[quote=briansd1]CA renter, just playing devil’s advocate here.
Do you want 6 driving age residents living on each side of you?
Where are they going to park their cars?
You’re a woman so I bet you won’t feel the same way once the guy next door decides to park his conversion van in front of your house, day in and day out.[/quote]
Well, I have no idea why a woman wouldn’t like a van conversion (I used to have one!), but I would definitely have parking requirements for the extra units. There should be off-street parking (garage, carport, or just driveway space) available for every extra bedroom, IMHO.
With proper planning and layouts, it’s not as difficult as it may seem. When things are built around a certain idea from the beginning, it’s much easier than when you try to alter an existing structure/lot/neighborhood.
