What I am trying to figure out is 'running water' and drainage to the sewer. How does this get done? I can't imagine the processing being easy.
Easier than running it from the street.
As to making a difference, these certainly will not be enough to solve the lack of housing options. But every little bit helps, and this is another alternative (or supplement) to duplexing a house: the owner may well rent both the house and the granny flat.
If we can get 200 of these built, that's the equivalent of a big condo building, with no additional land required. And most of those will be substantially less expensive (to rent) than a new condo.
