North Arlington,

Good news! Accessory dwellings will actually increase your property value. You see it's not your house (i.e. the building) that is valuable its the land. The house is just a consumer good,like a really big washing machine. Over time the building will start to lose value as it ages and begins to break down from wear. Your land is the investment part of what you bought and by allowing you or anyone to whom you sell it to add a building or addition that brings in revenue will make your land more valuable not less.

Now,I imagine you think your property value is going to go down because you believe it will incite the unshaven hordes of renters to descend upon your little hamlet like a zombie apocalypse leaving PBR cans,trucker hats and prophylactics strewn about. I've got more good news! Once again you are mistaken! You see,contrary to popular belief,renters are actually people. Like you! As a renter myself I dispose of my waste through the municipal trash system,smile at neighbors and babies in my neighborhood,and don't go outside without wearing pants. You know,normal people stuff. You don't need to be afraid of us.

I'm sure you're relieved to hear your worst fears are unfounded! Your welcome!
