So many interesting tidbits in here;
- Ireland housing crisis worst in the world. Planning process uber bureaucratic (not news obviously)
- Interesting models from Korean and Israel
- ADUs in the US started in 2016, now 21% of new units in LA are ADUs - cover
- "Street Votes" - "The idea is simple: following the example of the international precedents, Ireland should give small local areas the power to develop more, if they wish to. In the Irish context, the most appropriate geographical unit for such decisions is the street"
- "Consider an average South Dublin street consisting of two-storey detached and semi-detached houses. Street votes would allow residents to choose a street plan that allows each home to add three more storeys, adding tens of additional units. Homeowners could sell or rent out the additional units thereby realising significant returns at current property levels."
