I wish other angles to increase housing supply were also being explored in Boston...they started an accessory dwelling unit expansion "pilot" program but i think it only included 2 neighborhoods.

In the smelly unit, the duct cleaning guys found wax cartridges for a weed vape pen in the living room duct.

Besides becoming an expert in this area, I'm a real estate lawyer, which makes it easier for me to understand the laws & zoning codes I'm reading.As far as I know, there is only one County in California where tiny homes are legal as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), a unit placed on the property that already has a home on it.

Ideally, even get a property with an extended backyard where I could build a detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU) on the same property.

One alternative is to take the extra step past the house hack and make your own; in DC, Arlington & Montgomery Co it's now legal to create a second, "accessory" unit within most existing houses:https://www.smartergrowth.net/...

I lived there from 2015-2019 and didn't see much opportunity for what I was comfortable with - however, I think a viable option, (albeit hard to find) is to find a Accessory dwelling unit somewhere in Phoenix.

People sleeping in tents, vans, and tiny houses on wheels, are classified as accessory recreational vehicles in the zoning code and are subject to the requirements noted in paragraph 20.

Joe Bertolino I'm looking at the same angle but elsewhere in CA... the Accessory Dwelling Unit provision applies statewide!

Looking for an SF or duplex to rehab and owner occupy, with some hidden value (eg. potential to finish basement, create a bd, add accessory dwelling, etc),  and potential to BRRR in the long run.

The major changes with this compared to the previous ordinance is parking, occupancy limit and lot size requirements.Lot size requirements: - R1: 7,500 sq ft lot or 10,000 sq ft if building a guest house or accessory unit) minimum  - R2:  5,000 sq ft lot minimum- R3: 7,500 sq ft lot minimumLooking at those minimum lot sizes, there's a potential that none of your houses will qualify for a STR permit.
