Thank you for looking, lmk if you are interested. I am trying to move and just looking to sell. I hope this post id in the right place

Over 700,000 people live within ten miles of Santa Susana Field Laboratory in LA. Boeing owns most of it, and it's one of California's most toxic, radioactive sites.

Right now, Boeing is about to demolish buildings that were used for nuclear research—including a plutonium fuel facility that had three radioactive accidents. The catch? A 2023 lawsuit win lets them treat these buildings as regular "abandoned warehouses" and use outdated 1980s studies instead of current safety standards.

The buildings still show signs of radioactivity. Plutonium-239 can cause cancer if trace amounts are inhaled. Boeing's plan means less protective dust mitigation, thousands of tons of potentially radioactive waste going to regular recycling centers and landfills, and workers plus nearby residents breathing air that could be contaminated.

I started a petition asking Boeing to either prove these buildings aren't still radioactive—or use the safest, most protective demolition and disposal practices possible. Things like independent air monitors, community-shared test results, HEPA-filtered construction tents, and treating all debris as low-level radioactive waste.

Just because what Boeing is doing is legal doesn't mean it's safe. If this matters to you—especially if you or your family live nearby—consider signing and sharing. What would you want someone to do if this was your family?

How much should I be looking to spend for a 1000 sq ft 2 story ADU for construction only.

This would be for Tier 1 finishes - no custom finishes or high end materials.

Can it be done for $280k - $300k?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Say you have a lot in the Valley with a detached two-car garage and there's also a big tree out back.

Before paying for plans, what can I check on my own?

And also, which parts need someone to come out and measure?
