This was fun. 2% of the public trust property developers (according to some) I haven’t met many developers who loved the planners. And I’m sure that cuts both ways. Solving for the productivity crisis in our built environment is a mammoth challenge. We all need to work together and overcome these stereotypes if we’re going to deliver the quality homes and infrastructure our society needs. My company is small and our development is tiny. But it hasn’t stopped us from running the best community engagement program we know how to run. We’ve knocked on doors, we’ve invited locals to meetings, we’ve sat with them and we’ve showed them our plans and our heart. Property developers have a reputation as ruthless profiteers. I know a hundred. Not one of them is like that. Building homes is a noble calling. It is as critical as education, healthcare, justice and the rest. I’m not calling for a clap for developers. We don’t need it. We’ll get on with doing the job come rain or shine. But I am calling for a more constructive meeting of minds between developers, legislators, planners, inspectors, the media and local communities. We cannot possibly please all the people all of the time. But we can engineer win win win scenarios. #planningdelayishousingdecay #justgettingstarted

Navigating Waller's zoning laws presents unique opportunities for mixed-use developments that blend residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. ⁠ ⁠ These regulations, designed to shape the town's growth, encourage developments that enhance community interaction and economic activity. ⁠ ⁠ For investors and developers, understanding and leveraging these zoning laws can unlock the potential for projects that meet Waller's vision for sustainable and integrated community development. ⁠ ⁠ Mixed-use projects not only cater to the demands of modern living but also drive local economies by creating vibrant, multifunctional spaces where people can live, work, and play.⁠ ⁠ #realty #property #newconstruction #propertyinvestment #properties #propertydevelopment #tx #success #houston #localbusiness

This is a great quote from a new writeup by a local planner, Elizabeth Ward Williams -- it challenges us to reconsider what a ‘traditional neighborhood’ is in an urban context: “We need a land use that allows for Traditional Neighborhood Uses: single-family homes, duplexes, small apartments, and small commercial uses like schools, offices and neighborhood retail. Things people can walk to! In our minds, these are the things that give a neighborhood character.” Well said! Complete neighborhoods should be the norm for cities, and they should be allowed by zoning. This is exactly the wisdom that needs to be presented in the Comprehensive Development Plan that’s underway for Atlanta.

The planning process is happening now. Find info on meetings here: https://lnkd.in/eWywkser
