Abstract:
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.

Town officials in agreement with Rosemary Village owner and builder Tom Tucker started a program in 2002 to reserve six units to be rented to low-income individuals. Specifically, low-income refers to individuals qualifying for the affordable housing under federal guidelines or earning below 80 percent of the area's median income. Tucker has now foreclosed on two of these units and plans to do so for the remaining four, claiming that he is operating these apartments at a personal loss.

Abstract:
As part of the “Landlord Hall of Shame” series published in the last two issues of the magazine, Raleigh’s most famous landlords are profiled. US Senator Jesse Helms and wife Dorothy own 22 rental properties in Raleigh. 19 are rented in white neighborhoods and are in good condition. 3 are in poor, black neighborhoods and all three have been cited for public nuisances and housing-code violations. Helms has said that private enterprise should drive the housing market, not the government and has voted against bills to fund or create public housing projects. A double-standard seems to be employed by Senator Helms.
