Mason  🏃‍♂️ ✂️

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.
