I feel like no one responding to me in this thread is capable of understanding how the tone of your wording changes how it is received by others.

I understand how capitalism works and that this provides an option that wasn’t available before.

Telling people who have next to nothing that they can simply choose another house if they think this one is sub standard, while factually accurate, makes you sound like a complete asshole who doesn’t understand that they don’t have the resources to pick other options

That’s the entire point I’m making. Any response about capitalism or ADUs is ignoring my point and talking past me



Yes, X may be their only option. X sucks, and it’s not what anyone with options would choose. Well, except for Y, which is even worse.

You’re arguing that X shouldn’t exist, leaving only Y. This, in your words, “makes you sound like a complete asshole who doesn’t understand that” this is a step up.
