A recent AJC op-ed from Abundant Housing Atlanta board member Dr. Florence LeCraw connects housing affordability to Atlantans' everyday experiences: long commutes, rising costs, and worsening traffic.

When nurses, teachers, service workers, and other essential workers can’t afford to live near their jobs, everyone feels the impact.

The article highlights why Atlantans should speak up for evidence-based zoning reform and get involved in local planning conversations to work toward a more affordable city. https://www.ajc.com/opinion/2026/04/rising-home-prices-and-worsening-traffic-show-why-workforce-housing-matters/

If you ask us, the biggest under-the-radar opportunity to improve housing in Atlanta is… Zoning 2.0. It’s a once-in-a-generation chance to get housing right.

When he took office, Mayor Dickens set an ambitious goal to create and preserve 20,000 affordable homes, and we’re HERE for it! But the current draft of Zoning 2.0 won’t deliver the homes Atlantans need.

Atlanta can lead on housing and remain a great place to live for all of us, if City Hall strengthens this proposal.

🚗➡️🏠 Did you know parking requirements can raise housing costs and contribute to more traffic and congestion?

Join Abundant Housing Atlanta for a webinar with the Parking Reform Network to learn:
• How parking mandates raise the cost of building housing
• What other cities are doing differently
• What Atlanta has proposed as part of the Zoning 2.0 rewrite – and what to watch for ahead

If we want more homes and better transportation options, parking policy matters.

📅 Wednesday, February 11 @ 6-7pm

In 2025, housing affordability was a top issue for Atlantans, and together, we turned that urgency into real progress. From thousands of letters sent to new homes unblocked and pro-housing leaders elected, this work happened because you showed up.

Thank you for lending your voice, your time, and your persistence to help build more housing and neighborhoods that are livable, welcoming, and attainable to longtime residents and newcomers alike.

We’re energized by what we accomplished together. Here’s to building even more momentum in 2026. ✨

Did you miss our zoning event? Experts from the National Zoning Atlas and Kronberg Urbanists + Architects broke down how Atlanta compares to similar cities. Key takeaway: zoning shapes almost everything around us!

📊A few stats folks can’t stop talking about:
• Atlanta has 268 zoning jurisdictions - about one for every 1,800 people. That’s ten times more than Charlotte, NC - and a lot of red tape.
• Off-street parking is required almost everywhere except the Beltline overlay and a few outer counties.
• Building ADUs is tough without financing options - up front costs are often $150K+.

🔥Zoning 2.0 was a hot topic, with another public comment period coming soon.

Reform in Atlanta keeps stalling because of confusion and internal politics. We’ve got work to do!
