After Decades Of Pushback, The Washington Football Team Is Retiring Its Name
After years of protest, Washington’s NFL team is officially changing the name.
A design of a garage converted into an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in D.C.
This week, the Montgomery County Council voted to loosen regulations for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) despite a small but vocal opposition from some residents.
WAMU’s business reporter, Ally Schweitzer, framed the issue this way: “How can jurisdictions balance the needs of a growing population without alienating existing residents who believe change threatens their quality of life?”
Can more ADUs help address affordable housing issues in the region? How do local zoning laws impact what can be built — and where? Do ADUs change the “character” of a neighborhood? Plus, we’ll have a local architect answer all your burning questions about what it takes to design and build an ADU.
