> The city should work with architects to develop models for housing types that are pre-approved

Maybe I'm late to the party, but I recently found out some cities are doing exactly that and I'd love to see it become extremely common. South Bend, IN is an example that has plans ready to be used of housing that is reasonably affordable to build. I'd love to see even more multi-family options, but let's not have perfect be the enemy of good.

In my city I'd love to have a catalogue of ADUs shapes and configurations I could just add by right.
