So I actually have a story about this, which I have posted on HN in the past...
Alameda, Ca - I was talking to the planning department about this problem as I was interested in creating a Tiny Home Community - and had one of the Pre-Eminent Tiny Home Companies on board: Wind River Tiny Homes to assist in planning, speaking to the city council etc...
The city council shut it down and refused to re-zone the lots. They stated that one was not allowed to put multiple tiny homes on a single lot - as the zoning required one entrance per dwelling only on the lot, which meant one pluming infrastructure, one sewer and one power...
So I asked if I could build shared utilities underground for multiple units on a lot - and they said no, because they defined single dwelling as only having one primary entrance (front door)
And they were dead set against changing any zoning laws.
Further, when asked about municipal broadband, they said "no we sold that whole contract to comcast, and we wont be looking at that again"
(That is an actual quote)
