        @WSJ @slyall before that they were called 'shearers quarters', many small farmsteads had them for itinerant shearers (including my place!)

        @WSJ Not sure about Australians & granny flats, but ... replacing a standard showerhead with a 1.5 gpm low-flow: full payback in 3-6 months.

        @WSJ Australia, like U.S., France & Britain, has sold houses to foreign investors to launder their money, distorting own housing prices.

        @trojecki @WSJ. Ha, nothing new. It's a small self contained flat usually at the rear of the property or above the garage. #kidsneverleave
