Is the solution to California's housing shortage literally sitting in the backyard of single-family homes? This week, Matt and Liam delve into the role Accessory Dwelling Units--ADU's, in-law units or "Casitas" as no one calls them, could play in fixing the state's housing woes. First, the Avocado of the Fortnight delves into the relationship between the Old Testament, state housing policy and the new mayor of Beverly Hills (5:45). Then a discussion of SB 50, the controversial bill to allow more apartment buildings around transit, as it cleared its first legislative hurdle this week (11:40). Matt and Liam debate the merits of what ADU's and should not be called (18:00). Finally, interviews with ADU proponent Sen. Bob Wieckowski (24:00) and ADU builder Stan Acton (38:30).

Much ADU about "casitas", with Sen. Bob Wieckowski and granny flat builder Stan Acton
