Well, that's a whole bunch of people I won't be voting for in the next election. Navarro isn't looking out for her own district.

Our neighborhood just got rid of it's last illegal multifamily rooming house, and it took the police to get the stragglers out. 
And, just sold off the last foreclosures this past year. I'm sure the addition of more ADUs will not be helpful, and will lead to more rooming houses and more Airbnb houses.

But hey, as long as investors and people in TP and Bethesda are making money, it's ok to chase those of us who want to buy an under 550k sfh in sfh neighborhoods to Howard and Frederick.

I don't have a problem with rooming houses, in principle. The effects should be regulated, of course.

Do you think there's much demand among tourists to come stay in your neighborhood in a backyard house as an AirBnB?[/quote]

You’d be surprised!  I live in a neighborhood that’s about 15 mins away from Metro and we have a home that runs an AirBnB.  [b]If there is money to be made[/b], people will make it [/quote]

But that is the question. IS there money to be made? How many neighborhoods with single-family-detached houses under $550,000 are there within a 15-minute drive from Metro? And if there's demand for an AirBnB there, wouldn't there also be demand for a legal ADU (detached or in the basement) for someone to live in?[/quote]
