Alpharetta to condemn more parcels for road project By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. –– The Alpharetta City Council voted unanimously Jan. 3 to pursue eminent domain for condemnation of three properties along McGinnis Ferry Road for a multi-million-dollar expansion project. The three properties, located on Tidewater Crossing and Tidewater Way, are among the dozens of tracts the city has pursued to acquire through legal means since the project was launched more than a year ago. Alpharetta is undertaking the project, estimated at more than $60 million, in partnership and with financial assistance from Johns Creek, Forsyth County and the Georgia Department of Transportation. The votes to approve the condemnations were among the first actions taken by two new members of the City Council. In ceremonies held at the beginning of the meeting, Brian Will was sworn in to the Post 2 seat, filling the position held by Ben Burnett, who did not seek re-election. Doug DeRito was also sworn in as Post 3 councilman, filling the seat vacated by Karen Richard, who also did not seek a second term. DeRito previously served a decade-long stint on the City Council from 2001-2011. “I want to do it again because I think I have a lot to offer,” DeRito said. “I think I can at least be a voice of consensus up here and represent the best interests of the city. And I’m sure everyone up here has the same goals in mind.”

Following the swearing in ceremony, the council approved Post 6 Councilman Dan Merkel as mayor pro tem. The position was formerly held by Post 1 Councilman Donald Mitchell, the longestserving member on the City Council. Mitchell is one of two remaining council members who led a campaign last year for a $29.5 million parks bond referendum. The proposal divided the

Ratified district maps may shape future elections By JEFFREY ALBERTSON newsroom@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Three maps cleared by the Georgia General Assembly last month during a special redistricting session and signed into law Dec. 30 by Gov. Brian Kemp will reshape elections in North Fulton County. A flurry of litigation is expected in either scenario. For the second time in state history, Republicans control the redistricting process, which follows each census. Georgia missed adding a new Congressional seat, after the state population grew by about one million people from 2010 to 2020. U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath (D-Marietta), who represents North Fulton in the 6th Congressional District, has already announced she will seek election against an incumbent Democrat in the neighboring 7th District in Gwinnett County. The announcement followed the release of a new district map, which would extend beyond North Fulton into Forsyth and Dawson Counties. With the changes, Republicans have a strong chance of taking back the 6th District. McBath flipped a long held Republican seat in 2018. McBath’s election bid will pit her

Police investigate case of unemployment scam
Two men grab clothing valued at over $3,000
ALPHARETTA, Ga. –– A 57-year-old Alpharetta woman notified police on Dec. 9 that she had received a letter in the mail on December 9 from the Georgia Department of Labor regarding an application she never made for unemployment benefits. She stated that while she has been unemployed for years, she has not filed for benefits. The letter was a denial of benefits because she failed to provide the correct information.

One male had a green hooded shirt and dark colored pants. The other was wearing a black hooded shirt, black pants and white shoes. Both males left and entered a red
Chevrolet Camaro located directly outside the door. The vehicle description included an Alabama license plate that had a tinted license plate cover. The store reported the loss of 72 total polo shirts in three different style, three pairs of polo pants, three polo hats, three polo hooded sweatshirts and three polo sweatpants with the total value of $3,008.

Fulton County Schools brings back remote learning By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton County Schools is implementing changes to the start of the new school year to counter the recent spike in COVID-19 infections. The district announced last week that after consulting with the Georgia Department of Public Health and Fulton County Board of Health, it had decided that students would temporarily return to remote learning Jan. 4-7. Face-to-face instruction is to resume Jan. 10, with face masks being required in all facilities until Jan. 21. Infections have been rising in Fulton County over the past month. On Dec. 30, the state reported 2,550 COVID-19
cases in Fulton County, up from 143 at the beginning of the month. It also reported a 7-day average for new COVID-19 cases of 1,787, up from 75. In a statement Dec. 31, the district implored the community to do all it could to be safe and strongly encouraged people to get vaccinated. “Please remember COVID-19 is an ever-changing situation, one we cannot predict,” it stated. “We will continue to communicate changes as they occur.” Moving forward, the district said schools with positive COVID-19 cases equal to or greater than 1% of the student/staff population would continue with remote learning until the number of cases decreases. No schools in Fulton County currently meet that criterion. However, dur-
ing the week of Dec. 24, Evoline C. West Elementary School reported 19 cases, or 0.022%; Banneker High School reported 26 cases, or 0.015%; Westlake High School reported 34 cases, or 0.014%; Asa G. Hilliard Elementary School reported eight cases, or 0.014%; and Brookview Elementary School reported seven cases, or 0.014% – the highest rates so far. The district asks that parents or guardians submit a COVID-19 report to the parent or employee portals if their student has tested positive for COVID-19 in the past 15 days, has been in close contact with someone outside of school who was diagnosed with COVID-19, or is waiting for the results of a test for COVID-19 and/or reporting a pending test result.

Milton Hall CEO settles whistleblower lawsuit By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The CEO and medical director of Milton Hall Surgical Associates, Dr. Jeffrey M. Gallups, has agreed to pay approximately $3 million to settle a federal whistleblower lawsuit alleging that he directed his physicians to order medically unnecessary genetic and toxicology tests for their patients as part of a secret arrangement to defraud government health care programs. Milton Hall, also known as the Ear, Nose and Throat Institute, provides treatment and care such as balloon sinuplasty, sleep apnea and snoring treatment, voice therapy, tonsils and adenoids, and hearing aids. It has 13 offices throughout North Georgia, including at Northside Forsyth Drive in Cumming and Old Milton Parkway in Alpharetta. The lawsuit also claims that as part of a separate kickback scheme with Entellus Medical, Gallups received several forms of remuneration, including cash payments and all-expense-paid trips, in return for requiring Milton Hall physicians to exclusively use the company’s devices for sinus surgeries.
Dr. Jeffrey M. Gallups speaks with a guest on his “Doc Talk” show on YouTube in 2019. In 2017, the Stryker Corporation acquired Entellus, and its personnel flagged and elected not to renew the consulting arrangement that existed between Entellus and Gallups. Stryker agreed to pay $1.2 million in September 2020 to resolve the claims arising from the alleged Gallups/Entellus kickback arrangement. The Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits individuals who participate in federal health care programs from knowingly and willfully offering, paying or receiving any remuneration in order to encourage recommendation of any item covered
under a federal health care program. U.S. Attorney Kurt Erskine said Gallups abused his position for his personal financial interests. “In his role, Gallups was uniquely situated to benefit his community,” Erskine said. “Instead, he chose to put his personal financial interests above the interests of his colleagues and [Milton Hall’s] patients.” Years before the allegations arose, Gallups was known as an entrepreneurial doctor with a go-getter attitude. In a 2012 New York Times blog, he was recognized for learning to seek out the insurance companies to work out a one co-pay solution for patients even though they had received multiple treatments under his roof. “Unlike the practice that had booted him [seven years prior], he constantly tried new things,” the blog states. “If it didn’t work, his attitude was, ‘That’s OK. We will figure it out and make it work.’” Now, the Department of Justice alleges that between 2014 and 2018, Gallups directed his physicians to order toxicology and genetic testing from the Texas-based medical laboratory NextHealth, which then paid Gallups 50% of the revenue it received from
Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE in the form of supposed “commissions,” regardless of medical necessity. Gallups was not a practicing physician during that time, but federal prosecutors said the scheme with NextHealth, which is now defunct, began in 2016 and ended about a year later due to increasing complaints from Milton Hall physicians. In fact, one of those physicians, Dr. Myron Jones, filed the lawsuit against Gallups soon after his resignation in 2017. Jones is a former Army colonel and active-duty U.S. Army Otolaryngologist who has been practicing medicine for over 34 years, three of them with Milton Hall. His attorney, Raymond Moss, said Jones “bravely and tenaciously” sought to protect vulnerable patients and stop government fraud and abuse by bringing to light what he believed to be very troubling practices that undermine quality and affordable health care. The False Claims Act permits private parties to sue for false claims on behalf of the United States and to share in any recovery. Jones will receive approximate-

Local non-profits seek advocacy in new year By SYDNEY DANGREMOND sydney@appenmedia.com NORTH FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Rising inflation and housing costs are putting North Fulton’s most vulnerable community members at higher risk in the new year. Local nonprofits like North Fulton Community Charities and The Drake House have seen exponential growth in the number of community members requesting their services beginning in the latter half of 2021. “The biggest struggles we started seeing was due to inflation and the cost of food,” NFCC Executive Director Holly York said. “We were seeing demand increase 50%, 75%, 100% more than the year before.” North Fulton Community Charities serves individuals and families with emergency need in the community by providing food, clothing, financial assistance and life skills and workforce readiness classes. And while she has seen dramatic increases in need in the North Fulton community, York said she hasn’t seen the same reflected by the Atlanta Community Food Bank. The need is more localized to North Fulton. Atlanta Community Food Bank President and CEO Kyle Waide told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in December the nonprofit has seen a leveling off of demand in recent months which he attributed to a decrease in unemployment and the child tax credit. “We were shocked to see those numbers when our numbers kept increasing,” York told the paper. Beyond an inability to afford food for their families, NFCC patrons are also being priced out of their homes, York said. “But we are seeing an exodus from the community based on rents on average going up about 16-20%,” York said. “We’ve had people come in and say, ‘My rent went up by $700.’ ‘My rent went up by $1,000.’” She said these are people with good jobs making $18 an hour. “They can’t work any more hours to make the rental [payment],” she said. Over the past few months, NFCC has averaged serving roughly 100 new families per month, 25 of them seeking assistance for the first time in their lives, York said. The Drake House in Roswell sees the same issues. The nonprofit serves mothers and children already established in North Fulton who have fallen into a circumstance of homelessness by providing housing support and programming.
Graduates of The Drake House’s program, Executive Director Nesha Mason said, have seen an average wage increase of 72% in the last year. The increase, however, is still not enough. “Even with an increase in wages, they still could not afford to live independently in North Fulton even in a better career,” Mason said. “All of the right ingredients still are not able to maintain their families in North Fulton. The spike in rent we’ve seen over the last year is really pricing out a lot of people.” Just last fall, The Drake House conducted a survey among some 4,000 of its newsletter subscribers and found affordable housing a concern for 95% of area residents polled. The Drake House has partnered with United Way of Greater Atlanta to offer rental supplements to graduates of its programs for up to a year while they attempt to increase their income. “But at some point, we’ve just got to stop the bleed on the price of homes, rental and home ownership in North Fulton,” Mason said. The end of the year has brought major increases in assistance requests to The Drake House. “We saw a 32% increase year over year in November of inquiries coming into our organization,” Mason said. “In December, we had the highest number of calls that we’ve ever fielded in a month, and that was 1,500.” During the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, employment was viewed by many as the cure, but while unemployment has decreased nationwide, North Fulton families are still hurting due to housing and childcare costs, especially among children too young to be vaccinated. “So, it’s not just about going back to work, there’s also huge childcare barriers,” York said. York said she expects to see an increase in families requesting assistance after the child tax credit expires Dec. 31. Before the pandemic, Mason said most calls to The Drake House were from people facing homelessness or those staying with relatives or in a hotel. More recently, the nonprofit has been dealing with families living in their cars. “You’re looking at the choice of do I keep my housing, or do I maintain my car,” Mason said. “The car represents normalcy, ‘I can still take my children to school, I can still get to work,’… And that is probably the most tragic thing for me is the families that have their place to call home is their vehicle and we’re definitely

Roswell community mourns loss of star athlete By SYDNEY DANGREMOND sydney@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — Since the unexpected death of Roswell High School student and quarterback Robbie Roper on Dec. 22, community members have come together in their grief to remember the athlete. Roper, 18, died after being hospitalized in Gainesville, Florida, according to family members. Hundreds attended Roper’s funeral service at First Baptist Church in Woodstock Dec. 28 to pay their respects to the family. During his last season as a Roswell Hornet, Roper led the team through a 10-3 season, throwing for 3,010 yards and 37 touchdowns. According to 247 Sports, a college recruitment tracking site, Roper had received four offers to play football at the college level from the University of Massachusetts, Morehead State, Morgan State and Western Carolina University. Roper donned the team’s No. 5 jersey and since his passing, coaches, teammates and other community members have celebrated Roper’s life and showed support to family and friends
on social media by changing their profile photos to a number five and using the hashtag LL5, or “Live Like 5.” Roswell High School cornerback Ethan Nation shared his grief for his teammate on Twitter. “Lost of words I can’t believe they took you away from us this soon,” Nation wrote on Twitter. “I love you Robbie thank you for everything #LL5.” Principal Robert Shaw and head football coach Chris Prewett also took to Twitter. “My heart just breaks for the family of [Robbie Roper],” Shaw wrote. “My favorite memories are watching him on the sideline encouraging his teammates. He was always quick with a smile and respected by all.” Prewett released a statement Dec. 22 alongside a photo of flowers sitting in front of Roper’s jersey and helmet in his locker. “I’ve tried to put into words how this feels and how much of an impact this young man had on myself and our program,” Prewett began. “I remember hearing about your plans about your future and being so excited to see you achieve your dreams, I remember your jokes during practices. … Our program is forever changed and I’ll make sure
that your story lives on through these stories.” News of Roper’s untimely death has spread all over the country and to the National Football League. Xavier McKinney, defensive back for the New York Giants and former Roswell Hornet, honored Roper by writing “RIP Robbie Roper” on his cleats Dec. 26. The Atlanta Falcons also released a statement of support for the Roper family on Twitter, Dec. 22. “Football is family. And we are saddened by the passing of one of our local high school football family members, Robbie Roper,” the statement read. “It is clear the impact Robbie has had on so many in the Roswell community and beyond, from family and friends to teammates and classmates, and so many more. May he rest in peace as we keep his family, friends and all those mourning his loss in our prayers.” An extended family member of Roper started a fundraising campaign on GoFundMe after his passing to help his family cover funeral expenses and launch a sports scholarship in Roper’s name. As of press time, the campaign has raised $51,992.

I’ve never seen something so fast-moving and competitive. TRACEY CRAFT, Alpharetta Realtor with the Craft Dolan Team of Ansley Real Estate in Atlanta
8 | Alpharetta-Roswell Herald | January 6 , 2022
Housing market continues to look strong for 2022 By PATRICK FOX pat@appenmedia.com NORTH METRO ATLANTA — Cooler weather has not slowed the housing market in north Metro Atlanta. The most recent numbers from real estate tracking services report that homes continue to sell, values continue to rise, and the demand remains at historic highs for the area. The numbers also support the recent flood of permits and zoning applications for residential development across the northern Atlanta suburbs. Tracey Craft, Alpharetta Realtor with the Craft Dolan Team of Ansley Real Estate in Atlanta, said she expects the trend to continue into 2022. Housing inventory, a measure of available for-sale homes on the market, stands at about one and one-half months in December, about the same level it posted through 2021. That’s a far cry from just three years ago when 2019 began with an eight-month supply. Inventories typically dip during the spring and summer when homebuying picks up. That’s true in north Metro Atlanta, but buying and selling hasn’t dipped much since August. Craft said home inventory is still at historic lows for the area, and there’s no sign the housing market will slow in 2022. “I’ve been practicing for eight-ten years, and I’ve never seen it like this,” she said. “I’ve never seen something so fast-moving and competitive.” The high demand has sent some home values through the roof. The price tag on homes has climbed 15 percent in Forsyth County over the past year. North
Values continue to climb According to realtor.com, the average list and sale prices for homes in north Metro Atlanta continue to climb from levels year over year. Here are the latest numbers for November 2021: City Median listing price Median sale price Yr. over yr. Alpharetta $525,000 $507,500 +5.2% Forsyth County $489,900 $467,000 +15.3% Johns Creek $550,000 $552,000 +10.9% Milton $895,000 $817,500 +12% Roswell $492,000 $505,000 -1.6%
Average days on market The average days a home is listed before it is sold provides a picture of how hot the real estate market is. The length of time between a home listing and its sale has declined sharply over the past two years in the cities of Alpharetta, Roswell, Johns Creek and Milton. This chart tracks the average number of days a listing remained on the market through the year over the past three years. Area 2019 2020 2021 North Fulton 70-75 days 60-55 days 22-18 days Source: First Multiple Listing Source Inc.
Housing inventory Housing inventory, the amount of supply of available houses on the market, is another indicator of the real estate market in a given area. Housing inventory is measured in months. Usually, the fewer the months of inventory, the greater is the demand and higher the price for real estate. This chart shows the amount of inventory during the months of January and December through the past three years. Area Jan./Dec 2019. Jan./Dec. 2020 Jan./Dec. 2021 North Fulton 8/5 months 7/3 months 2/1 months Forsyth County 6/3 months 5/1 months 1/1 months Source: First Multiple Listing Source Inc.
Fulton real estate has climbed more modestly, but it remains at levels much higher than four years ago. Craft said she’s seen some properties
post 19 percent gains in value through 2021. And demand is still strong. “You can put a house on the market now on a Thursday, if it’s move-in ready,
you can still sell it by Sunday,” she said. There are not quite as many offers coming in as there were during the summer, she added, but even so, sellers are getting their list price. Of course, some sellers will want to list high, and those prices are often adjusted downward, she said. “I think we’ve hit a season of reasoning here in this last quarter,” Craft said. “But the buyers are still out there. If you have a move-in ready home, you’ll do really well right now.” All the while, homebuilders continue to lay plans for more houses. Alpharetta continues to approve plans from developers seeking to add townhomes and detached homes to its downtown core. Interest is also growing for residential building in the North Point and Northwinds area of the city. Forsyth County has seen a steady flow of applications for residential building development. Right now, the greatest obstacle to more homes has been getting supplies to build. Just last month, the Forsyth County Commission agreed to hold a public hearing on a measure to end certain architectural requirements for lap siding because builders complained they couldn’t get materials to meet the standard. Craft said that when supply issues and labor shortages are resolved, the housing market will probably level out to a slower pace, with longer due-diligence periods for buyers and more time to secure financing on a purchase. “The pressure on buyers in 2021 was just crazy,” Craft said. “It was a tough year for buyers.”

How to winterize your home Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS, Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty With the holidays behind us, and the temperatures dropping, now is the RAWLINGS time to get your home ready to beat the cold. Single-digit temperatures and freezing water can wreak havoc on your house and yard. Preparing your home for winter isn’t simply about staying warm and keeping the cold out, winter problems like burst pipes can cause damage during freezing weather. 1. Protect Your Pipes When water freezes, it expands and can cause your pipes to burst. To prevent frozen pipes, insulate pipes near windows, doors and unheated areas of the home. Disconnect your garden hose from the outside faucet. Finally, set the heat to no lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Check Your Drainage Make sure the soil around your foundation hasn’t settled, creating areas for water
to pool at your foundation. Simply fill it in with some soil if you find a low spot. Then go around and check your rain gutter downspouts. Make sure water is getting moved away from the home. Add downspout extenders if necessary. Saturated soil around a foundation can create real problems as it freezes and thaws throughout the winter months. 3. Safeguard Your Patio Furniture Get your patio furniture protected, but make sure you wait until a clear, warm day to cover it, so you don’t trap moisture on it. Keep your patio furniture safe from the elements (including rust) by covering your pieces with a heavy tarp. And if you have room, you can also store furniture in a shed, garage or basement. 4. Test Your Detectors Winter is the time most house fires happen. It’s the time of year when we’re blasting the furnace and building fires. We are also much more likely to have our home closed up tight, so carbon monoxide is a much bigger hazard. Check all of your smoke detectors to make sure they are working and that they have good batteries. If your home is not equipped with carbon monoxide detectors, consider getting some.
5. Keep Critters Out of Your Attic It’s going to get cold out, and your attic is the perfect winter home for squirrels and birds. These critters can cause a lot of damage and potentially some health problems. Ensure your trees are trimmed well away from the house and keep your roof vents intact. Also, walk around your home and look up at your roofline to make sure there are no holes that will allow birds to get in. And don’t forget to reverse your ceiling fans. As most people learn in school, warm air rises. Reversing the direction of each of your fans will create an updraft, which in turn will push down any heated air pressed against your room’s ceiling. By keeping warm air circulating, you’ll use heat more efficiently, which could cut down on energy costs. Keeping your home protected from the cold will keep it in top shape for the long run.

The housing market in Atlanta has been a roller coaster ride Brought to you by – Ansley Atlanta, Tirone & Weaver The housing market in Atlanta has been a roller coaster ride for the past two years and according to some reports, we might begin to see a little stability in 2022. This past year was plagued with inventory shortages which helped drive up prices. Ansley Real Estate’s Jody Tirone noted, “Several factors contributed to the dramatic spike in demand that overwhelmed supply this past year, but all indications point to a leveling off of prices and a rebound in inventory on the horizon.” According to Realtor.com, metro Atlanta’s annual median price for existing homes is expected to rise only 3.6% next year which would be a sharp decline from the double-digit increases seen in 2021. Another positive sign is that reported housing starts and building permit applications indicate more new construction will come to market in 2022, helping to ease the inventory shortage. In addition, many homeowners who sat out the crazy market last year are now planning to sell. Last spring, roughly 10% of homeowners said they were planning to sell within 12 months, according to Realtor. com surveys. By fall, that number jumped to 26%. Ansley Real Estate’s Tammy Weaver added, “Another hopeful sign for the housing market this year is renewed buyer interest. Many buyers delayed their plans in 2021 because of the inventory shortage and a general hesitation to enter such a competitive market, but they are tired of waiting and will likely jump back into house hunting mode in the new year.” Of course, economic forces will also influence the
real estate market this coming year with looming interest rate hikes and continued inflation woes having the greatest impact on potential buying power.
If you need help determining how these economic trends may impact your housing plans, contact us for more information.

The New Luxury: A Future of Generosity Brought to you by – Cynthia Lippert, REALTOR®, Ansley Real Estate Managing Broker So far, we’ve explored how luxury has embraced a more authentic, creative, and inclusive standard. How luxury LIPPERT living has shed its pretense and redefined itself to become a truly individualized yet all-encompassing experience. As we at Ansley Real Estate illuminate the new luxury living, it will come as no surprise that at the center is an ethos of generosity, connection, and service. Giving is the New Having Social media has shone a light on how we’re using our time, our resources, our gifts. Luxury is no longer solely defined by the cars we drive or the brands we wear, but how we live our lives in them. Through this lens we see more of the world and the issues confronting it. More importantly, we see how we can be part of the solution to problems like poverty and racism. Modern life is no longer just three-dimensional, and what we share has become more important than what we have. Luxury used to be about
what we had to show for our hard work, but it’s becoming more about the work we can do for others because of what we have. The new luxury is generous. Thoughtful is the New Tasteful The world may be adapting to a culture of change after what has seemed like a prolonged season of shifting attitudes and expectations. Permanence has become a dated concept that has been ever so stylishly replaced by the effortlessness of being in the moment. We’re less consumed by our affection of objects, and more mindful of their meaning and relevance in our lives. In a world of mass production and homogenization, we’ve returned to craving the crafted and the curated. We want our surroundings, and our lives, to tell a story, and to have deeper meaning and purpose. The new luxury is captivating. Inclusive is the New Exclusive Being mostly distanced for the last two years made us realize how important connection is to our lives. Not just to family and friends but to the people around us on any given day. We were reminded of the power of a smile, a friendly greeting, a gesture of random kindness. We started to really see each
other, even with the masks. And with a little distance some of the barriers that separated us metaphorically began to fade. Our lives have become enriched more by relationships with people from different backgrounds and cultures than with the things in our lives. The new luxury embraces diversity. As our world has adapted to the volatility and uncertainty of the last
couple of years, we’ve assigned a deeper, broader meaning to luxury. One that gives as much as it acquires, does as much as it says, and prizes variety and connection as much as brands. As Ansley Real Estate continues to lead the way in luxury lifestyles, our series will explore and define what it means to live generously, authentically, and connected to a greater purpose.
Putting the pieces together in 2022 By Rachel Provow, HOME Real Estate, LLC. With the holiday season behind us, we reminisce on the festive gatherings with our families, friends and clients. We enjoyed visiting, sharing, and especially listening to what PROVOW they and their loved ones have been doing. Invariably, during our visits, the most often asked question centered around current housing market conditions and value trends. Our homes are almost always the largest single investment we have and it’s natural that people are eager to discuss how that investment is trending. We get it and we’re always eager to provide our unique perspective. Unquestionably, Atlanta remains one of the most desirable markets in the United States and, overall, currently remains a seller’s market. At least once a day someone asks me if I believe the market is headed for a crash. The short answer is no. We will not see prices begin to fall until the housing shortage is satisfied. An extreme demand for proper-
ties is still prevalent in metro Atlanta markets. New construction communities have added to the inventory, but even with these additional communities, we still simply have more buyers than homes. Although not every neighborhood is the same, in numerous communities, it’s not uncommon to see five to ten buyers for a newly listed home that checks all the boxes - location, schools, reputation, amenities nearby and of course, the characteristics of the home itself. In today’s market, the stress-factor can be high at both ends as sellers sift through the complexity of the bids and, for the prospective buyers, it can be frustrating and of course, disappointing for the bidders who come-up short. It isn’t always the highest bid that wins the day. With the tools available on the Internet today, both buyers and sellers are better informed than ever before and have the ability to set-up watch lists as new properties come on the market. Often, I get questions from curious searchers about houses that hit the market in their neighborhood and is there home worth a similar amount. In my role, I help analyze the information
and explain the adjustments used in property valuations in an area where some home prices appear out of kilter with other homes in the same neighborhood…sometimes even on the same street. By clarifying the data and offering guidance, we can dissect the true value of the property. To ensure success in 2022 real estate plans, it’s necessary for buyers and
sellers to have a clear understanding of all the pieces of the puzzle. What makes the strongest contract, where is the real value and how to best market the property are all components that need to be addressed.

Non-profits: Continued from Page 4 seeing an increase in that.” NFCC and The Drake House’s models are built on helping families get through emergency periods of need and setting them up for long term self-sustainability. But with rising housing costs, the families under their care are no longer suffering from short-term crises. “It’s not just a matter of us helping them out with a couple hundred dollars while they have a short-term crisis,” York said. “It’s not a short-term crisis if they’ll never make up that $700 or $1,000 a month.” And while NFCC can help families with food, clothing and shelter thanks to the generosity of community members, York said, the organization is requesting assistance to solve the problem of housing affordability through advocacy. “The businesses that we love in North Fulton, the restaurants and the shops, it’s all wonderful, but they’re not going to be able to sustain any of this with no labor,” York said. “There’s no labor, and the labor that’s here is having a hard time just getting here and living here.” Both organizations have seen
former patrons relocate outside of North Fulton. Minimal public transportation options in North Fulton put further stress on family incomes, especially amid rising gas prices, Mason said. “Many of [The Drake House graduates] are still working in the career path we put them in, but because they weren’t able to afford to stay in North Fulton are now living in Gwinnett County or Dekalb County having to make that commute,” Mason said. “And the commute is a threat to their stability.” All of these factors have ripple effects, including traffic flow on streets and staffing shortages among businesses in North Fulton, Mason said. Mason and York encourage community members to reach out to local officials to address the root problem. “Just speaking up and continuing the conversation about affordable housing and making sure those who represent us understand that it is something that we as a community want to address is huge for us at The Drake House,” Mason said. In the meantime, Mason encourages community members to continue to support their local nonprofits. “The support that is given to the nonprofit community absolutely can be a band aid or stand in the gap until we can make changes on a bigger scale,” Mason said.
Post 2 Councilman Brian Will is sworn in to his first term on the Alpharetta City Council Jan. 3.
JAKE DRUKMAN/ APPEN MEDIA
Project: Continued from Page 1 fight, Jason Binder. There was no discussion of the new seating arrangement. In other matters at the first council meeting of the year, members voted to reinstate current speed limits along a number of streets they had initially sought to reduce. The action comes after tracking tests on more than a dozen roadways last fall showed 85 percent of motorists were exceeding the posted speed limits by 10 miles per hour or more.
Director of Public Works Pete Sewczwicz said the Georgia DOT recommended the city install traffic calming measures to reduce speeds before officially changing the speed limits, to avoid the areas becoming a speed trap. He also said there is no outstanding crash data that would make reducing the speed limits imperative. The council also unanimously approved an extension to the city’s automatic aid agreement for fire services with Johns Creek, Milton, Roswell and Sandy Springs. The pact allows that when a fire occurs in one of the member cities, the closest fire station will respond, even if the fire is outside of its jurisdiction.
GEORGIA GENERAL ASSEMBLY LEGISLATIVE & CONGRESSIONAL REAPPORTIONMENT OFFICE
The proposed redistricting map, right, removes Democrat-leaning voters in central Gwinnett and adds Republican-leaning voters in Forsyth and northern Gwinnett counties. Au is running for an open seat in House District 50.
Elections: Continued from Page 1 against party ally Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux (D-Suwanee). Bourdeaux’s 7th District covers most of Gwinnett and Forsyth Counties. The proposed plan would confine the district to Gwinnett County. Last election, Bourdeaux flipped a Republican seat held since 2002. Critics of the new Congressional map argue that the Peach State will have no competitive races. In the 2020 election, only two seats in Georgia’s Congressional delegation were decided by fewer than 10 percentage points. Those were McBath and Bourdeaux’s current seats. State Sen. Sally Harrell (D-Atlanta) said the redistricting session was fast and furious. “The proposed maps were released just hours before the session began, which meant there was not enough time for analysis, review and statements from the public,” Harrell said. “Public hearings were announced with little warning, which made it very difficult for interested constituents to participate in the process.” Harrell’s District 40 includes part of Fulton, DeKalb and Gwinnett counties. The updated map will remove Fulton County and parts of Gwinnett between Peachtree Corners and Berkeley Lake, totaling about 4,000 people. One state senator said the maps represent Republican fears of losing. District 48 State Sen. Michelle Au (D-Johns Creek) will seek election to a state House seat held by Rep. Angelika Kausche that encompasses part of her current Senate District. That district, which includes Johns Creek and parts of Duluth, would be redrawn to remove the current Gwinnett County section and replace it with Republican-leaning voters from Forsyth and northern Gwinnett counties. “Because redistricting is this way – drawing districts so contrived as to be lu-
dicrous, to shore up power that is clearly fading – reads like a balding man trying to fool the world with an embarrassing comb-over,” Au said. State Sen. John Albers (R-Roswell) said the Republican majority in the General Assembly again produced constitutionally compliant State House, State Senate and Congressional maps. He will continue to represent State Senate District 56, which would stretch deeper into Cherokee County and away from Democratic prospects, under the proposal. “The overt political power grabs and illegal punitive gerrymandering that marred the Democrat-led redistricting process in 2001 are not part of the current redistricting process,” Albers said. “In 2011, Republicans changed the game with a principled approach and passed maps that even the Obama Justice Department couldn’t object to.” One state representative is seeking election to the State Senate. Rep. Josh McLaurin (D-Sandy Springs) will seek election to Senate District 14, which includes the Fulton County cities of Sandy Springs, Roswell and the southern edge of Alpharetta. The proposed district will include parts of Albers’ current district. McLaurin is critical of the Republican controlled Assembly’s maps and expects immediate litigation. “The Supreme Court has said it is not illegal to do partisan gerrymandering where you carve up districts on the composition of Republicans and Democrats, but it is illegal to base redistricting decisions on the racial identity of voters in these districts,” McLaurin said. “That will be the focus of any litigation.” Georgia Democrats support an independent redistricting commission drawing districts instead of the state legislature. “At least with an independent commission, you create more layers of insulation between the politicians who are affected by the process and the process itself,” McLaurin said. “Voters are turned off the by the idea that politicians choose their voters, that’s antithetical to the idea of true representation.”
Lawsuit: Continued from Page 3 ly $614,000 from the settlement. If Gallups or Milton Hall fails to pay the entire settlement within 12 months of reaching the agreement, there is a consent judgment that orders them to pay the Department of Justice approximately $5.3 million, plus post-judgment interest. In a separate criminal case in October, Gallups pleaded guilty to defrauding health insurance companies by submitting fraudulent insurance claims for unnecessary lab tests. He is scheduled to be sentenced in February and faces up to 10 years in prison. Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta Chris Hacker said he hopes the False Claims Act settlement in this case will be a deterrent to those who “selfishly profit from dishonest medical treatment rather than upholding their oath as a health care provider to do what is best for their patients.” Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr echoed those comments, saying the Medicaid program relies upon the independent judgment of medical professionals to make appropriate treatment decisions. “Financial relationships that undercut this independence diminish public trust and unnecessarily drive up health care costs for our citizens,” Carr said. “We remain dedicated to working with our state and federal partners to maintain the integrity of public programs and protect taxpayers’ dollars.” The case was investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia, the Georgia Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services – Office of Inspector General, the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Defense Criminal Investigative Service of the U.S. Department of Defense – Office of Inspector General. The civil settlement was reached by Assistant U.S Attorney Paris A. Wynn and Georgia Assistant Attorney General James Mooney.
