SOUTH PASADENA, CA - SEPTEMBER 20, 2024 - Elizabeth Altounian, 75, stands inside her Kyoto-style traditional Japanese ADU in South Pasadena on September 20, 2024.

Unable to find an affordable home in Los Angeles, Alexis Altounian and her husband and kids moved into her 100-year-old childhood home in South Pasadena. Her 75-year-old mother, Elizabeth, then moved into an ADU behind the home.
