Jurisdictions across Virginia are closely watching a legal challenge in Arlington to a zoning change known as Missing Middle. Michael Pope tells us about the latest twist.
A local activist group, Rooted in Littleton, recently conducted a survey of more than 1,000 Littleton voters about housing density — and found that 49% of those polled think the city is in a housing shortage. But that same survey found that more than half of respondents oppose increasing housing density. Kyle Schlachter, the mayor of Littleton, took the survey himself, and has a lot of thoughts about preserving the charm of Littleton while making sure people have access to housing. He joins host Bree Davies to talk about the city's current approach to “gentle density”, what could happen if Rooted in Littleton's current petition to change land use makes it to the ballot in November, and what the effect of “protecting single family residential zoning” could have on the future of this suburb.For even more news from around the city, subscribe to our morning newsletter Hey Denver at denver.citycast.fm.Follow us on Instagram: @citycastdenverChat with other listeners on reddit: r/CityCastDenverSupport City Cast Denver by becoming a member: membership.citycast.fmWhat do you think?

He breaks down the strategic value of land rezoning, lessons learned from leveraging debt, and how his firm partners with major institutions while maintaining rigorous risk controls.

In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie talks with David Rames, Senior Product Manager at Midea America, about how Multi-zone Ductless systems work and where they fit best. David explains why they're great for homes without ductwork and how each room can have its own comfort setting. They break down how the system runs, including how it uses one outdoor unit for many indoor units. Gary and David also cover installation tips, design tricks, and how to avoid wiring mistakes. Plus, they share real-world advice on mounting units to reduce noise and making sure systems run smoothly and last longer. David Rames explains why Multi-zone Ductless systems are a smart choice for homes without ductwork. He shares how one outdoor unit can run many indoor heads, giving each room its own comfort level. David also talks about how the system adjusts refrigerant flow to match the needs of each zone. He explains why line sets and wiring must be carefully planned and how a special feature can fix mistakes if zones are mixed up. David gives tips on placing the outdoor unit to avoid noise, and how knowing these small things helps the system work better and keeps customers happy. Here, David explains how Multi-zone Ductless systems give better comfort by letting each room set its own temperature. Like having light dimmers, people can control heat or cool just where they need it. He talks about how one unit sends refrigerant to all zones and why installers must size and wire things right. David also shares how a smart feature can fix wiring mistakes fast, but it's still best to fix it right later.

For many families, homelessness is no longer someone else's problem. It is right around the corner, a real threat in their own immediate future. The crisis is the result of a long history of government policies, court cases, and political manipulation. While these disparate causes make up a tangled web, they have one surprising root: the attack on private property rights. For more than a century, government policies and court decisions have attacked, undermined, and eroded private property rights. Whether it be exclusionary zoning, eminent domain abuse, rent control, or excessive environmental regulations, The cumulative impact of these assaults on private property is that it has become increasingly difficult—or even impossible—to build adequate housing supplies to meet market demands. We are fast approaching a time when millions of typical Americans will, quite literally, have nowhere to live.Nowhere to Live: The Hidden Story of America's Housing Crisis, takes readers through the history of how we got here. With stories going back to the Civil War, the early twentieth century, and the ill-fated “urban renewal” movement of the 1950s, Nowhere to Live reveals how the government layered mistake upon mistake to create the current crisis. It also provides a way out: not by government fiat, but through the restoration of private property rights. https://www.amazon.com/Nowhere-Live-Hidden-Americas-Housing/dp/1510781536http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

The Elephant In The Room Property Podcast | Inside Australian Real Estate
What do zoning shakeups mean for your suburb, your street, and your property’s value? In this Q&A episode, we answer real questions from listeners and unpack the property market trends that are shaping the way people buy, build, and invest right now. We talk about what makes a home “A-grade” beyond land size and location, how to avoid overcapitalising, and why things like natural light and flexible layouts matter more than fancy finishes. We also break down the reality of rentvesting with a family and whether that under-$600K “positively geared” investment still exists. Here’s what we break down in this episode: Zoning changes are reshaping Sydney’s character suburbs—some areas will win, others could lose. Future-proofing your build matters: think layout, street appeal, and long-term resale. High rental yield doesn’t always mean better—capital growth still does the heavy lifting. Rentvesting only works if it fits your long-term goals and lifestyle. Don’t chase trends. Understand why the property market is shifting before you buy. If these are the questions keeping you up at night, or at least making you pause, this episode’s worth a listen. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 01:49 - How will zoning and development changes affect Sydney’s heritage suburbs? 11:44 - What should I consider when building a home to maximise resale or rental value? 18:50 - Are three-bedroom apartments really being bought by first home buyers? 22:41 - Should I focus on capital growth or rental yield while building my portfolio? 34:03 - Is it still possible to buy a positively geared property under $600K? 43:56 - Should we rentvest or try to buy in an area we’ve been priced out of?

And that's in addition to what we've already got planned and in the works.” — Jill Seitz But this isn't just about building homes—it's about building the right kinds of homes in the right places. “People that live and work in the Lehigh Valley can't always find housing they can afford or housing that suits their needs.” — Jill Seitz “The challenge has always been, and still is, that we have more buyers than we have sellers.” — Michael Bernadyn The Zoning Conversation We Need to Have Much of the region's housing strain comes down to barriers in zoning and local governance. “We have 62 municipalities in the Lehigh Valley. And if you want to build a multifamily development, you've got to go through a very time-consuming process. And there's a lot of resistance.” — Michael Bernadyn “Communities want economic growth… but they don't always want the housing that goes along with that.” — Jill Seitz The solution? A shift in mindset—and a move toward regional thinking. “Housing is not optional. It's not a nice-to-have. It's necessary if we want to keep growing.” — Jill Seitz What's Next? The path forward requires policy alignment, regional cooperation, and a commitment to long-term solutions. “We want to make sure that our municipalities are zoning for all types of housing. And that we're working regionally to make sure there's a place for everyone—whether that's a first-time buyer, someone downsizing, or someone who wants to stay in their neighborhood as they age.” — Jill Seitz “If we don't start having these conversations now, and making changes now, the situation is going to get worse—and fast. But if we do act now, we can start to shift things in a better direction.” — Michael Bernadyn This Episode Matters This conversation isn't just about housing markets. It's about equity, sustainability, and what kind of future the Lehigh Valley wants to build.

In this episode of Uncontested Investing, we dive into a niche strategy that's been gaining traction across real estate portfolios: mixed-use properties. We're talking about storefronts with apartments above, office-residential hybrids, live-work lofts, and beyond, and why these hybrid properties can unlock multiple income streams, increased flexibility, and long-term cash flow. We break down the biggest advantages (and challenges), walk through real-life examples, and share creative strategies to make these properties a cornerstone of your portfolio without getting overwhelmed. Whether you're managing retail below or tenants upstairs, this is your guide to turning a single investment into a multi-dimensional asset.
