        "text": "Choosing between a detached ADU and an attached conversion depends on your property layout, budget, and desired level of privacy. A detached ADU typically offers more independence and privacy for occupants, and potentially greater rental value. A conversion, like transforming a garage, might be more cost-effective and quicker to complete, leveraging existing structures and utilities. Consider factors such as available space, noise transfer, and long-term family needs when making this decision.",
