Heard of it, haven't seen it.  Just guest houses or separate sections of the main home.

There is a lot of discussion about this type of housing.  As far as I know, nothing has been decided.  Zoning issues.

No I have not been in one, and no I have never heard of a 'Granny Pod'!!  Apparently it is one way to care for aging parents on one's property, if I understand it correctly?  I do not know about current zoning for that particular type of building, though do know, that some homes here have casitas, which could be used for grandparents or teenagers Buzz Mackintosh

Yes I have heard & know they are acceptable but have not gotten inside one.

There was also a tiny house that you could build from 84 Lumber in our area that is 98 sq feet. Comes with wheels & a trailer if you want. You build it or have them build it.
