What a Street Looks Like 39 Years After Legalizing Fourplexes
- clairity 7y agoan article after my own heart! one deregulation i'd heartily support is for the "smallest" urban zoning to be 4+1 by right. that would be a fourplex plus a detached granny flat, or accessory dwelling unit (ADU) as they're officially called. that can quintuple density without changing the character of a neighborhood (as shown in this article).
- tropo 7y agoThe character of a neighborhood sure does change. There will be a change in average wealth, a change in average age, and a change in the availability of free parking. I think the third picture even shows evidence of a person struggling to keep their parking spot. Note the orange cone.
- clairity 7y agoare those things necessarily bad? if rich empty nesters move out, and a poorer family with working adult kids moves in, you'd change all those metrics too. would you restrict movement in/out too then?
