Are Mother-In-Law suites a solution to our housing needs?

We sit with Matt Tucker, Zoning Administrator for the City of Madison, to talk about what any think is an easy answer to the housing affordability problem here in Maidson, the Accessory Dwelling Unit!  ADU’s are more than just carriage houses. They include basement apartments as well as accessory buildings.  Why have they not yet been super popular and what hurdles remain before they become commonplace?  We talk about zoning, restrictions, financing, and the myriad of benefits they offer to current homeowners.
