Thanks for reading! Lemme know what I'm missing, and thanks to @alfred_twu & @Geo_Rex_H for the illustrations @Dwell used for this article.

6) Sideways sixplexes.

Affordable housers have heard loud & clear from their buyers: apartment buildings shouldn't be our only option. 4-6plexes hitting price targets for at least 1/2 of homes will now be able to offer porches & private yards - including for ownership via condo.

4) Eliminates barriers to double ADUs.

Portland's old, tight ADU rules were written for a world where single-detached zoning was sacred. In our state it's now illegal.

Since that cat has now left the bag, we removed some rules that limit ADUs based on size of main house.

My best answer to all three of these questions has been "yeah but those scenarios are all better than keeping these options ILLEGAL."

I think I'm right about this.

But still, what if there were some simple way to address all of them?

There is.

It's right in the backyard.

UNLESS

@davidnwelton If you can avoid mandating more than one street-facing door, that might eventually allow a lot more midblock plexes!

This should not be a hard choice

No hell it should AT LEAST be a hard choice

Virtually every municipality treats it as an easy one: “don’t create the job”

This is literally what parking mandates mean

@nbrhoodwrkshop @alfred_twu The options on the left (hint: it's the ones that would require demolition) aren't economically feasible on almost any lots right now.

That's OK! No need to knock down usable structures if we can put homes between 'em.

That's why they call it INFILL. 👍

Now Portland has another recipe for legal housing:
1) concrete slab
2) tiny home on wheels or RV (with toilet)
3) sewer hookup
4) extension cord

Like a 4plex, it's not for everybody! Not appropriate for subsidies, either.

But I'm thinking it'll come in pretty far below $200k.
