Meet Samara

What is happening? The Founder of AirBnB has a new venture, Samara that wants to add small homes to people’s backyards. It will sell factory-produced studio and one-bedroom units to homeowners to address housing affordability, high rents, need for home offices, the need to house college age relatives, parents, aunts, uncles, etc… Multigenerational housing is on the rise in the U.S.

Why is this important? In a COVID world, people have changed their relationships with their homes.
