In many cities in CA (and around the US) you can't do that.

There are "anti-poor-people" laws, restricting the minimum lot size (in some cases, 1 acre in certain areas of Mountain View, for example), and restricting the number of SFU you can build in a single lot to 1.

I grew up in a town with one of those so-called "anti-poor-people" laws, with the minimum lot size being set to 1 acre. Except it was more to make sure that the area stays rural than it was to discriminate against poor people (plenty of whom did and still do live there).
