<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Exactly!
The new EOHLC regulations are a double whammy
for towns. Not including small ADUs as
affordable (or even as half an affordable
unit), does nothing for the numerator in the
SHI 10% calculation; while counting these
little units as full market-rate dwellings
bumps up the denominator. End result is towns
that add desired ADUs only fall farther behind
in attempting to reach their affordable
housing goals.</span><u></u><u></u></p>
