For an example of the third paragraph, Oregon passed a law in 2019 that overrides local zoning to legalize duplexes on almost all residential lots and fourplexes and cottage clusters on residential lots in cities with a certain density minimum.
- adam_arthur 5y agoYeah, I'm not familiar with the exact legalities, but it's similar in Austin. Lots of SFHs being converted to duplexes. Of course this alone doesn't completely solve the problem, but at least the duplexes are cheaper than the SFH. E.g. In the northwest hills neighborhood, lots of smaller homes that are noticeably cheaper than the SFH equivalents.
