That is the most likely reason the mayor would say something like that I think.

Hey @Matthew Ferguson ...That depends if you're thinking of going the LTR route in the city of St.

Go in person to the planning department and talk to them.

Hey Chris, a few thoughts here.Considering that office is not attached to the house, I wouldn’t add any footage to the total home square footage; however, you could advertise that office space and amount of footage and amenities in your remarks.If you’re a Realtor or are using one for the sale, your local MLS may have fields dedicated to additional footage for other buildings on the property, such as ADU’s.The other point is that typically, perhaps depending upon location, a space needs to have heating to count in the square footage, which this office doesn’t have if I understand correctly.Consider contacting an appraiser to inquire about how they would handle this space on an appraisal, or a Realtor.

Without factoring in tax benefits and principal pay down, you're $1800 ahead of the game by house hacking.

Which one are the "happening" areas?
