> Maybe a studio minihouse next to a plot of land on a foundation where we can eat, sleep, commute to work from as we build the rest of the house.

Given this, and assuming all other issues (power, water, sewer at the top of that list) are not issues... what is a realistic population density that this would support?

Based on http://default.sfplanning.org/zoning/zoning_map.pdf - how would this achieve the density of a RM2 - RM4, or RC-3 to RC-4?

In much of this area ( https://www.nickmcummins.com/index.php/2016/08/08/population... or https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-qmJMXOTT0B8/UrxtTiDlk4I/A... ) we're talking about densities in excess of 50,000 people per square mile. I don't see that being practical when one factors in things like sidewalks and roads without building up - which works against the mini house idea presented.
