Accessory Dwelling Units News-
"In addition to the unprecedented level of spending authorizations, the Affordable Homes Act creates key policy initiatives, including allowing accessory dwelling units under 900 square feet by right on single-family lots. Often referred to as in-law apartments, accessory dwelling units can be attached or detached from a single-family home and often take shape as a basement or attic conversion, a cottage in a backyard or a bump-out addition to a home. This new policy replaces a patchwork of zoning regulations across the state with a uniform law that allows homeowners on single-family lots to add these small units without needing a special permit or variance unless they want to add more than one. Construction of ADUs is still subject to local building codes. The Healey-Driscoll Administration estimates that between 8,000 and 10,000 ADUs will be built across the state over the next five years due to passage of the law."

Recycling in new ways. Denim and wool insulation for use inside walls has been available for some time, but making bricks from textile waste is new to me. I read recently about the tremendous amount of textile waste that is ending up in global south - I hope this can be a viable alternative to some of that.
