Why is garage conversion different in Central San Diego?

In the City of San Diego and La Mesa, older neighborhoods are full of detached garages that were built for a different era of car culture and often sit underused behind bungalows and ranch homes. Garage conversions here tap into dense corridors where rental demand is steady and the city's streamlined ADU permitting process has made the path to approval more predictable than it used to be. For homeowners on long-held properties, converting a garage is often the fastest way to add income without altering the character of the neighborhood.
