So, the city is allowing mother-in-law suites to be built (and then rented)?

- alistairSH 10y agoLooks that way. And seems reasonable. In dense residential areas with mostly free-standing homes, they seem to scale well. They don't dwarf existing units, they don't become eye-sores, etc. Done well, the remaining rear yard becomes a cozy, quiet nook (albeit now communal). As far as I can tell, none of my local jurisdictions (NoVA) allow MIL cottages. Arlington allows MIL apartments (basement, attic conversions) but limits design/space and prohibits renting (literally only for family). Fairfax doesn't even allow that.
