I should note that Palo Alto councilmembers have *zero* problem with people tearing down tri and fourplexes and replacing them with McMansions, so it should be incredibly entertaining to see what happens when someone tries the opposite

Replying to @cafedujord
At least that's illegal in RM-20/RM-30/RM-40 if it violates the minimum unit density (see codelibrary.amlegal.com/code… Table 2, including footnote 8). (This was from the 2018 Housing Work Plan ordinance, passed by council on 2019-04-01.)
