NARRAGANSETT Senate Majority Leader Michael McCaffrey has been on both sides of the fight to allow homeowners to build in-law apartments on their properties for their elderly and, in some cases, ailing relatives.
In two years, he s gone from champion to not-so-happy neighbor of a proposed accessory family dwelling unit next door to his summer home in Narragansett.
The law was hailed at the time as a key piece in the Senate s “Building a More Vibrant Rhode Island” package and a way to address the state s housing-affordability crisis.
Now McCaffrey, who represents Warwick at the State House, is fighting the effort of his summer neighbors in Narragansett to expand their detached garage to build a living space for the husband s 98-year-old father.
