Party’s support baseYes |
Donald J. Lehe’s answer is based on the following data:
Agree
Yes, as long as its safe, I should be able to build whatever I want on my property
Aligns with GOP themes of individual liberty/property rights and skepticism of government red tape, while still acknowledging safety—consistent with many Republican deregulatory arguments.

Agree
No, I prefer the current permit process

Agree
No, this would overcrowd quiet single-family neighborhoods

Agree
No, this would lead to unsafe living conditions and overwhelm sewers, roads, and parking

Agree
No, this would lead to unsafe living conditions and overwhelm sewers, roads, and parking
Public-safety and infrastructure-capacity arguments resonate with GOP support for building codes and opposition to unfunded local impacts, though many would still prefer streamlined (not zero) permitting.

Slightly agree
No

Neutral
Yes, it’s a fast way to ease the housing crisis for seniors and renters
Housing-supply arguments can attract some pro-market Republicans, but framing around “housing crisis” solutions for renters/seniors is more commonly emphasized by Democrats; GOP support is mixed.

Slightly disagree
No, we should incentivize high-rise housing near transit instead
Preferring high-rise, transit-oriented development is more associated with urbanist/blue-state policy; many Republicans are skeptical of high-density planning mandates, though some pro-growth conservatives exist.

Disagree
No, and ADUs should be banned entirely
An outright ban conflicts with GOP property-rights rhetoric and market-oriented housing views, even if some local Republicans oppose ADUs; a total ban is more extreme than typical GOP positions.
