Hacker News Reader

This seems like a good thread to link to https://missingmiddlehousing.com/ , which is a site I've seen discussed directly here on HN several times previous. I am still in the process of consolidating my opinions on this, but I did find it an interesting, useful read.

On the about page, I found

> We call them “Missing” because they have typically been illegal to build since the mid-1940s

but I could not easily find and further explanation about why this is, etc

They go in to further detail about that on https://missingmiddlehousing.com/about/how-to-enable .

Interesting. It doesn't say they're illegal, it says they're illegal in Single Family suburbs. Its like they want the benefits of low density housing but somehow not do low density housing.

By coincidence, I watched this video about missing middle houses this morning:
