@KathleenCrand11 @NancySkinnerCA Nancy approved $150M for ADU grants and finance assistance that’s available through CalHFA. There’s 2500 grants @ $40k/ea available. Less than 1000 have been used so far so there’s more to go around Berkeley. We’ve started here and success will bring more options.

@NancySkinnerCA We could have 1000’s of new units of every size in every neighborhood if we incentivized, helped finance and streamlined the ADU process in Berkeley.

@howtoadu Looking at the panel kit on a trailer leaves out the best part, the finished ADU! The kit is for our Julie plan which is shown here. This one was finished almost 10 years ago in Walnut Creek CA.

How To ADU 🏘️ @ryanohousing@threads.net
I love this project and construction solution, but... you gotta admit that posting pictures of that much lumber these days is a flex like posting a picture of a luxury sports car. ;D

Yeah! Our first panel kit delivery is in Burbank! A big thank you to @NBCSchultz for his advocacy of pre-approved ADU plans for the city! This is a 734sqft 1bd1bth built by our partners @BackyardHomePro #prefabADU site prep and assembly #BennanConst

@jumpstartadu @YouTube 1hr total to set 14 wall panels, top plates over panels, 3 roof rafter panels and front & back fascia! These guys do it everyday so they’re like a NASCAR pit crew 😂. DIY’ers might take a full day or two 👍🏽!

In 1994, Jeff Bezos famously spotted a stat that made him leave his high-paying PE job to start Amazon: 💡 The Internet was growing 2300% per year. What are the generation-defining stats of today? I'll post a few to kick things off...

@BackyardHomePro @Yimbyadu Gotcha. Making all lots zoned multifamily will address this. And also create pathways for the public to take land back. We need both strategies.

@AbundantHousing The often missed critical issue is #scaling. Being able to build the needed structures is overlooked. With our Title 24/UBC compliant units, not an RV or Shed, 1000's could be built in a single year using local contractors/trades. 🏘️🏘️🏘️🤷‍♂️

@AbundantHousing @Yimbyadu The difference is housing that can be built for less than $100K! In some cases the cost drops to less than $50K/unit. I could go on to break it down even more.

@AbundantHousing @Yimbyadu SB9 was the first step towards opening up SF zoned properties to higher density. We’ll need more laws like this and other process barriers reduced or removed. So many good housing projects lose the battle of public hearings. I haven’t even mentioned parking issues!

@AbundantHousing @Yimbyadu That and lots zoned multi are ridiculously priced so it forces the development cost into a high dollar resale or rent product to make it ink out. Hence current lack of affordable housing in CA

@BackyardHomePro @Yimbyadu It sounds like the construction type is scalable to fit multifamily, but it's the underlying zoning and permitting that are the barriers.

@AbundantHousing @Yimbyadu In principle yes, but there’s a few more layers of issues tied to land prices, zoning and building codes. Other manufacturers focus on that segment of housing.

@AbundantHousing with just 1B of the states 20B surplus there could be over 10K fully funded permanent housing options with ADU's. The number doubles or triples based on incentive programs big enough to get homeowners to buy in. 🏘️🏘️🏘️⚡️

@Yimbyadu what's the difference, in terms of structure and construction, between ADUs and regular houses? Are ADUs more like modular homes?

@yimbyaction 500+ ADUs specifically for low to extremely low income people that keep them housed or transition them from being homeless. We started this movement and now it’s time for the next step in its evolution!

@yimbyaction I decided to build ADUs instead of custom homes back in 2005 when the money was great for McMansions. All my builder friends thought I was crazy
