In Oregon, it became legal to build ADU's a few years ago. [0]

In Washington, certain cities put restrictions on SRO units. The state is passing legislation to make that easier. [1][2]

These are just cities I've lived in. I would imagine other cities are facing similar zoning questions.

Some of us think that more housing is a good thing, and laws preventing units like ADUs or SROs are prima facie misguided.
