If it was me...I'd check with zoning to find out how many dwelling units I could build, and I'd find what the requirements are for those units (type of house, height and setback restrictions, etc.).Then I'd find out what local builders think the cost to construct would be - just get a cost estimate per square foot for 2 or 3 different levels of finish.

Now it has CA code that protects them from jurisdictions that could advocate for their removal which would result in less safe units being available.It is an interesting dilemma especially if after the initial law they pass a subsequent law extending the dates.
