Why I'm doing this
If you've watched a home slide out of reach, for your kids or for you, this is where I lay out why. I'm building an ADU in Post Falls and documenting all of it, and this series is the bigger picture behind it: my own family, the housing squeeze a lot of us are feeling, and whether building more actually helps. It's meant to be read from the start.
