The ADU's alone will not solve Asheville's housing supply shortage. The City must revise the current zoning ordinances to allow multi-family dwellings in historically single-family neighborhoods. Increasing density through "missing middle" housing is the best way to boost supply to meet demand.

ADUs — or granny flats — have cracked single-family neighborhoods. Amid a housing crisis, are they enough?

In my opinion, there will never be enough trails. I'm glad to see that this is finally coming to fruition.
