[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand the Council made up its mind to do this, [b]public opinion notwithstanding[/b].  The only thing they're debating about is whether your ADU should be fenced off from the neighbor's property.   [/quote]

What do you mean, public opinion notwithstanding? There are certainly people who oppose the idea, but there are also plenty of people who support it.[/quote]

Yup, like the real estate developers who donate to the Council.  [/quote]

I don't understand why people are convinced that the real estate developers are behind this. Pulte and Toll Brothers are not interested in converting your basement into a rental apartment or building an accessory dwelling in your backyard.[/quote]

I don't think it's 'real estate developers' who are behind this.  It's the real estate investors.  They want to make as much money as possible on the property they own.  We see this already when the investors come into the neighborhood and build a gargantuan second story on the home so that they can rent it out to 4 families instead of just 2.  Regardless of how much room there is for parking, and regardless of how many kids will be now attending the already overcrowded schools.[/quote]
