My essay, Beyond “Data Good” or “Data Bad” (please permit the facetious title!), explores how I approach novel forms of data analysis as part of a more pluralistic set of methodologies. I discuss how this perspective has shaped much of my work over the past several years.

Absolutely no mention of additional zoning reforms or anything about bolstering housing production other than 'experts say more production helps to lower costs.' It's honestly disappointing for a former HUD chief and governor, who's spent 30 years on these issues -- drive.google.com/file/d/1HyUV...
