## The house-hack angle

SFH-with-ADU (Concord's ADU rebate runs up to $15,000) and room rentals to BART commuters, working the Sun Terrace edge nearest the CNWS Phase 1 anchor.

## What breaks it

-   CNWS delivers over decades: the near-term thesis is BART plus downtown infill
-   Between-stations geography: both stations sit at the ZIP edges
-   Verify lease-up on the downtown projects before crediting the pipeline
