The Small Bites Series: Statewide ADU Reforms

As the housing crisis grows, state governments are stepping in to overrule local efforts to obstruct housing. That process, known as ‘state-preemption’, is now seen in state houses around the country. It often starts with Accessory Dwellings (ADUs) and single-family zoning, but can also focus on parking mandates, lot splits, and building code reforms. We will look at the earliest ADU reforms and consider what this means for reform legislation moving forward.
