SF Inner Sunset Granny Flat (SF JADU)
San Francisco, California
San Francisco Attached Granny Unit (JADU) in Sunset: this city lot has a 1948 single-family, two-story-over-garage in Inner Sunset. RH-1 zoning. A JADU within the main dwelling would add so much value. The garage-level layout naturally suggests a 500-sq-ft JADU carve-out, which is exactly what SF's JADU code allows (within an existing SFD, sharing utilities with the main house).
Bainbridge Wooden Home by the water WA
Bainbridge Island, Washington
Modern wooden home in Bainbridge Island WA: 0.65-acre vacant buildable lot — ideal because there's no existing structure or current resident, and it's actively marketed. Pure greenfield "describe your house, get permit-ready plans" demo, no demolition or remodel narrative to manage. Bainbridge's R-0.4 / R-1 residential zones allow detached single-family with a DADU as a bonus story beat if you want to layer that in.
Missing-Middle Gentle Apartment Building on College Av
Berkeley, California
Missing-Middle (gentle density) apartment building on Berkeley's mixed-use artery Colleve Avenue. The City of Berkeley's planning staff has publicly identified exactly three sites on College Avenue as the most likely redevelopment candidates under the Berkeley Corridors Zoning Update — and 2887 College is the one. It's the strip mall anchored by the 7-Eleven at College and Russell, sitting on a deep commercial parcel in the Elmwood. City Council signaled support in November 2025 for raising the height cap on College Avenue, with a vocal contingent pushing for as many as seven stories. Even at the more conservative end of the proposal, the site comfortably accommodates a 3–4 story missing-middle building of roughly 15–30 units.

Jurisdictional intelligence
Why this is hard — the land-to-build problem in three pieces
Why off-the-shelf tools don’t get you to a permit.
Permitting is fragmented
Every county, city and special district has its own rules — often written for plan-checkers, not owners.
Buildability is opaque
Setbacks, slope, easements, hazards, septic, utilities — the answer to ‘what fits here?’ lives across a dozen sources.
Existing tools are built for specialists
GIS, CAD and code-search tools assume you already know what you’re looking for. Most owners don’t.
