Policymakers across the country are considering large- and small-scale revisions to single-family detached zoning regulations that would allow diversification of housing types in these areas. Most prominent among these is an effort to expand the availability of accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, and multi-unit dwellings, or MUDs, in single-family zones that will create units at a lower price point/market rent within these otherwise cost-prohibitive neighborhoods.
