In this episode of Infill, YIMBY Law's Executive Director, Sonja Trauss, sits down with Sara Bronin—architect, attorney, professor, and author—for a deep dive into the rules that shape where and how we live. They discuss findings from the National Zoning Atlas, the power of local zoning codes, and how land use policy affects everything from housing affordability and environmental sustainability to food systems and even nightlife. Tune in to hear how zoning has been used to block housing, how it's tied to segregation and climate change, and how rethinking it at all levels of government could unlock more equitable and livable communities. Sonja and Sara also discuss what it's like to build a nationwide zoning map, why seemingly small rules like minimum unit sizes matter, and how advocates everywhere can put zoning data to work to create more abundant housing for all of us!

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners approved the project, awarding the contract to Wilson Construction Management, the lowest bidder. Construction, in partnership with the city of Ball Ground, begins in May and will take about a year, with intermittent lane closures. Funded by SPLOST and a $500,000 GDOT grant, the roundabout also marks the first phase of the Ball Ground Bypass project. STORY 2: Canton Police Investigating Fatal Crash The Canton Police Department is investigating a fatal crash involving a tractor-trailer and an SUV on Riverstone Parkway near the I-575 southbound on-ramp. Emergency responders quickly arrived, and the interstate was temporarily closed for investigation and cleanup. The roadway has since reopened, but the cause of the crash remains under investigation. Police Chief Marty Ferrell expressed condolences to the victim's family and urged anyone with information to contact the Special Operations Division at 770-720-4883. STORY 3: Cherokee County Puts Pause on Gas Stations and Convenience Stores Cherokee County has enacted a 90-day moratorium on new applications for gas stations, convenience stores, and car washes in unincorporated areas. Approved unanimously by the Board of Commissioners, the pause allows time to assess zoning and placement of these businesses, particularly along the Highway 92 corridor, which already has nine under construction. Existing permits are unaffected. A public hearing will follow the moratorium to decide on potential extensions or new regulations. Commissioner Corey Ragsdale emphasized the need to address public concerns and better plan future developments. Mobile car wash businesses are exempt from the moratorium.

STORY 5: Industrial Park Coming to Ball Ground Highway Cherokee County has approved a 35.74-acre rezoning for a 150,000-square-foot industrial park near Ball Ground Highway and the Cherokee County Regional Airport. The development, by Ball Ground Business Park, LLC, will feature three 50,000-square-foot buildings and 411 parking spaces. Zoned as a "workplace center," it aligns with the county's vision for light industrial use. Access will be from Ball Ground Highway, with no entry via Allison Lane. Conditions include adding turn lanes per a traffic study and requiring another study if the site expands beyond 150,000 square feet. Zoning buffers will separate it from nearby agricultural properties.

We welcome back Dr. Jason Knight, an Associate Professor in Buffalo State's College of Government, Planning, and Philosophy. He recently published a report called "Developing Opportunity: Aligning Zoning with Affordable Housing Needs".

In this episode of New Frontiers, host Paul Johnson is joined by economist Elliott Pollack, columnist Bob Robb, and professor Henry Thompson to explore one of America's most urgent issues: housing affordability. Together, they dig into how city zoning laws, regulatory delays, and supply constraints have fueled a housing crisis – and why homelessness, economic stagnation, and unaffordability are all symptoms of a deeper policy failure.Through compelling analysis, real-world examples, and expert commentary, the panel discusses Arizona's unique housing landscape and how it reflects national trends. With bipartisan legislative efforts gaining momentum, the episode explores whether change can happen at the city level – or if it must come from the state legislature to break through entrenched local resistance.Topics Discussed in This Video:- The Economic Truth About Supply and Demand: The panel dissects the basic economic principle that more housing supply leads to lower costs—and why some skeptics still resist this truth despite overwhelming data.- Zoning and Regulation: A Hidden Driver of the Crisis: Learn how local zoning restrictions, permitting delays, and aesthetic requirements are choking supply and pushing costs up—impacting everyone from essential workers to young families.- Homelessness: A Housing Problem?: The guests discuss research suggesting that a shortage of available homes, not just mental health or substance abuse, is a major driver of homelessness—and why a broader supply strategy may be the only scalable solution.- Who Holds the Power to Fix This?: While cities often resist reforms, the Arizona legislature has begun considering powerful, bipartisan measures to free the housing market. Will they succeed where local governments have stalled?- The Case for Home Ownership: Beyond economics, the panel emphasizes the social and cultural value of home ownership, showing how it can create financial stability, family roots, and long-term opportunity.

In today's episode, we're uncovering the three "bridesmaid" suburbs you need to keep an eye on here on the Gold Coast—those areas that haven't quite hit the spotlight yet but are on the cusp of serious transformation.

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by Nemo the Mormon to discuss a hot button issue in the McKinney Texas Temple scenario, the United Methodist Church Bell Tower ordinance. This issue is very easy to misunderstand so we take everyone carefully through the Fairview Town Council and Fairview Planning & Zoning Board meeting minutes step by step. Our hope to clarify the confusion and help everyone understand what actually happened with the United Methodist bell tower over the last 18 years. The LDS church seems to want to use this as precedence that would allow them to build a 173 ft tall steeple. In the simplest terms, while the town council back in the day did comment that they didn't have a problem with the belltower, they then would have followed the process to send the plan back to Planning & Zoning to work on issues related to codes like the height and decibel of the bells.Nothing was approved, nothing was signed with final signatures for height and decibel and the tower was never built. Eleven years later the Methodist church built a much smaller tower. (This episode originally aired last year but the "bell tower defense" continues to be used over and over by faithful Mormons. It's important to understand the truth.)Thank you so much for watching Mormonish Podcast!***How to DONATE to Mormonish Podcast: If you would like to help financially support our podcast, you can DONATE to support Mormonish Podcast here: Mormonish Podcast is a 501(c) (3) https://donorbox.org/mormonish-podcast ****WE HAVE MERCH! **** If you'd like to purchase Mormonish Merch, you can visit our Merch store here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/mormonishmerch We appreciate our Mormonish viewers and listeners so much!

Topics covered today: Navigating property inspections with Pete and Amy Purpose of this list is to not go into a property and check all 100 items, it's a guide for you to determine what's important/relevant for you -Inspections – private inspection or open home? Sometimes you only get one chance, and there may not a lot of time! -Take notes & videos (ask the agent) -Does it meet your brief? (if not - why are you there?) Property itself – building inspector does check a lot of things (dampness, roof, switchboard, appliances etc) understand this so you can focus on what's important to you   What can and can't you change? Location! Noise Natural light Size (yes and no) Aesthetics Storage Immediate vs future work Parking space/permit parking/traffic –can you fit in the car space? Is there a storage cage included? Make sure you get the right lot number!  Renovations (speak to your legal representative) & new structures, sleepout, decking, carports, open plumbing applications. Are they all approved & signed off? For apartments: Car space on title/storage cage Courtyard on title Common area Overlooking OC fees/minutes etc (can do this before/after inspection)      The local area: Can do this before/after the open: Zoning & overlays Planning permits, major works Local amenity School zones Streetscape Transmission lines Social housing And what about the ‘vibes?'

Mark and Dr. Joe delve into the complexities of the housing crisis, discussing the social and biological implications of housing, the impact of zoning laws, and the challenges posed by NIMBYism. They explore innovative solutions such as accessory dwelling units and the potential for repurposing office buildings into residential spaces. The conversation emphasizes the need to reframe perceptions of affordable housing and the importance of community involvement in addressing these issues. This episode was originally heard on Me & Dr. Joe Takeaways Housing is a fundamental need, essential for safety and community. Zoning laws significantly impact housing density and availability. NIMBYism can reflect a fear of change and loss of community identity. Innovative housing solutions can include repurposing existing structures. Affordable housing should be reframed to include essential community workers. Community engagement is crucial in addressing housing challenges. The biological response to housing changes can trigger resistance. Understanding the social domain can help mitigate housing issues. Legislation can mandate changes in housing policy for community benefit. Collaboration and open dialogue are key to finding housing solutions.

Neither candidate secured over 50% in the February primary. Key voter concerns include zoning, transportation, and LGBTQ+ rights. Early voting runs through March 7 at two locations, with Election Day on March 11. The winner will face Republican Alicia Adams on April 28. The election redo, ordered after a court ruling on district maps, could cost taxpayers $1.5 million. STORY 2: Cobb to Consider Gas Station, Drive-Thru on Austell Road The Cobb County Planning Commission will review a proposal for a gas station, convenience store, retail spaces, and a drive-thru restaurant on Austell Road near Pat Mell Road. The 3.83-acre site will replace an existing water damage recovery business with two new buildings: a 5,000-square-foot convenience store with eight fuel stations and attached retail spaces, and a 2,200-square-foot fast-food restaurant. The convenience store will operate 24/7, while other spaces will run 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Zoning staff supports the plan, recommending a 20-foot landscape buffer and lighting plans to protect nearby residential areas. STORY 3: Cobb and Douglas Public Health wants to expand services, but federal funding has grown more uncertain Lisa Crossman, deputy director of Cobb and Douglas Public Health, is focused on improving health services in South Cobb, where many residents lack insurance, healthy food options, and mental health resources. Plans include a $17.5 million health center offering services like cancer screenings, mental health care, and a food pantry. Federal funding delays, including $3 million from Sen. Jon Ossoff, threaten the project’s timeline. Local nonprofits like Sweetwater Mission and the Center for Family Resources support the initiative, emphasizing its importance for underserved residents. Crossman is seeking alternative funding to avoid significant delays, aiming for a 2026 opening. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

STORY 5: High Court Upholds Conviction of Mableton Murderer The Georgia Supreme Court upheld the murder conviction of David Nesbit, who fatally shot Gregory Gabriel during a 2020 altercation at a Mableton gas station. Nesbit initiated the dispute, firing the first shot, while Gabriel, unable to flee, was struck twice and later died. Nesbit fled the scene but was arrested over a week later, indicted in 2021, and sentenced to 35 years in 2022. His appeal for a new trial, citing ineffective counsel and alleged prosecutorial misconduct, was denied, with the Supreme Court affirming the conviction on Tuesday.

The Waldos aim to foster community and share their passion for wine, with plans to expand in the future. The grand opening includes live music, food, and wine giveaways. Visit www.divinelyelegantvines.com for details. STORY 7: Georgia Senate Republicans pass religious freedom law, raising concerns about discrimination The Georgia Senate passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (SB 36) on Tuesday in a 32-23 party-line vote. The bill requires courts to prioritize religious customs in disputes unless there’s a “compelling government interest.” Proponents, like Sen. Ed Setzler, argue it protects religious rights, citing cases from other states. Critics, including Sen. RaShaun Kemp, warn it could enable discrimination against LGBTQ individuals and others, as the bill lacks anti-discrimination protections. Similar legislation was vetoed in 2016 due to backlash from civil rights groups and businesses. SB 36 now heads to the Georgia House for consideration.

In this episode of Most Podern, Alex Yuen, Minkoo Kang, and Libo Li sit down with historian and The Atlantic's deputy executive editor Yoni Appelbaum to discuss his new book, Stuck: How the Privileged and the Property Broke the Engine of American Opportunity. They explore how America's once-thriving culture of geographic and economic mobility has been stifled by restrictive zoning laws, exclusionary policies, and fear of change—making it harder for people to move and prosper. Yoni traces the history of zoning, from its origins to its role in today's housing crisis, and outlines three key solutions: standardizing zoning laws, legalizing diverse housing types, and embracing housing abundance. The conversation dives into the broader societal consequences of stagnation and why restoring mobility is crucial for a more America's future.LinksRead “Stuck”https://www.yoniappelbaum.com/https://x.com/YAppelbaumKeywordsUrban mobility, Housing crisis, Zoning laws, Single-family zoning, Affordable housing, Yoni Appelbaum, Stuck book, The Atlantic, Urban development, Housing policy, Economic mobility, Social mobility, NIMBY vs YIMBY, Housing affordability, Zoning reform, Urban planning, Gentrification, Real estate policy, Progressive housing policy, American citiesChapters00:00 The American Dream and Housing Ideals17:37 Generational Perspectives on Community Engagement20:12 The Impact of Mobility on Society22:57 Community Concerns vs. Housing Needs25:43 Mobility as a Fundamental Right28:16 Balancing Individual Agency and Community30:43 Proposed Solutions for Housing Challenges34:47 The Challenge of Change36:37 Learning from Global Examples38:40 The Role of Local Communities43:06 Shifting Mindsets on Growth47:35 The Importance of Mobility53:09 Reflections on the Current Era

City of Knoxville Planning and Zoning Administrator Nathan Parch discusses the planning and zoning department and upcoming projects.

A defining feature of America from its inception has been physical mobility. And that physical mobility has been the engine of social mobility. But we've seen a great deal of economic and social sclerosis over the past few decades. Our guest this week has studied how, for many people, America has ceased to be the land of opportunity. Yoni Appelbaum is a deputy executive editor of The Atlantic and a social and cultural historian of the U.S. He joins WITHpod to discuss how the idea of mobility has changed within the last century, how things might become less “stuck” and more.

Moses Kagan has a unique take on real estate development and investing – and he's influenced my thinking substantially over the past couple of years.He is a highly successful syndicator, investor and developer with over $200 million in assets under management. He runs Adaptive Realty, having renovated over 100 multi-family buildings in Los Angeles, managing them in-house while specializing in the "indefinite hold” strategy for long-term wealth building.He is the Co-Founder of ReSeed, a platform offering long-term GP and LP capital, along with mentorship for emerging real estate operators nationwide.  He also hosts Reconvene, a highly regarded annual “unconference” for real estate operators and passive investors to connect and share knowledge. I attended last year, and it was awesome!And lastly, he is a Twitter personality and avid blogger, sharing valuable insights on real estate and business. I highly recommend you follow him.This is an excellent conversation about practical investment and real estate development philosophy, and I hope this conversation has as big of an impact on you as meeting Moses has on me!TAKEAWAYSHolding real estate indefinitely often leads to better investment outcomes than IRR-driven flipping.Traditional real estate models incentivize risky short-term decisions, while sustainable strategies benefit both investors and communities.Investors should focus on post-tax returns rather than pre-tax IRR, as tax considerations play a crucial role in long-term profitability.Wealthy families and patient capital partners are more aligned with indefinite hold strategies than institutional investors.Unlevered yield on cost and all-in price per square foot are key financial indicators for long-term real estate success.Building direct relationships and trust at scale is essential for securing capital, especially for indefinite hold investments.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction to Real Estate Development Philosophy06:06 Understanding IRR and Its Implications11:55 The Importance of Long-Term Thinking in Real Estate17:59 Finding the Right Investors for Long-Term Strategies25:50 Investing with Wealthy Families and Professional Money Managers40:20 Understanding Capitalization and Investor Liquidity46:11 Building Trust and Relationships in Real Estate Investment55:41 Building Trust at Scale in Real Estate58:01 The Democratization of Capital Raising01:04:29 New Urbanism and Walkable Neighborhoods01:06:00 Challenges of Ground-Up Development01:09:03 Zoning and Building Code Challenges01:11:57 The Impact of Bureaucracy on Development01:14:07 Introducing ReSeed: Supporting Emerging Operators01:17:08 The Importance of Community in Real EstateCONNECT WITH MOSESX:https://x.com/moseskagan?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moses-kagan-2638ab2/Adaptive Realty: https://www.adaptiverealty.com/ ReSeed: https://reseedpartners.com/Moses Newsletter: https://kagansblog.com/blog/MENTIONED RESOURCESThe Fort Podcast Interview on ReSeed: https://www.thefortpod.com/videos/moses-kagan-rhett-bennett-co-founders-of-reseed-partners-the-y-combinator-for-re-operators/CONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter:https://playbook.buildingculture.com/https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/https://twitter.com/build_culturehttps://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/

Bakari Brooks, president and CEO of Brooks Built Homes, joins host Carol Morgan for this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. In this podcast segment, Brooks shines a light on how Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta is fighting the Atlanta affordable housing crisis. Brooks Built Homes is a metro Atlanta homebuilder mainly focused on custom single-family homes and some multi-family developments. Still, Brooks said he looks forward to securing some larger-scale projects this year. Theme-based communities and active adult living are just a few ideas that Brooks Built Homes plans to add to the Atlanta market. He emphasizes the core values of Brooks Built Homes – quality, honesty and integrity. The Atlanta homebuilder also relies on referrals versus advertising, establishing a personal feel and trust that blossoms from word-of-mouth recommendations. Brooks also serves as a chairman for Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta. In his role, he has already implemented many new programs and initiatives to reach lower-income individuals in Cobb, Douglas and Paulding counties, including the 40 for 40 campaign to celebrate the organization's 40th anniversary in 2026. What is the Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta 40 For 40 Campaign? The 40 For 40 campaign is still in the planning stages, but a few key moves are being discussed. Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta will update its home design to reflect a more modern aesthetic. Brooks points out the stigmatism of “not in my backyard” that must be worked around to ensure that residents feel comfortable and secure in their communities. The current home design is a bit dated, so the organization is working diligently to create a new one. “I believe if you change the design, and you make it appealing and desirable, then the local community, the neighbors, are going to say, ‘Hey, I want to live in a house like that,'” said Brooks. “And then all of a sudden, you can easily create these communities. So, getting a modern design that really integrates into current standards is critical.” Brooks wants to change how the organization raises money for home sponsorships. Instead of relying on single sponsorships, one family, one home, he explains that pooling sponsorship funds creates more funding opportunities. There is a need for private-sector development partnerships. Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Metro Atlanta plans to establish relationships with local developers with experience in large-scale communities. “The reality is that successful large-scale home builders have already figured out the recipe for building communities,” said Brooks. “Don't need to reinvent the wheel; we just need to tap into that experience, into that skill set, access the resources to realize our goal of building more affordable homes.” What challenges are facing the affordable housing crisis in Atlanta? The cost of land and building materials contribute to the affordable housing crisis in Atlanta, making it difficult to serve the growing number of applicants for Habitat for Humanity housing. Habitat for Humanity of Northwest Georgia is 100% volunteer labor and averages $165,000 per home. The organization currently builds 10 homes a year, but even with the 40 For 40 campaign around the corner, there is still some concern about serving enough individuals. “We had 1,000 applicants for 10 houses, so think about that,” said Brooks. “And out of that 1,000, only 64 met the qualifications to be placed into a Habitat Home Ownership Program, not because they weren't in need, they just were in the greatest amount of need.” The model for lowering home prices seems simple, but it is complicated by government regulations and other factors. Brooks explains that you “lower the cost of dirt, increase density, and the cost of the home is going to fall.” There is also a need for smaller homes that homebuyers can afford.

In 2021, Massachusetts signed a law requiring communities that are served by the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) to legalize multifamily housing development near MBTA transit stations. Recently, a state court ruled that the state has the authority to sue cities and towns that don't comply. In this episode of Upzoned, Abby and Chuck discuss whether that's a good idea, the broader trend of states intervening in city zoning practices, and how the root issue is actually poor transportation investment practices.

Why are European cities charming and American cities often so charmless? Simple, says urbanist Alain Bertaud: most American cities are zoned for single-family housing. The result is not enough customers within walking distance of a business, and not enough parking for the customers who drive. Why American cities are zoned that way is related to culture and history. Hear Bertaud and EconTalk's Russ Roberts talk about urban problems and how to solve them--not through urban design or planning, but by respecting what makes each place unique.
