You think I'm kidding, but this guy has consistently advocated "accessory dwelling units" — tiny houses built by homeowners in their gardens — as a means of blocking any sort of new housing that people might actually want to live in.

Is it un-PC to call them granny flats? I remember them being advertised as such the last time I was looking, foolishly, for a place to live in California.

We certainly can't call them that while we're pretending that they're not a complete joke as a solution to the country's worst housing crisis

Some of them in Santa Monica looked nice for a low, low $1400-a-month.

I think Mason's point is that their number is bounded by the number of pre-existing houses and so they're not a serious solution for a population that persists in increasing.

If it feels like I'm weirdly emotionally invested in what is — to *you* — a completely hypothetical bit of commentary on the various kinds of housing that might be built, I'd invite you to consider why that might be.
