This is true, yeah. I didn't know they were standalone units, which would be counterproductive with regards to saving money.

Maybe there's some zoning issue at hand, though.

    Zoning is generally the #1 problem in regards to housing, though mostly as a result. It's the NIMBY movement as a root cause and the reason why such strict zoning is even a thing.
