Multi-generational families are facing zoning problems
A growing number of families want to live in a home along with elderly parents or “boomerang” grown children – but they may run into problems with the local zoning board. Some 18% of Americans now live in a home with more than one adult generation, and that figure is growing. In many cases, what families want is a home with an “in-law” apartment – one that has a separate entrance, separate kitchen, and separate utilities.
