附屬住房之歌 The Accessory Dwelling Unit Song🏘️🎵

This was fun to write, lyrics go from how to build an ADU to becoming a homebuilder, building ADUs in mythical lands, then back down to earth with family.

Original version is Mandarin Chinese but I've written the English translation to be singable as well!

This song was inspired by the California Department of Housing and Community Development's new Chinese-language ADU handbook, which contains info for people interested in building ADUs. It's also available in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese at

There have been basically two things keeping me from completely getting rid of facebook. One was events: now this has been replaced by Partiful, which does all the things I needed facebook events to do and doesn't do the things I don't like.

The second is maybe harder. Facebook groups. I'm never actually involved in more than 1-2 but it seems exceptionally hard to move the conversation elsewhere

The main alternate solution I've seen for a community-oriented discussion platform is Slack, which has several problems:
- less technical people often won't use it
- people who use it for work often don't want to use it
- the channel model doesn't work very well unless everyone understands the etiquette of using slack which people usually don't unless they regularly use this type of software for other reasons
- devolves into people needing to post the same message in every channel

Low-key lost it when I noticed the main image on the Wikipedia page for business casual attire is just an edit of the nude figures from the Pioneer plaque
