<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt">Just wondering if any towns have adopted As-of-Right Accessory Dwelling Units (detached) along with the allowance of Tiny Moveable Houses. I see that Great Barrington did so in 2020 (quite forward thinking!)
and was wondering if anyone else has. With the current lack of truly affordable housing, I think this would be something we can do as a relatively quick fix within our municipalities. Thanks!<u></u><u></u></span></p>
