Guest Column: New zoning approach needed for housing

Northern Virginia continues to be one of the fastest growing areas in the United States. Despite federal job losses from DOGE over the past two years, our region is set to return to positive job growth by the end of 2026. A little over 2.6 million people are living in the area right now, and that number is expected to climb to over 3 million in the next few years. This growth has bolstered the local economy but has also created a significant challenge – especially around the cost of housing. The most recent Virginia Joint Legislative Audit & Review Commission report shows that the Northern Virginia region needs over 60,000 new affordable housing units to support growing industries in manufacturing, healthcare and information technology. Organizations like the Northern Virginia Affordable Housing Alliance, Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce and others have warned that this gap in affordable housing units risks business growth opportunities that would directly lead to slower economic output. We know that the problem exists, but the only way to solve it is through additional data and regional cooperation. It is important to understand that decisions related to housing cannot be made in a vacuum. We know that

Dill-icious: How pickle humor grew Mount Olive Pickle sales - Today in History

A daily look at some of The News & Observer’s headlines on Nov. 14 in past years. On this day in 1976, The News & Observer published a story in which Mount Olive Pickle Co. President John Walker described how his company sold pickle-shaped soap, pickle-themed T-shirts and squeaky pickle toys to make people laugh — and increase sales. The business, which formed in 1926, had 25 million jars of pickle products annually across 20 states and made up about two-thirds of pickle sales in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. “I don’t think there’s any question that this has helped our sales,” Walker said of the merch. “There’s just something funny about pickles, so we’ve got to make it a plus for us.” Walker’s 1,000 pickle brine tanks and a witty sense of humor helped North Carolina become one of the nation’s largest cucumber producers. At the time, the company had sales of more than $10 million a year. Walker said he delighted in learning that people learned about his town, the brand’s namesake, from his company’s pickles.
