Abstract:
The construction of detached backyard cottages has been banned throughout Raleigh for decades, but many people are opposing the regulation over the popularity of tiny houses. A new proposal would allow detached dwellings citywide as long as they are built to code. Critics are afraid it would lead to urban blight and downtown neighborhoods will lose their appeal as people could turn the dwellings into slums.

Raleigh’s City Council has approved a new provision that allows community gardens in some parts of the city to operate without a special-use permit. However, not all areas are covered and many want the provision expanded. The gardens brighten vacant lots, serve as community gathering places, and are a source of nutritious food to low-income areas.
