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.
