With a new year comes new laws and a handful of them deal directly with accessory dwelling units, better known as ADUs. One new law, AB 1033, gives cities the option to allow homeowners to sell their ADUs separately from the main house. Not surprisingly, there are those who support the idea and others who have serious concerns. “I think it's a great thing,” said Raphael Perez, Chair of the of Casita Coalition, which encourages the building of more smaller, affordable housing. He believes ADUs will sell for a lot less than a full house, allowing more people an opportunity to buy a home. “You're not sharing walls, you get a little bit of a yard, hopefully somewhere to park and that's what we're really hoping for,” Perez said. “People get this opportunity to own a price of San Diego that otherwise may be locked out.” He also believes it's great for seniors who own a home, but need more income to stay in their house. They can sell an ADU for extra cash. FULL STORY: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/working-for-you/californias-new-adu-laws-in-effect/509-463b8f36-0233-4bb6-8052-45e4cf850515
