I like the idea of innovating the rental and living situation and we need help with more and lower cost rentals in SoWal - especially for singles or young couples (workers). I'm not sure how the laws are and somehow we would have to ban them as vacation rentals. Maybe approve them only in certain areas like north of 98 or north of the bay?

Some cities are taking the lead to facilitate new backyard flats. Los Angeles, for example, launched a new accessory dwelling units (ADU) Standard Plan Program earlier this month to fast-track approvals for more than a dozen designs for backyard buildings.
The goal of the Standard Plan Program, as L.A. chief design officer Christopher Hawthorne explained to the Los Angeles Times, is to “turn it into an approval that is over-the counter.”
