The city of Calhoun, about an hour north of Atlanta, recently blocked a tiny homes development. Now, a lawsuit argues it violated the Georgia constitution.

The development plans started because of a problem in Calhoun.

“We have a serious lack of affordable housing,” said Tiny House Hand Up Executive Director Cindy Tucker.
