ADU permits are a good idea but they're nowhere near impactful enough to provide housing for the number of people who need it in heavily housing constrained areas. The housing developments that need to happen are bigger in scale, much more like datacenters than like legalizing household construction of ADUs.

I actually would support giving tax breaks to housing developers on the same scale as those being given to tech companies building data centers, for exactly the same reason that it encourages construction of those buildings and I think that is a good thing. And NIMBYs, whether for housing or for data centers, are straightforwardly opposed to these structures existing at all, regardless of the way they are taxed. I want them to lose in both cases, which means that I'm in the position of wanting local government authorities to ignore the demands of a vocal set of their constituents and allow private industry to build.
