traditional business recruitment. The conversation also explores leadership, burnout, mentoring the next generation of economic developers, and how Lisa is using AI to save time while staying human where it matters most. Like this show? Please leave us a review here — even one sentence helps! Ten Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Treat childcare capacity as core economic infrastructure, not a side issue Invest in talent marketing even when results are hard to attribute directly Use layered messaging across state, local, and employer campaigns Build trust by proactively sharing progress and visuals with the community Accept that some resistance to change cannot be resolved, only managed Partner aggressively to avoid owning every initiative yourself Use podcasts and storytelling to humanize your community and organization Leverage AI for HR, editing, and admin work to protect business-facing time Mentor younger economic developers to reduce burnout and build continuity Remember that stopping a bad project can be a win, not a failure Special Guest: Lisa Hurley.

The Government is confirming it is making changes to Auckland's housing intensification plan. It has been considering watering down controversial planning rules allowing two million homes to be built over the coming decades. Chris Bishop says that target is nothing more than a modelling number on a spread sheet, but he will be changing it over the coming month. He told Mike Hosking most Aucklanders seem to agree there needs to be more housing in the CBD and along transit routes. Bishop says the plan will allow that while restricting up-zoning in suburban areas. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
John Casmon interviews Dusten Hendrickson about why he believes development can be less risky than acquisitions when executed with discipline, repetition, and a long-term mindset. Dusten explains how creating value at the ground-up stage provides more margin to weather interest rate shifts and market cycles, especially compared to buying stabilized assets at peak pricing. He breaks down why “cool” trophy projects often underperform, how his team focuses on scalable workforce housing, and the operational efficiencies that drive stronger cash flow and durability. The episode offers a detailed look at development strategy, vertical integration, and why boring, repeatable projects often outperform flashy builds over time.

Some relief is being felt by Auckland's local boards as the Government looks to back-track on its housing requirements. The Government has mandated intensification plans for the city to open the door to two million potential homes over the next 30 years. But Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says feedback clearly shows change is needed. Orākei Local Board Planning Portfolio Lead Troy Churton told Mike Hosking he'd like to see a slower, more considered approach. He says the plan was made to accelerate housing change, but the scale and bluntness has undermined the system. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Shovels could be in the ground for Ennis's largest ever housing development as early as next week. Four years on from having its original plans turned down by Clare County Council, Glenveagh Homes Limited has secured planning permission for almost 300 homes in the county town. An Bórd Pleanála gave the green light in for a 289-unit Strategic Housing Development on lands at Ballymacaula, Drumbiggle, Keelty and Circular Road in Ennis in April of 2023. In June of last year however, the Kildare-based developer submitted a new application - this time for 300 dwellings - to replace the original plans. Granting permission this week, Clare County Council has told the applicant to omit two units to create car parking space for users of a proposed childcare facility. At 298 homes, it's set to be the largest private residential development ever built in Ennis and will be delivered on a phased basis. Local Fianna Fáil Councillor Clare Colleran-Molloy says some of the homes could be at turnkey stage within a year.

New year, same problem: housing. Part of the new housing law that passed in special session in 2025 included the creation of a Council on Housing Development to advise and assist in reviewing regulations, developing guidelines and establishing programs concerning the growth of housing in the state. The council was supposed to have its first meeting January first; it did not happen and apparently, not everyone has been appointed to the council. We spoke with Senate Minority Leader, Steve Harding, about the implications for our housing crisis and whether the recently passed law was just ‘checkmark' legislation.To read the full language in House Bill 8002 that establishes the council: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2025/BA/PDF/2025HB-08002-R00SS1-BA.PDF

In the first episode of A Developing Story, host Brian Peter Falk introduces the idyllic beach city of Santa Monica, California and explores how a controversial state wide development mandate called "The Housing Element" is forcing the city to allow the construction of nearly 9,000 new apartments.Santa Monica Daily Press Links:https://smdp.com/news/hcd-rejects-citys-housing-element-demands-revisions/https://smdp.com/news/after-housing-element-debacle-implementation-work-begins/https://smdp.com/news/housing-element-becomes-hot-topic-at-local-leader-gathering/
In this episode, Brian examines three housing development projects in Santa Monica – all of which have courted controversy. One is a large development that could replace a beloved grocery store, another is a supportive housing project a block from the city's shopping promenade, and the third is a project that was killed by community activism, with unintended consequences.

As California's current high-speed rail fiasco attests, big and ambitious public projects are hard. California's biggest project of all is housing development. Will it suffer the same fate? In this final episode, Brian explores the impediments to success, including the increasingly caustic "backyard brawl" between NIMBYS and YIMBYS, and asks his guests to pitch their versions of a successful housing future.
