While much of the housing conversation in 2026 has focused on slower sales, elevated mortgage rates and affordability challenges, industry leaders say a bigger issue is emerging behind the scenes: a future housing supply shortage.  Tim Arnold of D.R. Horton, Cara Lavender of John Burns Research and Consulting and Jim Jacobi of Parkland Communities, join host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio for a mid-year market update on looming lot shortages, zoning challenges, affordability concerns and the factors shaping housing supply across metro Atlanta.  The Biggest Housing Story Nobody Is Talking About  “In my opinion, the biggest secret in housing today is the lack of new zonings that are occurring,” said Jacobi.  He explained that numerous municipalities have either implemented zoning moratoriums or significantly slowed approvals, creating a development pipeline problem that could emerge over the next several years. Although today’s market remains slower than the pandemic-era housing boom, builders continue selling homes and working through existing lot inventories. The challenge is that many communities are not approving enough future projects to replace what is currently being built.  “People probably do not recognize what is happening out there with the lot supply market,” said Arnold. “There is going to be a struggle for folks to get lot supply.”  Labor and Building Capacity Could Become the Next Challenge  With in-migration at historically low levels and major infrastructure projects such as data centers competing for skilled trades, Lavender said labor constraints could quickly become a concern if housing demand accelerates.  “If a demand faucet turns on, do we have the lots available?” she said. “But in that same breath, do we have the labor and the building products capacity available to support an uptick in production?”  Slower production volumes have helped ease labor pressures. However, the industry may not be prepared to rapidly increase construction activity if market conditions improve.  Spring Selling Season Falls Short of Expectations  While future supply concerns remain top of mind, today’s housing market continues to face near-term challenges. Lavender described the spring selling season as “underwhelming.” Uncertain demand and hesitant consumers continue to weigh on market performance. Builders are maintaining sales through pricing strategies and incentives, but those efforts are coming at the expense of profit margins.  Senate Bill 447 Could Improve Georgia’s Permitting Process  Senate Bill 447 could provide a welcome boost for Georgia’s housing industry by improving transparency and accountability in the permitting process. The legislation increases visibility into permit reviews, requires written explanations for permit denials and establishes timelines for local governments to respond to applications. It could also help reduce delays that often add significant costs to housing projects.  “It’ll speed up the building and land development permits,” said Arnold.  Build-to-Rent Gains Recognition as an Asset Class  Federal housing legislation could significantly affect the build-to-rent sector. Proposed revisions to the Road to Housing Act would provide greater certainty for investors and developers while reinforcing build-to-rent’s role in the broader housing market. One of the most notable aspects of the legislation is its recognition of build-to-rent as a distinct asset class, a change that could strengthen investor confidence and support additional capital investment. Greater certainty and increased investment could help expand housing supply by encouraging additional build-to-rent development in high-demand markets.  Gwinnett County Offers a Warning Sign  From January through April 2025, unincorporated Gwinnett County issued approximately 2,800 new home permits. During that same period, local officials approved zoning for only about 1,400 future housing units.  “So they only zoned about half as many lots as what has been built in the same time period,” said Jacobi.  This imbalance raises questions about where future housing inventory will come from if current approval trends continue. Ongoing zoning moratoriums, elevated land costs and community opposition to new development could further constrain housing supply and place additional pressure on affordability.  Tune in next week for Part 2 of this market update, where the panel takes a deeper look at affordability, infrastructure challenges and what housing leaders expect over the next several years.  About Parkland Communities  Parkland Communities, Inc., the parent company of build-to-rent home builder, Parkland Residential, is a privately owned, multifaceted real estate development and investment firm specializing in residential properties.

When people think about herbs for stress, they often reach for the usual recommendations. But some of the most supportive herbs aren't always the most obvious.Here, I share three surprising herbs that I frequently think about for different types of stress and nervous system support.► Milky oats for deep depletion and nervous system nourishment► Lavender for anxiety and acute stress support► Reishi for chronic, long-term stress and resilienceI also share an important lesson I've learned after many years of working with herbs: while herbs can be incredible allies, lasting resilience comes from understanding your unique constitution and changing your relationship to stress itself.That's exactly why Rebecca Altman and I created the Building Resilience Course, which combines herbs, self-awareness, and practical tools for building resilience from the inside out.Learn more and join here.

Have you heard of 'Tail-Gunner Joe' McCarthy and the Red Scare?  What about Roy Cohn?  These two not only kicked off the Red Scare where they pursued supposed communists in Government and later the military, but also went aafter gays under the theory that they were 'moral perverts susceptible to blackmail.'.  Despite no evidence appearing that even one of these people were blackmailed outside the movie Clue (which is complete fiction), thousands of employees were fired between 1953 and the 90's when gay employees were forced out of government positions or fotced to live lives undercover simply because of who they loved.  We cover the history of the lavender scare, people who were targeted because of it, a similar case in England where Alan Turing,  the father of Artificial Intelligence was convicted of gross perversion for his relationship with another man and was chemically castrated which led to the unraveling of his brilliant mind.  All this and more in this, this is why we celebrate PRIDE because we need to remind ourselves just how bad it's been for the LGBTQ during our lifetimes episode of the Family Plot Podcast.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

We're familiar with the image of a cold, snowy night with friends gathered around a fireplace laughing, telling stories, everyone enjoying a mug of hot chocolate, maybe with marshmallows. What might we be doing if our mugs were filled with cacao? A ritual? Yes!  For more than 50 years, Dina Valentini has followed the path less taken to develop a relationship with the plant known as "the food of the gods."  She talks about the botany of cacao, how cacao becomes chocolate, and how she uses cacao in rituals.  Dina also shares how her experience as a chef guides what she blends into her cacao bars. Lavender, fig, ginger, and rose are a few of her favorites. Using beans soaked in the brandy her late-father always drank, Dina created the award-winning bar "Mi Padre." Yes, she makes custom blends for weddings, fund raisers, personal rituals, and more.  Dina speaks with love about the relaxing, heart-opening benefit of cacao she calls "the pause." We're exploring how such a pause might help family dementia caregivers, a role both Dina and I have experienced.  For more -- much more -- visit Dina's website: https://DinaValentini.com

Judy Beck from Clonroad Garden Centre joined Derrick Lynch live on Monday's Morning Focus for our regular In The Garden slot. This week, Judy gave advice on growing lavender. Logo (c) Clonroad Garden Centre.

“I am haunted by history: the history of dictatorship, the history of empire, history as a whole,” declares the Iraqi novelist, poet, scholar, and literary translator Sinan Antoon near the start of this conversation about his most recent novel, Of Loss and Lavender. Sinan, speaking with Magalí and critic Michael Allan, goes on to say that “the novel allows for a more wholesome, in-depth confrontation with history.” That confrontation, in turn, requires narrative forms that are complex, sometimes fractured, and often non-linear in order to braid together a range of different perspectives on a particular moment or event. As Sinan observes in a discussion of the Arabic term nisyān—“forgetting” or “forgetfulness,” although its nuances in Arabic are not easily rendered in English—even memory itself is not static. And yet, shared histories of empire and imperialism make it possible to draw connections between far-flung locations, as Sinan does in Of Loss and Lavender by drawing together Iraq and Puerto Rico. From here, the conversation turns to the pleasures and challenges of translation, including some of Sinan's choices when translating his own work into English. This includes the effort to make legible the nuances of race, class, and other forms of difference across contexts; although, as Sinan notes, much of his younger readership in the Arab world today is often well-versed in US culture.

“I am haunted by history: the history of dictatorship, the history of empire, history as a whole,” declares the Iraqi novelist, poet, scholar, and literary translator Sinan Antoon near the start of this conversation about his most recent novel, Of Loss and Lavender. Sinan, speaking with Magalí and critic Michael Allan, goes on to say that “the novel allows for a more wholesome, in-depth confrontation with history.” That confrontation, in turn, requires narrative forms that are complex, sometimes fractured, and often non-linear in order to braid together a range of different perspectives on a particular moment or event. As Sinan observes in a discussion of the Arabic term nisyān—“forgetting” or “forgetfulness,” although its nuances in Arabic are not easily rendered in English—even memory itself is not static. And yet, shared histories of empire and imperialism make it possible to draw connections between far-flung locations, as Sinan does in Of Loss and Lavender by drawing together Iraq and Puerto Rico. From here, the conversation turns to the pleasures and challenges of translation, including some of Sinan's choices when translating his own work into English. This includes the effort to make legible the nuances of race, class, and other forms of difference across contexts; although, as Sinan notes, much of his younger readership in the Arab world today is often well-versed in US culture. The conversation concludes with a discussion of Sinan's frequent use of poems and songs in the novel, a device that points back to the multi-genre experiments of the premodern Arabic tradition, and a moving portrait of a teacher who transmitted to his students ideas about justice and equality despite the dictatorship under which he worked.

Got some sh!t to say?This week, Marko and Steve dive into the fascinating and often misunderstood world of lavender marriages — relationships historically formed to conceal someone's sexuality in order to protect careers, reputations, family expectations, or personal safety. From Old Hollywood to everyday life decades ago, lavender marriages were often less about romance and more about survival in a society that left little room for LGBTQ+ people to live openly.The guys unpack why these arrangements became so prevalent, the emotional complexity behind them, and whether they were always as transactional as people assume. Were some built on genuine friendship, companionship, or even love in a different form? And now that LGBTQ+ acceptance is far more visible in today's culture, do lavender marriages still exist — just under different labels or pressures?To wrap things up, the guys  tackle the week's Listener Sh!tuation, offering their thoughts and guidance on a real life dilemma from the audience.-Articles:Psychology Today | The Return of Lavender MarriagesSupport Ruben Tomas:Follow Him | @ruben_tomasVote for Him | Johnny Depp presents The People's ArtistSupport the showSh!t | Leave us a voicemail with your relationship sh!tuation at (903) POD- SHIT.  That's (903) 763-7448.  You can also fill out a Listener Sh!tuation on our website, podrelationshit.com, or email us at relationshitquestions@gmail.com.

Transcript: Interviewer: Mother Day is often about pampering and relaxing. But the reality is most moms don't have the luxury of slowing down. Between work, family, and everything in between, Self care can easily fail to the bottom of the list. So that's why today and for Mother's day, we brought Dr. Leah Carwell here to talk to us about skincare.  She's a skin care expert and dermatologist. And we are so glad to have you with us today. Dr Carwell: Thank you so much for having me.  So why is it important for moms to make sure they incorporate little self care into their daily life?  Dr. Carwell: Yes. So moms are always taking care of everyone else, often at the expense of themselves. And that can often contribute to fatigue, stress and burnout. Self care doesn't have to be complicated. It can actually be pretty simple and straightforward. I find that my patients follow simple routines more consistently rather than those more aggressive routines. And I find that those simple routines tend to lead to better outcomes over those aggressive, complicated routines that are done inconsistently and intermittently. Absolutely. And you got me at simple. So what are some things moms can do to feel good and stay cool any day of the week? Dr Carwell: Right. You know, they're always busy, so it can be difficult to slow down even on Mother's Day. But I find that secrets new whole body cooling deodorant mist and relaxing Lavender is a great on the go, pick me up option that can just be sprayed on the skin. It's been demonstrated to cool the skin by 10 degrees. So it's a great on the go option. Just a nice pick me up. Very refreshing. You gotta have that now. Not everyone has time to get to the spa for a facial. So do you have tips for looking your best every day? Dr Carwell: Yeah. So like I said, simple is key. Simple routines done consistently is key. I love Olay Skin's microscoping cream with triple collagen peptides. It's specially formulated to activate cells to repair the signs of skin aging. You apply it to the skin in the morning after cleansing and can apply to the face and neck area. It's a simple, straightforward routine that really packs a punch. That's great, but what about the rest of the skin? What about taking care of your skin in general? Dr Carwell: Correct. Correct. So whether it's your facial skin or your body skin, it's all skin. Right. It needs the same thing. So you really want to prioritize hydration, barrier support and avoidance of irritants. I love Native's moisturizing body wash because it's available in a variety of different fun scents. It's free of parabens, sulfates, petrolatum, as well as dyes, which these ingredients can actually be irritating to the skin. This product is very hydrating, very nourishing. It really changes that daily shower into a 24 hour hydration treatment. That sounds so nice. So where can our viewers go for more information? Doctor, thank you. Dr Carwell: Absolutely. So you can go to bit.ly/MothersDayBeautybuys. Happy Mother's Day.   About Dr. Leah Cardwell Dr. Leah Cardwell is a board-certified dermatologist and dermatopathologist based in Georgia. She specializes in medical and cosmetic skin care and has over a decade of experience treating conditions like acne, eczema, an d psoriasis.

Bisbee’s Lavender Pit multi-use path is facing a roughly $600,000 to $800,000 funding gap after construction bids came in far higher than expected, putting the yearslong project in jeopardy. Supporters told the City Council that if construction doesn’t start by July, the project could lose key federal funding, and city officials said they’re searching for options but can’t cover the full shortfall.Support the show: https://www.myheraldreview.com/site/forms/subscription_services/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Global volatility hasn't pushed commercial real estate investing into a crisis — it's having the opposite effect, Chad Lavender, Newmark's president of capital markets in North America, said on this week's show.Optimism around economic growth is keeping borrowers optimistic that income streams will grow, even if interest rates don't sink. There is no wave of distress on the horizon because debt markets are “almost insatiable,” Lavender said.Despite private credit continuing to grow, bank lending opening up at pre-Covid levels and investors increasingly drawn to hard asset in uncertain times, that doesn't mean windfalls are around the corner or sales activity is about explode.“We know where stuff's going to price, that doesn't mean a seller wants to sell it there,” Lavender said.

Let me be real with you for a second. I used to be the guy saying "I don't have time to learn another tool." I said the same thing about social media back in 2012, and I paid for it. Every single time I waited, I left money, time, and momentum on the table. So when AI started picking up speed, I made a decision: I was going all in, not as some tech bro, but as a business owner who needed to do more with less and still get home for dinner. In this solo episode, I am giving you my full AI playbook. No fluff, no theory, just 7 tips, tools, and tactics you can actually deploy this week to grow faster, reclaim your time, and build the kind of business that works for your life. Here is why this matters right now. While you are listening to this, your competitor might be running what is essentially a 10-person operation for $30 a month using AI. That gap is opening up fast, and the entrepreneurs who figure this out now are going to be playing a completely different game than everyone else in 12 months. The stats back it up. Entrepreneurs using AI are saving 310 hours a year. That is 13 full days back in your life. Productivity is up 40% on average, and for every $1 invested in AI, businesses are seeing $3.70 in return. This is not a gamble. This is the safest bet you can make right now. Here are the 7 moves I am breaking down in this episode: Tip 1: AI as Your Content Second Brain — Use AI to draft emails, posts, pitches, and outlines, then add your own voice on top. You are the editor, not the writer. Tools: Claude, ChatGPT, Jasper. Tip 2: Automate Customer Communications — Build an AI-powered FAQ sequence for your top 5 customer questions. Set it up once and let it run while you sleep. Tools: Intercom, Manychat, HubSpot AI, Tidio. Tip 3: Market Research & Competitor Intelligence — Use AI to surface your competitor's biggest customer complaints in minutes and build your marketing around every single one. Tools: Perplexity AI, Claude with web search. Tip 4: Automate Operations with AI Agents — Map your most time-consuming weekly task and automate it. Run a one-person company like a 50-person operation. Tools: Zapier AI, Make.com, n8n. Tip 5: AI for Financial Forecasting — Export 12 months of revenue, paste it into Claude, and ask it to analyze trends, find growth opportunities, and flag risks. No CFO needed. Tools: Fathom, Digits, Claude. Tip 6: Multiply Your Sales Output — Before every sales call, paste your prospect's LinkedIn into Claude and get their top challenges and conversation openers ready. Tools: Apollo.io, Clay, Lavender. Tip 7: Build Your Personal AI Operating System — Write a brain dump of your role, goals, and challenges. Paste it into Claude every Monday and use it as your strategic advisor for the week. Tools: Claude, ChatGPT, Notion AI. The biggest truth bomb I can drop on you is this: AI will not replace entrepreneurs who are great at human connection. But it will absolutely replace entrepreneurs who refuse to use it. The Balanced, Fulfilling, Badass life is about working smarter so you can pour your energy into what actually matters, your relationships, your health, and your purpose. AI handles the work a machine can do so you can do the work only you can do. Start with one tip from this episode. Just one. The one that made you think "oh yeah, I need that." Open Claude or ChatGPT in the next 24 hours, paste in your biggest business challenge, and treat it like an advisor who never sleeps and never judges you. You will be surprised at what comes back.

Bundle up, because it's about to get really cold inside the Burrow! The MuggleCasters have reached “A Very Frosty Christmas” in their Chapter-by-Chapter reread of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And they're not alone. This week the Real Weird Sisters Alice and Martha have joined us! Topics cover the new Minister for Magic's cunning, Mrs. Weasley's faults, and the Weasley Brothers' violent tendencies.

Chapter by Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 16: A Very Frosty Christmas The MC Pensive segment takes us back to an episode we recorded seven years ago. Are we surprised that people still aren't believing Harry about Draco, even Ron? What's with all the rough housing going on in the Burrow between Ron and his brothers? Is this a dangerous escalation or par for the course? Should Bill be stepping in between Fleur and Mrs. Weasley's feud? The hosts analyze Remus Lupin's story and his backstory. What is Lavender expecting from Ron, as indicated by her flashy piece of jewelry for him? Does anyone buy Scrimgeour's story that he and Percy were "just in the area"? Is Scrimgeour any more smooth than Cornelius Fudge was? Did Percy give Scrimgeour advice on tips for how to appeal to Harry? It kinda feels like he did, which is why Rufus failed so badly. Our MVP segment asks what Harry's sassiest line in the chapter is. Our Lynx Line topic this week for Slug Club patrons: What did Fred and George try to make Ron do with the Unbreakavable Vow? Coming up on Bonus MuggleCast for Slug Club patrons, we analyze our personal romantic histories broken down by the Hogwarts houses of our partners. It's a not-to-miss discussion!
