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.

Which is why I *repeatedly* said that I was in favor of generous opportunities to build ADUs, despite the fact that I don't consider them to generally be optimal long-term living quarters.

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.

I should let this go, but I can't: Do you actually believe you understand what it is like to *live* in a typical ADU because you spent — what, a month? — in a carriage house vacation rental managed by a professional management company? I'm still in awe.

It's not the architecture. It's extremely likely to be managed by someone who's not a professional, has little or no experience managing property, and lives within view. Because it's a single unit, there'll generally be no way to find reviews or references.

I’m a recent homeowner and have rented a couple rooms to Facebook data center electricians. Mason’s description is exactly me. Lower middle class pink collar homebody. By no means an experienced or “professional” landlord. Save us if I’m the solution. At least there’ll be plants.

In housing markets with a healthier supply, a landlord with a single unit who can't supply prior tenant references is going to have a hard time getting anyone to sign a lease. People are desperate here; it's important that there be alternatives to taking these risks.

But you can imagine what it’s like in a different sort of city? I’m in central Oregon with an booming population and relatively soaring rents. When I post about rooms I’m bombarded with families inquiring about renting JUST the one room. Clear signal of an unhealthy market.
