Plumbing 师傅也完工了，请了市政府来检查也通过啦。

两天的Plumbing + 税 花了5k，本来租客要求工作日做的，但Plumbing 师傅说他们工作排太满，如果要工作日做就要等工期，所以和租客商量减了一些这个月的租金，用周末做了，今天安排的检查。

"When we talk about why would somebody build an accessory dwelling unit — in some cases it's for maybe an aging family member or it's a boomerang child, or it's something that somebody sees as a potential source of income." #zoningreform #adu #airbnb #rva #zoning https://www.vpm.org/news/2023-07-25/short-term-rental-airbnb-vrbo-adu-sup-str

Time to install the Faraday cage. (Presumably the window covering will be cut away.)

When #LosAngeles Confronted a #HousingShortage by Designing Communities

A look at what LA did in the past to build a lot of housing, and how current city and state electeds are traveling to Vienna to see how they’ve done it there.

Bungalow courtyard apartments, courtyards with open space, space designed for living, and, the current #ADU trend…

all in hopes of making housing affordable by building more housing units. https://capitalandmain.com/when-los-angeles-confronted-a-housing-shortage-by-designing-communities

Lyft's decline presents challenges for bike share systems nationwide. Accessory dwelling units can help aging Americans age in place. Meanwhile, Ithaca, NY is paving the way for reducing emissions and sustainability.

Accessory dwelling units are one of California's big housing success stories - in LA, one out of five new homes is an #ADU.

More state laws are proposed to open up homeownership opportunities and make it easier and faster to get permits.

Currently, ADUs are required to be rentals. However, many homeowners don't want the hassle of being a landlord. Assemblymember Phil Ting from San Francisco has a bill #AB1033 would allow ADUs to be sold separately.

Community land trusts have also been building ADUs to increase the number of affordable homes on their land. #AB671 from San Diego area Assemblymember Chris Ward would allow CLTs to build ADUs & junior ADUs & sell them to separate homeowners, creating new homeownership opportunities. CLT homes are typically sold at low cost with the restriction that when the buyer sells, it also has to be at a cost affordable to low income households.

RT @BensenvilleIL: #Bensenville CED Director Kurtis Pozsgay joined #ADU advocates, #municipal

My neighbor in back built a nice little #ADU in his backyard, for his dad or mother in law to use when they're ready to make a change. The yard also features a patio, fruit trees, and a sociable gaggle of chickens and ducks. What's not to like?

Hallo @cdu,

wäre es nicht Mal langsam an der Zeit euren Namen zu ändern? Statt #cdu in #adu?

Alternative Deutsche Union - das würde doch so richtig passen.

@alfredtwu

Having recently moved from LA County I know they actively support ADU's there.

Good to see building preservation combined with new units.

I have very mixed feelings about our City's new #ADU Fast Track Program.

On one hand, it offers design solutions to a greater swathe of the population that ordinarily could not afford design services.

On the other, it presents #architecture as a product, uncustomized to your needs and deflates the architect's role (and potential earnings/value) further. The firms who were approved (let alone those that were not) provided these designs at risk and only benefit by volume sales to the public.
