📈 Why ADU Regulations Matter

The US is facing a housing shortage of over 3 million units. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) — also known as granny flats, backyard homes, or casitas — are the fastest-growing solution. But local zoning laws vary wildly from one city to the next. ADUCheatSheet cuts through the noise and gives you the exact numbers you need.
