My landlord said she’s removing our garage and turning it into a ADU, she’s increasing the rent taking away space. 4 bedroom house will now be a 6. Plus having a stranger living with us with a just a wall separating us is not giving us peace of mind.
People complain about homeless due to housing shortage. Now they’re going to complain about people lowering houses costs which may reduce homelessness and absurd housing prices.
Most new houses are two story and near one another no sense of privacy either way. Most homes can have a second story addition added so really no expectation of privacy.
wtf does parking have to do with your privacy? 😂 don’t you have a driveway? Shouldn’t you have your own parking spot(s) and again what does parking have to do with privacy 🤷🏽♂️
@@E36ASAP it’s that they should have there own driveway to park in . These single family homes are just that Americans want there Californian lifestyle. A lawn and BBQ plus a space to have a garden , not seeing a rental home over there 6’ wall. We never voted for this crap.
Shouldn't have JUST bought a home for privacy. You should have strategically planned for future development. The best way to solidify privacy is by buying 1 or more acres of land. You should also have considered building a driveway into your property so you won't have to worry about street parking, but if you owned ample acreage of land you wouldn't have much to worry if you decided to park on the street. With that said if you're so concerned about parking and privacy you definitely should've had a driveway from the start. Personally when I buy a house I'm eager about the opportunity of building an ADU and renting it out. Hell I wish I could find an affordable one already set up in the housing market ready to rent out right after closing on the property. Sounds like a solid way to buy a house with mortgage covered from their rent, option to pay the mortgage off quicker, and if no mortgage is concerned taking care of property tax and a nice source of additional income!
@@ByebyeBiden Then why are you concerned about parking? Hey if you're smart build an ADU and sell or rent both properties and buy you a that large land with all the privacy your heart could desire. ;)
Im wondering how did it pass through planning.. Code requires adu sq ft not more than the main dwelling unit AND should be the same construction and style
One architect told me that you can build a 2nd home that will be deemed as the "main" home and the original main home be designated the ADU if owners want to move into the new build instead
The intent and effect of this is to destroy neighborhoods that have traditionally been for single-family residences. An ADU is bad for traffic, parking, and infrastructure. All one needs to do is to look at conditions in the barrio, such as in Pacoima or Huntington Park to see the effect of the absence of single-family residences.
Totaly agree with you. Our neighborhoods will become a ghetto. If I was to tear my house down and build apartments on my lot, I would be expected through the permits, to create additional parking on my lot to accommodate the residents so they won't take up the street parking. But what these ADU's residents they are expected to park on the street and take up our street parking! Can you imagine if I built an Adu and so did my neighbor to my left and right did also? And a family of 4 moves in at each residence. That is like 12 parking spaces that will not be available to the other neighbors and they will have to park 1/2 a block away to find parking! And like you said it will destroy our neighborhoods because the people coming in will be of low income (section 8, homeless (paid by state)) and bad people from outside neighborhoods who want to move into our area. My neighbor just sold his house and he didn't sell it to 2 separate investors who had the same idea and they were interested in buying his home because they told him they wanted to put and Adu on the property. These investors are the ones who will also destroy our neighborhoods because they don't live there and they just want that MONEY! They are buying properties now, and changing our neighborhoods. Does anyone know if we can change this law with another law or just get rid of this current law? Also, some of the homeless are being housed in apartments in good areas and rents are paid by state and it is increasing the crimes in the areas that they reside in. The same type of crime will happen when we bring ADU people into our neighborhoods.
@@will-nc1zy We have to work with our local city councils and neighborhood councils to counter the state laws' assaults on our neighborhoods. I am pretty sure places like Malibu and Beverly Hills have something up their sleeves.
ADU shifts all of the risk to the homeowner while the city takes credit for “doing something about” the housing shortage crisis. Terrible idea. Don’t fall for it.
oh , so your views and snooping around of your neighbors backyards takes precedence over the city's tax revenue huh? what are you, the king of sandiego CA ?
That is something that makes no sense to me at all. How do you sell ownership of property plotted on land you own for them? Can you evict them? If you evict them do they just pick up the ADU and find land elsewhere? Given the fact that it's a longer process to remove property from land than it is just being removed from said property would such an eviction process take longer than a typical one?
Did you see that 2-story ADU being built at min 2:26, the walls are so close to the main house, they can practically hear each others farts, 🤣makes no sense
Like they mentioned, ADUs aren't going to fix the housing crisis alone. But with that one $5200/month ADU, there's one less family looking for a place to live.
Luckily most homes in my neighborhood have pools. Gonna be hard to fit in an ADU. I think this will put a premium on neighborhoods like mine when people figure out the value of moving to an "ADU proof" neighborhood. Thanks for making me richer newsome.
Well blame yourself for moving to an area that houses in small lots of land. Pretty sure you can find better opportunities on the outskirts of the city. Better act fast and buy larger land to secure the future you want for your home. lol
There is so much undeveloped land available and it's not far away, everyone just wants to live in the same neighborhood rather than 15-20 minutes away. People who own large acreages should develop some of it and rent it out. Some state owned land can be sold to developers.
The set of laws that guaranteed the destruction of Californian suburbia. It's not a "crisis" that everyone who wants to live in "America's finest city" is unable to. This is open borders logic. The intelligent thing to do is to limit population growth until it can occur organically with a natural rise in housing supply, where possible, *NOT* allowing the floodgates to open by giving residential property owners the ability to plant apartment buildings in their backyards.
This makes no sense. San Diego would only turn into LA if we continued building on undeveloped land on the outskirts of SD county. As in - expanding the county by building more suburbs to the east. LA is the way it is because of massive suburban sprawl. I agree that LA sucks in comparison to SD. The way we avoid becoming LA is by increasing housing density in our already existing neighborhoods.
@@MetrifoldYou are partially correct, let me explain a little. The area of LA I lived in was middle class single family homes back in the 80s. By 2005, everyone had built multiple ADUs in their backyard, and there were 8 cars per "home". The street was completely jam packed with parked cars on every inch curb. The density became ridiculous, and whole neighborhood turned ghetto. Everyone who could afford to, moved away to places on the edge of LA, which helped create the sprawl you are referring to.
Theyll let wealthy homeowners build ADUs to rent or sell for inflated prices, but will fight RABIDLY against you having a tiny house anywhere. California works for the rich. This is why the wealth gap keeps getting bigger
I'm curious, when an ADU is sold separately from the main residence, will the land entitlement (lot lines) be restructured, or will the new ADU owner pay a land lease indefinitely?
This is actually going to depend on deed convents, actual city implementation, and most importantly, your lenders preference. The bank that actually owns your deed is going to have the final say as selling your Adu technically will cause a breech of contract/ mortgage contract failure as it is a material change in circumstances.
@blakeaaron5698 no. The only variable that needs consideration is your lender's risk assessment on its foreclosure rates. Selling an ADU means that 1 loan now has two potential foreclosures. Double the risk, double the legal fees, double the overhead, double everything except base profit. Looking at this fiducialy, unless your bank is trying to violate the spirit of truth in financing disclosure laws/ mediate or enforce contract terms in bad faith and become a commercial real estate developer, this plan is DOA.
Accessory Dwelling Unit. It's a living space separate from the main home on the property. It could be a converted garage, an addon to the building, or a separate building. Specifics vary by region, but they're generally required to have a separate entrance, a kitchen, bathroom and sleeping/living space so a person could live there completely independently of the main house.
ADUs should have an owner-occupancy requirement. If a homeowner wants to build a home office or an art studio where he will be doing work, that is fine. But the idea of effectively transforming single-family residences into multi-family dwellings by allowing tenants to move into ADUs is absolute lunacy. People are fleeing California in droves specifically to get something resembling the Brady Bunch house, which in L.A. County outside of the barrios cannot be found for less than seven figures.
what is wrong with this state it will make every neighborhood more dense with no back yard , the gentleman that was talking his culture doesn't care about over crowding people from south of the boarder are used to living in over crowded environments but lets think about others . maybe a one story granny unit !

Sounds nice but it is still a expensive Proposition to get one built more like a stop gap result for the cash flush Individuals willing to take on a Build in there back yard !.
The creation of extensive single-family zoning is a major reason why housing is so expensive, and a major reason why people who don't make 6-figure salaries have been pushed into the barrios. If you are so against ADU's, then what's your solution to overpriced housing?
ADU comment sections, when people have the money it's the best thing ever. When they don't, now they're worried about overcrowding and whatever other Fox and The grapes rhetoric they have in their head.
I’m curious - for most of those commenting against ADUs and new ADU laws - are most of you home / landowners? 🤔 I was born, raised, and still live in San Diego. I never plan to leave. As someone who has no generational wealth or property to inherit - and as someone who owns a condo but wants to upgrade to a home one day, God only knows when I can afford it - I think ADUs are great. I don’t get all this hate against ADUs.
I think they pose a threat to the integrity of the communities and the property value. You work hard to finally buy a home in SD and then someone builds a huge ADU next door… it’s like buying a Toyota Tundra and having it turn into a Toyota Corolla. Sure it’s still functional but your comfort and property value just dropped significantly. Parking is also another issue. Unfortunately, not everyone will have the opportunity to own in San Diego… why buy a small unit in a backyard vs a condo or townhome? Plus the plumbing and electrical may be tied in which just causes a whole bunch of other headaches
There are several concerns. 1) two, three story ADUs destroy the privacy previously held by neighbors. 2) As parking requirements have been waived, it will eat up the available street parking. Many neighborhoods are rather old and the houses weren't built with garages so anything that impacts street parking will affect the entire neighborhood. 3) Infrastructure is simply not ready to support the density desired. Many neighborhoods are very old and struggle to provide quality utilities now. The roads will become congested. The sewers will flood or worse leak, causing sinkholes. The electric lines will become hazardous as more and more units are sharing a single AC line. The internet and wifi will draw to a crawl as the current bandwidth is divided more and more. Last but not least, it won't help homeownership or the high cost of rentals because people will just sell or rent the property at the prevailing market value. The most you'll get is a 20% percent discount due to the size of the lot. With interest rates where they are, it won't help many people.
The Manhattanization of California is not what most people want for Calif’s future. Why don’t they just control the damned border? You can’t let in a million people every year, then build cheap, ugly mini-units on every square foot of land to house them. It’s going to look like shit!
This is already ruining my neighborhood, taking all the garages away and in turn all the parking. Who wants their front door right next to a dumpster?
It's not about what you want. It's about what you can afford and actually obtain...
This makes no sense, if they can pay 1800 for a studio they can find one that's not next to a dumpster.
You can use public transit, and thus won't need the garage sir

I don't blame people trying to get extra money or getting two or three jobs to make more money.
Say good bye to America’s Finest City 🤬🤬🤬
Absolute disgrace
they should make it owner occupied in order to build an adu and rental income also.
This is the most none sense rule ever
The creation of extensive single-family zoning is a major reason why housing is so expensive, and a major reason why people who don't make 6-figure salaries have been pushed into the barrios. If you are so against ADU's, then what's your solution to overpriced housing?
although state encourage it, many cities add restriction or try to against it.
Nope, too bad, you built it on your property you have to deal with your ADU, people within, and living on top of one another.
PARKING!!!!! That's the main thing here in California.
Soon it will be apartment blocks, so count your blessings it's just a second house.
ADU comment sections, when people have the money it's the best thing ever.
When they don't, now they're worried about overcrowding and whatever other Fox and The grapes rhetoric they have in their head.
Bring it to Vegas
ADU"s will bring an END to the Suburbs.
F…. All that !
Parking sufficiency?
Bad idea.
Jeff is the usual grumpy NIMBY ... whining
It’s a train wreck waiting to happen.
Very interesting
Just another reason to hate your neighbor 😂
Hoa starting to look nice lol
I’m curious - for most of those commenting against ADUs and new ADU laws - are most of you home / landowners? 🤔
I was born, raised, and still live in San Diego. I never plan to leave. As someone who has no generational wealth or property to inherit - and as someone who owns a condo but wants to upgrade to a home one day, God only knows when I can afford it - I think ADUs are great.
I don’t get all this hate against ADUs.
I think they pose a threat to the integrity of the communities and the property value. You work hard to finally buy a home in SD and then someone builds a huge ADU next door… it’s like buying a Toyota Tundra and having it turn into a Toyota Corolla. Sure it’s still functional but your comfort and property value just dropped significantly.
Parking is also another issue.
Unfortunately, not everyone will have the opportunity to own in San Diego… why buy a small unit in a backyard vs a condo or townhome? Plus the plumbing and electrical may be tied in which just causes a whole bunch of other headaches
There are several concerns. 1) two, three story ADUs destroy the privacy previously held by neighbors. 2) As parking requirements have been waived, it will eat up the available street parking. Many neighborhoods are rather old and the houses weren't built with garages so anything that impacts street parking will affect the entire neighborhood. 3) Infrastructure is simply not ready to support the density desired. Many neighborhoods are very old and struggle to provide quality utilities now. The roads will become congested. The sewers will flood or worse leak, causing sinkholes. The electric lines will become hazardous as more and more units are sharing a single AC line. The internet and wifi will draw to a crawl as the current bandwidth is divided more and more.
Last but not least, it won't help homeownership or the high cost of rentals because people will just sell or rent the property at the prevailing market value. The most you'll get is a 20% percent discount due to the size of the lot. With interest rates where they are, it won't help many people.
The Manhattanization of California is not what most people want for Calif’s future. Why don’t they just control the damned border? You can’t let in a million people every year, then build cheap, ugly mini-units on every square foot of land to house them. It’s going to look like shit!
It's the typical CA NIMBY.
@@caratan474 Someday, if you work hard, you might own something too. When you do, you're not going to want anyone throwing trash at it either.
Make sense why they pushed SB9 to divide plots now this. Lmao about ti be q clusterfuck
I think it’s a great thing so more can get a change to own a piece of land
do you really wanna ‘own’ a piece of somebody’s backyard?
@@sarahbaartmansrevenge owning anything is a great thing what do you mean I rather own a piece of someone’s backyard than not own anything
Oh so you want favelas?
