Yes In My Back Yard

NIMBY’s (those who say “Not in My Backyard”) have made it harder and harder for new housing to get built.  Consequently, the Chicago area, like much of the United States, has a shortage of housing where people actually want to live.  With smaller unit sizes and zero land costs, ADU’s are universally seen as a small but accessible way to help address the problem.   

In a world of NIMBY’s, Chicago Granny Flats can help you become part of the solution.
