        "text": "Adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), such as a detached unit or garage conversion, offers multiple benefits, particularly in areas like the Bay Area. ADUs can provide additional living space for family members, serve as a rental income opportunity to offset mortgage costs, or function as a dedicated home office or guest suite. They can also increase your property's overall value and flexibility.
