What could possibly go right?
Why do Liberals solutions always sound like Silly Forts?
Do they not expect every adult deserves the same living space as these Idiots trying to trap them in a rental cage?
Everything that comes out of that part of California is a half assed venture, that proposes toy solutions for real problems.
Get the hell out of that town you fools, converted storage spaces? WTF is wrong with those motherfuckers?
I would have to slap a bitch if I lived there and was at a town hall meeting. There's just no fucking way I could stomach that level of stupidity on my tax paying dime.
I just wont, can't do it!

Bless liberal hearts for all the sweet fantasy ideas.
The problem is that eventually you have to deal with reality, and liberal design quickly breaks down.

How many other cities in the Bay Area are trying to circumvent the law by stalling ADU permit applications.

While ADUs are likely to be beneficial for many property owners (and the friends or family who end up living in them), it's not likely that the addition of ADUs are going to make a large dent in the housing market. It's a nice thought but the overall benefit to the housing crisis will likely statistically insignificant.
There are 419 accessory dwelling unit — ADU — projects in the planning pipeline. Many are proposing multiple units, which means that the number of individual units pending approval is actually 1,100 ADUs.

Yeah, that pesky Fire Department standing in the way of cheap housing bliss. Remember how wonderful it turned out when Oakland FD did not object to some warehouse being hastily converted into multiple cheap ADUs....

Photo: Stephen Lam, Special To The Chronicle Supervisor London Breed wants to speed up approval of accessory dwelling units.
There are 419 accessory dwelling unit — ADU — projects in the planning pipeline. Many are proposing multiple units, which means that the number of individual units pending approval is actually 1,100 ADUs.
That’s a lot of housing — the equivalent of about three Rincon Hill apartment towers. But only about a quarter of those projects have been issued permits so far, and only 23 have been completed.
“What’s the holdup? We made ADUs legal, so why is it taking so long to implement?” said Breed, who is running for mayor and positioning herself as the most pro-housing candidate in the race. “It’s been two years. There is too much bureaucracy.”
To get to the bottom of the delays, Breed is proposing an ADU task force that would include officials from the Planning Department, Department of Building Inspection and Fire Department. The working group would go through the cases in the backlog and figure out which applications can be sped up.
“ADUs are a creative way to produce more housing in a market that desperately needs it,” she added. “We need to get these units to the market sooner rather than later.”
