Not an issue in fully "alleyed" cities.
Also, ADU does not exclusively mean "new construction in the rear yard". Some ADU programs also allow for the liberalizing of laws to make it easier for homeowners to add attic and/or garden apartments to their existing homes.

Of course.
Everyone loves the sound of "more affordable housing" in the abstract, but homeowners generally view anything that might negatively impact their own individual home's value as cancerous.
What do we want?
"More affordable housing!"
Where do we want it?
"Somewhere else!"
