But if you've built an accessory dwelling unit and an in-law unit in your backyard, and somebody's not paying the rent, or they're being a bad actor, and this is, you know, your yard, your home, your primary residence, I do think you need the ability to tell the person that they've got to vacate the premise.

22% of the new housing built in San Jose every year is ADUs.

They give people flexibility.
