Your logical is dead wrong.  On your theory, my neighbor should be able to build whatever he or she wants, whether a SFH, a SFH with an ADU, a duplex, townhouses, apartment building, or maybe even a tall commercial building.  [b]You buy into a community based on the understanding/assumption that the your neighborhood will remain roughly the same.  [/b] If that neighborhood is mostly SFH, you expect it will remain so.  And your property taxes are based on a similar assumption.   You are not taxed as if your property were commercial, for example.  As a PP noted, what ADUs potential will do is to drive out upper income taxpayers.  MC is already doing so, and driving more out will destroy MC's tax base.  MC's relative success and prosperity is entirely dependent on upper income taxpayers.  And MC does NOT have a growing business community to fall back on.

Maybe you did, but I didn't. Land use changes, zoning changes, transportation changes. [/quote]
