And I also had the pleasure in helping to award the @casaucl.bsky.social prize for spatial analysis, in memory of Sinesio Alves Junior, with @adamdennett.bsky.social and other CASA researchers, to the well deserving @chris-larkin.bsky.social for his PhD work on cycling and low traffic neighbourhoods

Thanks Alex! Oh, if only it were just a lottery for over subscription. It's way more crazy! We've got a visual explainer on our webpage here (half way down - also in the video) - www.parentsupport.group - essentially a policy to deliberately displace hundereds kids from their local schools.

In the old days (i.e. 2001 Census when I was working on that) they applied a 'small-cell-perturbation' methodology which randomly swapped all flows of 1&2 with 0&3. Let to lots of very dodgy flows at small area. Looks like it could be an evolution of that. @oliverdw.bsky.social will know the answer!

If you're interested in the analysis underpinning it, it's probably all I'll be talking about at conferences next year! However, to preview, the analysis is in 3 parts: 1) adamdennett.github.io/BH_Secondary..., 2) adamdennett.github.io/BH_Schools_2... & 3) adamdennett.github.io/BH_Schools_2...

Yeah, not seen it yet either - looks ace! And by track 3, I was back at Warning in the Cambridge Junction in about 2002, walking into the main room, preparing to dance my brains out until reality intervened again at some point the next day!

How much?! Ffs! If we charged that for CUPUM we'd be able to retire to a tropical island! Well, assuming more than 1 very rich person turned up, which is the more likely scenario!

Fascinating chart - thanks! So the dampening effect of increased supply far outstripped by demand fuelled by income and availability of credit. Really interesting that - and I guess tenure shift towards ownership really supercharging the effect further

Even though we're lagging behind, dwellings per person still on an upward trend since the 1960s - which begs the question why affordability is so much worse? Some mix of unequal distribution, tenure issues and a poor dwelling / household match (old retirees in massive family homes, etc.)?
