In an era in which 'affordable housing' costs $700,000-plus per unit, facilitating the construction of much cheaper ADUs is both smart and obvious
It’s been a dozen years since the Census Bureau first reported that California had the highest U.S. poverty rate when the agency factored in the cost of living — something it had not previously done. Since then, lawmakers have taken increasingly bold steps to address the main cause of this problem: the extreme cost of housing.
In trying to limit the hurdles to building new shelter, one of the few such steps to almost immediately pan out was making it much easier for homeowners to add a single “accessible dwelling unit” — a small, detached house with its own entrance — on their lots. Last year, more than 23,000 ADU permits were issued across the state, a huge jump from the nearly 5,000 seen in 2017.
