• Why North Fulton Can't Build a $400,000 Home Anymore (businessradiox.com) — Housing costs across North Fulton, including Johns Creek, are making it nearly impossible to build homes in the $350,000 to $500,000 range that once served local workers and families. Regional leaders discuss how scarce land, teardowns, and redevelopment are driving prices toward $2 million, why cities must collaborate on workforce housing, and how upcoming transit projects along Georgia 400 could shape where future employees live.
