Yes to more of this. Everywhere. “As #affordablehousing grows increasingly scarce for both young and old, accessory dwelling units provide several advantages. “They create #housing that doesn’t alter the look or feel of a community,” said Zoe Baldwin the New Jersey director of the Regional Plan Association, a nonprofit group in the Northeast. “It’s a way to add capacity within the existing footprint,” she said, a strategy planners sometimes call “gentle density.” A.D.U.s don’t require much government investment in #infrastructure, and they reduce #energy consumption and costs. Accordingly, they are growing more popular.” https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/29/health/elderly-housing-adu.html #accessorydwellingunit #sustainabledevelopment #urbanplanning #urbandevelopment

I want to build weird houses that are #earthships-like. Incorporated #greenhouses to augment what the farm produces, but with a focus on #retirement and aging in place. I'm young still but I want to be done moving, so I need to plan ahead. Accessible bathrooms with all amenities like bidets and shower seats to keep me functional longer. Quality #AccessoryDwellingUnit quarters for aides.
Can I attract the right assistance for my twilight years by providing housing, food, and a stipend?
