Locally zoning has been loosened up for the construction of ADUs. Basically, it allows a small additional dwelling unit to be constructed on lots with room for it. A lot of them are going up as lower cost rentals to attempt to provide some workforce housing.

I got in here by downsizing in 2019. I would not pay current prices. I do live a good distance from the shore and floodplains, so my insurance costs are not crazy, but certainly have risen. I live on SS, but am fortunate to have a pension as well.
