City Dense
I didn’t have time yesterday to add my two cents to a post Erica did on Greg Hill’s editorial about Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (DADUs), in which he says allowing more garage apts. in neighborhoods will ruin Seattle’s lifestyle for “most of us.”
There’s a giant flaw in his argument: If enough people are building and moving into garage apts.—or DADUs—to increase density (to the point that it’s a problem for Hill), wouldn’t that be a vote of confidence for increased density by the rest of the people in Hill’s neighborhood—who are doing the building and moving into garage apts.?
In other words, if his argument—DADUs will increase density—is true, that means “most of us” want DADUs.
Here’s an analogy: It’s like Detroit arguing against raising fuel efficiency standards because they’re scared most people will start demanding fuel efficient cars.
What? I don't follow you, Josh. Can you re-phrase?
