In this article the author is discussing the push for lifting the ban on the construction of accessory dwelling units, backyard cottages, in Raleigh. Residents of Raleigh are lobbying to lift the ban on accessory dwelling units so that they can rent their houses out, more affordable housing, having elderly family members live close by, college housing, and places where additional family members can live. City officials and other residents argue that it can cause the neighborhoods to become crowded, increased light pollution, rowdy residents, and that the ADU’s might not match the surrounding homes.

Abstract:
Durham will evict approximately 200 low-income residents from their Lincoln Apartment homes. The property owner can no longer afford the utilities and upkeep. None of the city’s recent initiatives will immediately help them. The city has a waiting list for affordable housing, Section 8 housing is closed, and funding is scarce. The budget includes plans for expanding affordable housing over the next five years, but it won’t help those Lincoln Apartment residents now.
