Shempatolla, I don't think anyone here is advocating the encouragement for people to "cram as many units as possible into existing homes", nor to create "slip shod, substandard duplexes and triplexes" nor to "grandfather current substandard conversions" as-is without improvements.

What some of us are saying is: 1. We need to create a process based on logic and safety for future conversions in order to reduce the instances of "cramming". 2. We need to eliminate the unnecessary road blocks that prevent landlords from doing proper conversions. 3. We need to come up with an approach that will encourage owners of existing substandard conversions to take initiative to bring their units up to a reasonable standard.

If we don't do something, we will just see more and more conversions meeting NO standard, and the current stock of crappy ones getting worse.

I vote down for offensiveness and up for humour. I cast no votes based on my level of agreement.
