New article: Accessory Dwelling Units in the United States[edit]

Hi!

I am a Rice Architecture student who would love to create a new article on Accessory Dwelling Units, specifically in the United States. For this article, I would provide a short description of ADUs, as well as some background history on housing in the United States and the use of these dwelling units. Then, I would provide information on their benefits and challenges, complemented by examples of projects that have already been executed in some American states/cities. I believe this article would be a great addition to the Wikipedia Section on housing, sustainability, and urbanism, as well as a useful complementary article to this main secondary suite article. I invite you to check my user page for more information on this possible future article.

Sounds good to me! I'd say go ahead and create the article, but if it is not accepted, than put the content in here and improve this article; it can always be broken out later. ---Avatar317 ^(talk) 22:51, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Examples Image[edit]

I have created a quick illustration of different secondary suite types. Please let me know your thoughts on if it would be helpful for the page. I based it off some similar designs from APA and AARP. Joiedevivre123321 (talk) 03:01, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article Organization[edit]

I would like to propose some organization edits. I believe adding "background" and "benefits" sections would be helpful. The background section could include history of secondary suites, terminology, and legal considerations. This may help consolidate some of the information that is repeated or confusing. A benefits section would add context to why countries, states, or regions are permitting secondary suites. This reorganization would also help us to update some outdated information.

Sound good to me. Thanks for your other edits also on Missing Middle Housing. ---Avatar317 ^(talk) 22:38, 19 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
