Everybody says we need more housing, but very few people understand how housing actually gets built or why it is so hard to get new neighborhoods approved in the first place.I sat down with Brandon Cobb to talk through what really happens before the first house ever goes up. We got into zoning meetings, community resistance, and why so many people are fighting growth without fully understanding the consequences.If you are a REALTOR®, community leader, or just someone trying to make sense of what is happening in your area, this conversation will give you a clearer picture of how development really works and why the system feels so stuck.We also unpack the real gap in the market, especially for entry level housing, and why the very things people push back on, like density, might actually be part of the solution.
