Podcasts about Zoning

Zoning debates across metro Atlanta are becoming more complex as communities wrestle with growth, housing affordability and neighborhood opposition. Developers navigating today's approval process must balance strong housing demand with increased public scrutiny and evolving local policies. Michèle L. Battle, president of Battle Law, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss how zoning approvals and community expectations are reshaping development across Georgia. Georgia's Zoning Landscape Is Becoming More Complex Over the past 20 years, zoning approvals in metro Atlanta have become more challenging. Rapid population growth across the region contributes to increased housing demand and intensifies scrutiny of new projects. “When I first got into zoning law, it was really a period of growth that was happening in the metro Atlanta area,” said Battle. “But communities and government officials have become more and more sophisticated in how they are approaching zoning-related matters.” Many jurisdictions now rely on detailed, comprehensive plans and land-use strategies to guide development, limiting flexibility once a proposal reaches the zoning stage. At the same time, residents are more engaged in the process and more willing to voice concerns about density, design and neighborhood impact. As cities and counties refine long-term plans and respond to resident feedback, developers often encounter fewer flexible options and more extensive negotiations before receiving approval. Community Resistance and Housing Affordability Community opposition — often referred to as “Not in My Backyard” (NIMBY) — plays a significant role in zoning hearings today. Residents frequently raise concerns about density, traffic and school capacity while still hoping to attract new retail and restaurants to their communities. “Most of the communities don't want housing,” said Battle. “What they want are the amenities that go with the housing.” Retail and restaurant development typically follows population growth, but opposition to new housing can limit the density needed to support those businesses. Affordability sits at the center of many zoning debates as construction costs continue to rise and buyers struggle to keep up with higher home prices. Many Atlanta homeowners purchased their properties decades ago at far lower prices. Today's first-time homebuyers face a dramatically different market. “Our children can't buy a house because they can't afford a $400,000 home,” said Battle. “And if we want them out of our houses, we have to figure out how to build something they can buy.” Social Media and AI Are Influencing Zoning Battles Technology is accelerating the formation of public opinion around development proposals. Projects can gain attention online long before developers formally present them to planning commissions or local officials. Artificial intelligence is also beginning to appear in zoning hearings in unexpected ways. “I've now been at hearings where it is very clear that people are getting up to the podium and reading straight off an AI script,” said Battle. “They'll ask AI what the opposition would be to this project and then read two or three pages of information.” While technology has increased public engagement, it has also contributed to misinformation about development and housing economics. Litigation Isn't Always the Best Path Zoning disputes sometimes lead to lawsuits, but most developers prefer negotiation and compromise. Court battles can delay projects for months or even years while adding significant legal costs and uncertainty. “I pride myself on trying to win my cases so that I don't have to send them to all the amazing litigators that I know.” Even when developers prevail in court, the decision often sends the project back through the same local approval process that sparked the dispute. That reality reinforces the value of addressing concerns early with local officials and residents rather than relying on litigation. Three Steps Developers Should Take Before Filing Rezoning Developers can take several proactive steps before filing a rezoning application: Meet with planning departments to understand expectations and review recent cases Meet with the elected official representing the district to discuss development priorities Engage the surrounding community early in the process Battle emphasizes that the key to a successful new development is “communication, communication and more communication” to prevent unnecessary scrutiny. Consistency and Predictability in Zoning Codes A lack of predictability remains one of the biggest challenges developers face in the zoning process. Local governments often approve rezonings but attach numerous conditions that extend beyond existing ordinances. In some cases, those conditions even contradict the zoning code itself. Battle said, “I should be able to come in and apply for R-3 or R-5 or whatever it is and not have to worry about you putting 15 conditions on me that go outside of what you've put in your zoning code.” Greater consistency helps developers make informed investment decisions and reduce uncertainty in the entitlement process. Addressing Tensions Around Growth and Equity Battle also pointed to ongoing tension surrounding development patterns across metro Atlanta. In some communities, residents believe they are not receiving the same level of investment or housing quality as in other areas. Many of these concerns stem from misunderstandings about development economics, construction costs and housing pricing. Battle believes that greater transparency around how housing is financed, built and priced could help communities better understand the challenges developers face and the constraints shaping today's housing market.

Food, Community, and Third Spaces with Michael Zarick (Third Space Indy) Host Chris Whonsetler welcomes Michael Zarick of Third Space Indy to the Okayest Cook podcast to continue a conversation on community and “third spaces” as places outside home and work that foster consistent connection and conversation. Michael shares notable meals from a new food-focused project with Amanda Gibson featuring Indianapolis restaurants Macizo and Wisanggeni Pawon, emphasizing owner stories and kitchen access, while Chris highlights a Greenfield coffee shop, Hitherto, filled with board games and game nights. They discuss why third spaces matter amid isolation, COVID-era habits, and phone-driven convenience, and how car-centric infrastructure, zoning, and suburban design discourage spontaneous community compared with pub culture and transit-rich cities. Michael describes merchandise plans (locally made mugs) intended to get people into local businesses, recalls Pizzeria Ruby in northwest Arkansas as a personal third space, and cites Flanner House's Flanner Farms and Cleo's Bodega addressing food access. They also touch on roller rinks, walking, bus riding, and Michael's ideal model: Abby Reckard's forthcoming Lille Bønne community space in a rezoned Dutch church.

What if your best real estate deal finder isn't Zillow—but your town's planning board meeting? In this episode of the Massive Passive Cash Flow Podcast, Gary Wilson sits down with Dr. Jordan Romano—physician, investor, and hyperlocal real estate strategist. Jordan shares how he built a multi-property portfolio in New Hampshire by studying zoning meetings, analyzing parcel maps with Google Earth, and understanding seasonal buying patterns in a college and medical town. Instead of chasing trends, Jordan focused on gaining an information advantage: buying discounted properties in the off-season, sourcing deals through FSBO listings, and targeting B-class rentals that stay resilient across market cycles. He also explains why understanding local tenant laws, planning board decisions, and major employers like hospitals and universities can dramatically improve your investment strategy. Key Takeaways: Why hyperlocal research can uncover deals others miss How planning board meetings and zoning data reveal future development Why B-class rentals can be the most stable investment lane How renting to medical professionals and stable industries protects cash flow Why the best strategy isn't chasing markets—it's mastering one market deeply If you're looking to build long-term wealth through buy-and-hold real estate, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can start applying today.

What is a master planned community, and how do zoning and entitlements create real estate value?In this special 200th episode of the Alternative Investing Advantage Podcast, Alex Perny sits down with Ari Rastegar of Rastegar Capital to break down how developers turn raw land into high-value communities through zoning, entitlements, and master planning.Ari shares how his team assembled and rezoned a large land site near Austin, Texas, and why entitlement risk can create extraordinary value before construction ever starts. They discuss why major institutions often cannot buy land until it is entitled, how community support influences approvals, and why timing can make or break a project. Ari also explains the real downside of development: years of permitting, shifting decision-makers, rising carry costs, and the sheer amount of effort required to get a project over the finish line.If you want to understand how developers create alpha in real estate—beyond buying and renovating existing properties—this episode lays out the process, the risks, and the payoff.00:00 Episode #200 intro + Ari Rastegar joins01:53 Ari's background and how he got into entitlements04:30 Why fast-growing cities need master planning07:40 How rezoning creates value before construction09:12 Why zoning is “alpha,” not “beta”11:40 Due diligence, community support, and entitlement risk17:08 Real estate is about people, not just buildings20:50 Grassroots outreach and winning local buy-in24:33 Timing risk: being too early vs too late28:10 The real pain: time, permits, and uncertainty31:34 When decision-makers change mid-process34:43 Carry costs, debt, and moving parts37:12 Why the work can be deeply fulfilling38:25 Horizontal development vs going vertical42:07 Building vertically integrated real estate businesses45:16 Housing demand and why supply can't keep up49:52 Innovation in building: prefab, robotics, and 3D printing50:40 Where to find Ari Rastegar + closingSubscribe to our YouTube channel and join our growing community for new videos every week.If you are interested in being a podcast guest speaker or have questions, contact us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast@AdvantaIRA.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Learn more about our guest, Ari Rastegar:https://rastegarcapital.com/articles/meet-ari-rastegar/Learn more about Advanta IRA: https://www.AdvantaIRA.com/ https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/advanta-irahttps://www.linkedin.com/company/Advanta-IRA/https://twitter.com/AdvantaIRA https://www.facebook.com/AdvantaIRA/ https://www.instagram.com/AdvantaIRA/#RealEstateDevelopment #Zoning #Entitlements #MasterPlannedCommunities #LandDevelopment #CommercialRealEstate #Multifamily #BuildForRent #HousingShortage #AlternativeInvesting

Stella Maria Baer is a Santa Fe–based painter whose work is deeply rooted in land, light, and place. Known for her luminous depictions of moons, desert skies, horses, and wide-open Southwestern landscapes, Stella often makes her own pigments by hand—grinding rocks, dirt, and minerals into paint that quite literally contains the places she portrays. In addition to her studio practice, she teaches intimate workshops on natural pigment painting for land-based artists on her New Mexico property, creating space for people to reconnect with their creativity, their hands, and the earth itself. Stella grew up in New Mexico in a family of artists—her mother was a weaver, her grandfather a photographer, her grandmother a sculptor—and spent summers on a Wyoming ranch that shaped her lifelong love of horses and open country. Though art was always around her, she initially pursued religion and philosophy, studying questions of desire, goodness, and the inherent value of land. Painting began not as a career move but as a private, prayerful practice—drawing birds in journals to quiet a busy mind. Over time, that contemplative discipline evolved into a full-time vocation, one that ultimately drew her back home to New Mexico after years on the East Coast, where she had found herself painting the desert from memory and longing. In this conversation, we talk about that journey—from philosophy classrooms and sacred poetry to moon paintings and hand-ground pigments. Stella shares how critique shaped her work in unexpected ways, how motherhood has influenced both her art and her priorities, and the powerful story behind rescuing her horses from kill pens—animals that now carry deep personal meaning connected to her late mother. We also discuss the importance of play, silence, and being a beginner in a screen-saturated world. Stella rarely does interviews, so I'm especially grateful for her willingness to sit down and speak so thoughtfully and authentically about her life and work. It's a reflective conversation about creativity, land, faith, and following one's unique artistic curiosity. I feel like Stella and I only scratched the surface of her curiosity, land ethic, and artistic journey, so I'll look forward to having her back for another conversation in the future. But for now, I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did. --- Stella Maria Baer Moon Horse Ranch Full episode notes and links: https://mountainandprairie.com/stella --- THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS: Mountain & Prairie is listener supported via Patreon, and brought to you with support from the Central Grasslands Roadmap, The Nature Conservancy in Colorado, North Bridger Bison, and the Old Salt Co-op for their generous sponsorship. --- TOPICS DISCUSSED: 0:00 - Intro and sponsor highlight 7:50 - Stella's origin story 12:00 - Art in Stella's childhood 14:35 - Zoning in and drawing birds 19:39 - Religion and philosophy degrees 21:58 - Wendell Berry and the Bible 25:07 - Responding to critiques 27:42 - New Mexico love 33:01 - Why moons? 36:07 - Importance of play 44:12 - How having kids changed things 50:54 - Stella's horses 55:28 - Stella's workshops 1:02:08 - Book recs 1:06:00 - Wrapping up --- ABOUT MOUNTAIN & PRAIRIE: Mountain & Prairie - All Episodes Mountain & Prairie Shop Mountain & Prairie on Instagram Upcoming Events About Ed Roberson Leave a Review on Apple Podcasts

We've led the way in reporting the NDP's attempts to impose a "safe consumption" facility in Winnipeg - and the questions posed by residents to City Council about its responsibility to address concerns about public safety in the targetted neighborhoods. In Episode 8, Transcona councillor Russ Wyatt provides his views on Council's role, the shortcomings of the Province's 'harm reduction' approach, and why City officials are obliged to step into the fray and not turn away.5.44 Part 2- With personal, lived experience with addiction and recovery, Russ Wyatt didn't hesitate to agree that Winnipeg council has to ask the NDP government to specifically exclude youth under 18 from utilizing the SCS proposed for 366 Henry Avenue. (See- NDP under fire for allowing minors at drug consumption site)He addresses the broader issues about overall government policy- "when it comes to mental health and addiction, you might as well call us Mississippi Manitoba, because we're not only one of the poorest provinces in Confederation today, when it comes to health care, it seems we're kind of the most backward as well."Wyatt believes that the Wab Kinew government needs to look towards the model implemented in Alberta, that prioritizes prevention, detox facilities, rural healing centres, court-ordered rehabilitation and private-sector participation. "You put a plan in place for the over-all healing to start." He criticizes the layout of the sobering centre on Disraeli and says the addictions file "should almost be taken away from Shared Health" because that bureaucracy has an "ass-backwards" approach to mental health, with addicts seeking help facing long waits to get into recovery programs. 19.40 Part 3- Coun. Wyatt sees similarities between the NDP's intention to drop a drug user site into North Logan/Point Douglas, and the controversy 20 years ago about a plan for a hog processing plant in his Transcona ward. In the present day, he's concerned that city planners aren't doing their job and are "more concerned about how to establish a bike path or how to take Graham Avenue out of circulation for downtown traffic."Wyatt calls for intervenor funding for the neighborhood groups "to research and double-check our facts and bring their own experts to the table" and there should be a hearing process. "Zoning has fallen behind but that doesn't prevent the area councillor (Vivian Santos) to start moving motions and raising the issue" instead of "leaving it at the Province... she can get a legal opinion on behalf of the residents to challenge that.""There's nothing preventing a member of Executive Policy Committee like Vivian Santos, or the Mayor, from sending this off to the Director of Planning Hazel Borys and asking her to look into this ... they're not blind to what's happening out in the community right now, they can read the same newspapers I'm reading."Wyatt added that "there's nothing preventing the residents also from approaching the public service and saying "where are you professionally on this issue. You're the ones who are supposed to be looking over the whole zoning regimen of the city."""It comes down to political courage and the willingness to represent your community," Wyatt asserts. "I think the resident's concerns are legitimate, that they should be taken seriously, and the local representatives - at every level of government - should be working with them to address their concerns."****Today in the Winnipeg Sun - Coun.

Growth may be booming across Georgia, yet getting new housing approved often feels like running an obstacle course designed by politics, not policy. Simon Bloom, founding partner of Bloom Parham LLP, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to pull back the curtain on the zoning battles shaping what gets built, where and at what cost. During this episode on “Unbridled Politics,” he will discuss the political and procedural challenges shaping zoning and land use in Georgia. Drawing on decades of experience representing builders and developers, he explains why projects often get caught in red tape, why build-to-rent (BTR) housing is targeted and how Georgia's fragmented local government contributes to inefficiency and higher housing costs. How Politics and Public Input Affect Development Bloom emphasized that zoning decisions in Georgia are driven less by technical merit than by politics: “If a politician or public official wants your project, it’s going to go forward,” said Bloom. “And if he or she doesn’t, it isn’t. The merits sometimes get lost in just a matter of pure politics.” Developers face a range of hurdles, from rezoning denials to conditional-use permits and administrative slowdowns. Routine actions, such as delaying final plats or withholding building permits, can derail projects entirely. Litigation is sometimes necessary, not as a first resort, but to ensure local governments follow proper procedures. Public opposition adds another layer of complexity. Organized neighborhood groups and homeowners now have unprecedented access to local meetings through streaming platforms and social media. While this transparency increases accountability, it can also make officials more cautious, further complicating development efforts. Why Build-to-Rent Projects Face Extra Hurdles Build-to-rent (BTR) projects face particular scrutiny, even as the demand for affordable rental housing continues to grow. “The cities and counties that say they need affordable housing are doing everything in their power to make it unaffordable and causing gentrification,” said Bloom. “They are driving the folks that they want to be living in their communities out into ‘the sticks.'” Part of the paradox lies in administrative inefficiencies and local mandates that increase cost and complexity. For example, some counties require side-entry garages in high-density developments—a design choice that increases lot sizes and, in turn, raises prices for buyers and renters. Add to that the need for detailed engineering studies, repeated public hearings and permit fees, and BTR builders and developers face substantial “chase costs” long before construction begins. Legislative solutions to streamline zoning and clarify local requirements have progressed slowly. Efforts to limit local control over architectural standards or to prevent bans on BTR have made modest gains. State lawmakers often consider input from local governments, which influences the pace and scope of reforms. Meanwhile, impact fees—sometimes adding thousands of dollars to individual projects—remain a factor that can increase costs and create differences across communities. On a larger scale, Bloom identifies Georgia's large number of local governments as a source of inefficiency. The state has 159 counties and 500 cities, each with separate planning departments, zoning boards and codes. This patchwork of rules forces engineers, lawyers and developers to navigate vastly different requirements across municipalities, slowing housing production and driving up costs. Navigating the Zoning Landscape Bloom encourages builders and developers to engage early with district commissioners or council members and maintain transparent communication with neighbors and planning staff. Understanding how “district-friendly” voting works, where council members often follow the lead of their district commissioner, can help projects move forward more efficiently. Bloom said, “Without your district commissioner championing your rezoning, your chances of success are much lower.” Tune in to the full episode to hear Simon Bloom discuss how politics and local regulations shape Georgia housing zoning and to learn what builders and developers can do to navigate these challenges.

In this episode, we explore the strange signals people use to interpret global events, from Pentagon pizza orders and satellite data to the Big Mac Index and other unconventional measures of economic reality. We examine the decline of Google search, the rise of AI-powered alternatives, and why new tools are changing how people actually find information. For the “foolishness of the week”, we detail an unfortunate incident involving a piece of World War I artillery, before turning to a broader cultural debate about nostalgia for the 1950s. With guest Andrew Heaton, we unpack myths about work, gender roles, housing, healthcare, and prosperity, comparing mid-century life to modern standards of living. Along the way, we discuss food abundance, technological progress, wage compensation, inequality, and whether people genuinely want to return to the past or simply romanticize it from a distance. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:28 Pentagon Pizza Orders and “Pizza Intelligence” 02:51 Proxy Signals, Satellite Data, and the Waffle House Index 04:25 The Big Mac Index and Measuring Cost of Living 05:00 The Decline of Google Search and Sponsored Results 07:19 Switching Search Engines and the Myth of Google Monopoly 09:54 AI Search Tools and Why They Actually Work 11:28 Foolishness of the Week: World War I Artillery Incident 13:43 How Bad Ideas Escalate at Parties 15:51 Introducing Andrew Heaton 16:39 Was the 1950s a Time or a Place? 18:43 Economic Reality vs 1950s Nostalgia 20:58 Women's Work, Household Labor, and Misleading Myths 23:56 Food Costs, Eating Out, and Modern Abundance 25:46 Medicine, Lifespan, and Why 50s Healthcare Was Worse 27:57 Housing Size, Zoning, and the Cost of Homes 30:01 Cars, Air Conditioning, and Quality of Life Improvements 31:17 Mortgage Rates and Why Housing Feels Unaffordable Now 34:02 Manufacturing, Exports, and the “We Don't Make Anything” Myth 35:35 Agricultural Productivity and Modern Farming 37:19 Food Waste as a Measure of Prosperity 37:42 Great Depression Scarcity and Generational Habits 39:59 Transportation Costs and Higher Quality Modern Vehicles 42:50 Car Safety, Seatbelts, and Survival Rates 43:42 Wages, Benefits, and What “Compensation” Really Means 45:29 What the 1950s Actually Did Better 47:52 Inequality, Community, and Social Capital in the 50s 49:44 Technology, Isolation, and Choosing Modern Life 52:05 Longing for Silence from Technology 53:18 The Mythology of Happy Days Learn more about your ad choices.

Housing has become one of the most urgent—and complex—challenges facing economic developers today. In this episode of Develop This!, host Dennis Fraise sits down with Michael Mohrfeld, Owner and President of Mohrfeld Electric, Green Oak Development, Mohrfeld Solar, and a housing developer. Speaking candidly from a developer's perspective, Michael shares what it really takes to make housing projects work in small and mid-sized communities—and why so many well-intentioned plans never move from concept to construction. Drawing on his diverse portfolio across construction, real estate, energy, and community-focused development, Michael explains how housing challenges are deeply intertwined with workforce availability, zoning, financing, and local leadership. Dennis and Michael explore: Why housing is now a top economic development constraint The growing difficulty of delivering affordable and workforce housing How labor shortages in construction are impacting timelines and costs Regulatory and zoning hurdles that can stall or stop projects entirely The differences between new construction and renovation-based development Opportunities in both multifamily and single-family housing markets Why small communities must rely on local leadership—because "there's no cavalry coming" Key Takeaways Housing is one of the most critical issues facing economic developers Developers bring practical insight into what makes projects viable Small communities face unique housing and financing challenges Workforce shortages significantly affect construction feasibility Affordable housing is increasingly complex to build Zoning and regulatory processes can impede development New construction and renovation projects require different strategies Strong community leadership is essential for success Both multifamily and single-family housing present opportunities Local champions are key to driving meaningful progress

In this episode, Dr. K reframes “zoning out” as your brain's attempt to restore attention and reclaim cognitive bandwidth—not just a bad habit to eliminate. He explains how zoning out increases when you're tired, overwhelmed, bored, or carrying unresolved emotional stress, and uses a patient example (ADHD feeling like it's “getting worse”) to show how hidden mental load and emotional uncertainty can drain working memory. He introduces insights from attention restoration theory, then breaks down how multitasking and “just get started / take small steps” advice can backfire by keeping you stuck in constant task-switching. The takeaway is a productivity reset: prioritize finishing tasks, reduce multitasking, and deliberately schedule true non-productive time so your brain can process internal problems instead of forcing them to surface during work. Topics covered include: Why zoning out happens and how it restores “cognitive RAM” How unresolved emotional stress increases distraction and task-switching Attention Restoration Theory and why nature/rest can replenish focus Why “just get started” + multitasking can sabotage productivity Practical fixes: focus on task completion, minimize multitasking, and plan real downtime HG Coaching : https://bit.ly/46bIkdo Dr. K's Guide to Mental Health: https://bit.ly/44z3Szt HG Memberships : https://bit.ly/3TNoMVf Products & Services : https://bit.ly/44kz7x0 HealthyGamer.GG: https://bit.ly/3ZOopgQ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The YM Show, we sit down with Daniel Gibbons, founder of G6 Development, to break down an incredibly real and inspiring journey through construction, entrepreneurship, and real estate.Daniel didn't start at the top. He began doing labor work for a construction company, worked his way into an electrical apprenticeship, and spent 13 years working with FPL, mastering his trade. Through patience, discipline, and calculated risk-taking, he pushed through setbacks and eventually began building homes of his own.Today, Daniel has built well over 100 homes, owns income-producing rental properties, operates his own construction and development company, and has achieved financial freedom through real estate.In this conversation, we cover: • Starting from humble beginnings in construction labor • Apprenticeships, skill-building, and long-term patience • Transitioning from tradesman to builder and developer • Using rental properties to create financial freedom • Lessons learned from building 100+ homes • What it really takes to grow in real estate and developmentThis episode is a must-watch for anyone in the trades, construction, or real estate who wants to see what's possible with discipline, consistency, and vision.⸻YouTube Chapters (Timestamps)00:00 – From Framing Houses to Becoming a Developer02:30 – Working Hurricanes & Blue-Collar Jobs to Get Ahead05:15 – Making $120K W-2… and Still Feeling Stuck07:45 – Selling the Nice Car to Change His Life10:05 – First Rental Ever: $20K Lot + Mobile Homes12:40 – Mobile Home Costs: Pre-COVID vs Today15:10 – Using a Private Lender for the First Deal17:30 – Finding Tenants & Creating First Cash Flow19:55 – Scaling Rentals While Working Full-Time22:30 – Getting the General Contractor (GC) License25:10 – Quitting the Job & Going All-In27:45 – Disaster Work That Changed Everything30:10 – Doing $1M+ in Renovations in the First Year32:40 – Reinvesting Profits vs Lifestyle Inflation35:05 – Buying Off-Market Land & Building Duplexes37:45 – Building 12 Units in Under 4 Months (Real Numbers)40:15 – Construction Loans vs Permanent Financing42:40 – Land, Zoning & Entitlements Explained45:05 – What Cities Want (And How to Work With Them)47:10 – Cap Rates, Cash Flow & Underwriting Deals49:30 – Advice for Young Guys With Limited Capital51:10 – “The Only Thing Stopping You Is You”⸻

San Francisco could see taller and more dense buildings in the city's north and west side after the Board of Supervisors approved Mayor Daniel Lurie's ‘Family Zoning' plan last week.  Some believe it will lead to more housing and lower rents, while others worry that new construction will change their neighborhoods and lead to displacement. But how soon — and how much — could it really change the city?  Links: San Francisco Supervisors Pass Rezoning Plan, Making Way for Taller, Denser Housing Learn more about your ad choices.
