💡Episode Summary:
What if the secret to solving the housing crisis isn’t more land but smarter design?
In this episode of Builder Buzz, Quinton Comino sits down with Greg Burke, architect, zoning expert, and housing advocate, to unpack the pushback, politics, and potential of creating walkable, livable communities through “missing middle” housing. From Vero Beach to Saint Augustine, Greg has navigated every stage of community development, seeing firsthand how fear often fuels resistance to change.
Greg dives into what “attainable housing” really means, why density can create charm instead of chaos, and how Florida’s evolving planning process can balance growth with character. He also shares his thoughts on Home Nation’s innovative “Mod Pod” prefab core concept—and why hybrid modular + site-built models could be the real key to cost-effective construction.
