Don’t get me wrong, nobody loves ADUs more than me (I’ve benefited greatly from them) but in fairness to neighbors best sight unseen, or as unseen as possible.
True, this is where a talented designer/architect can really add value
If you do ADU on the side yard then you get a relaxed side setback . So for Sunnyvale for example rather than 8’ you only need to leave 4’ . The idea is to make only 400 Sq feet ADU. Even though get approvel for 800 Sq feet FAR exception and thus enabling you to build on top of the AdU but then since the ADU is connected to the house you can reclaim and rent out only 400-500 Sq feet of the house . The rent maximizes at 400-500 Sq feet for let’s 2500-3000 therefore there is no use renting the entire 800 Sq feet .
The ADU can just look as the part of the house and giving it much more wider width

Man, that first house in the midst of Mission San Jose schools… Cha-ching!!!
Mino way house made $1M @66% in 3 years!
Added later:
% wise the growth seems to be similar to other Bay Area locations.
I was visiting my Fremont home today to check on it and pick up my rent and while driving through I could see myself moving there as my possible next phase.

Realtor quote on this house:
Intero Real Estate Services real estate agent Eddie Oberoi, who listed the property. “The majority of buyers (in this neighborhood) are busy professionals coming from the tech world,” he said. “They ideally want a turnkey.” Oberoi observed that over the course of the pandemic many homebuyers opted to spend more money than they’d originally thought they would on homes. “People are not traveling as much anymore, and even if they were on a shoestring budget back in the day, now… they are just opening up their wallets,” he said. Buyers in this particular region are looking for convenience to work, outdoor space, and family-oriented neighborhoods, like newer developments such as Patterson. This house was appealing, he said, because it checked all the boxes, with updates throughout the house, multiple outdoor entertaining spaces, a spacious kitchen and a large master suite. “Everybody wants new,” he said. “Time is money for them.”

I guess this is called a 'Contractor’s delight? Photos show that lot of work for the contractor. To make profit he/she will have to add square footage.

That is a lot of work to squeeze out some profit (hopefully) in granted Mission San Jose…
