It's obviously not illegal. Everywhere that they try to make it illegal, builders and banks come in and lobby to ensure that they are allowed to further condense housing so that they can squeeze that much more out of every invested dollar and save on building materials in the name of "affordable housing" that none of us can afford.
- CalRobert 3y agoHave you ever tried to convert a single family home in to a quadruplex?
- trimethylpurine 3y agoI haven't. Let me know what I'm missing. If you're going to say the HOA stopped you, that's not a criminal law issue, that's a civil dispute. Meaning it's not illegal it's agreed upon by society to be annoying and deserving of a monetary disadvantage.
- CalRobert 3y agoIt's illegal due to zoning and parking minimums
- trimethylpurine 3y agoNot in the US, but possibly in your city. But even then, I bet you can't show me the city code that prevents it. Why? Because it's ABSOLUTELY legal, as long as someone approves it for you. Who? Well, someone who sits on city council and approves it for builders and banks, not chumps like your broke ass trying to turn a fourplex. Of course you can't do it! They wouldn't want your affordable fourplex driving down the price of their bank buddies' loft apartments at a million plus downtown. This is a slam dunk example of why high density is a bullshit marketing front for REIT stock millionaires capitalizing on the destruction of environment, community, civil liberties, and freedom in America. Based on this comment, I must point out that you are your own worst enemy. Stop supporting high density housing if you want to turn a fourplex. That's not high density. Fourplexes have yards dude. Have you been to the city?
