Based on the sections of my post you quoted, I'm not sure I follow why you ask, so I'd be interested if you could elaborate. But to answer your question: Yes. I think they are unlikely to make any meaningful difference in the housing market, but I strongly support liberalizing zoning in a way that would allow such structures to exist.
