        "text": "Building a backyard cottage offers several benefits, including increasing property value, providing flexible living space for family members, or generating passive rental income. It can also serve as a dedicated home office, a guest suite, or a space for aging parents. The decision to build an ADU often involves weighing these benefits against the initial investment and the potential for increased property taxes. Homeowners in high-demand areas like Berkeley or Oakland often find the rental income potential particularly appealing.",
