What am I Working On


Here's my quarterly update on new things I've been working on at work since the last update on January 17 (you can read past posts for my ground rules on these quarterly updates):

* Quantifying the stimulative effect of investment in the provision of affordable homes via construction and rehabilitation

* Examining the deleterious effect of aggressive panhandling on a city's tourism, commercial, and residential markets

* Estimating the economic and fiscal payoff for developments proposed in a vision plan for a distressed urban neighborhood

* Estimating the revenue potential of a proposed urban amenity in a city that does not currently have this particular amenity

* Providing a developer with a "jobs created" estimate as part of his application for public funds in support of his proposed development

Daniel, thanks for your kind words. Actually, only one of the five items on this list are in Philadelphia, although two others are within the region. But yes, Philly is a cool city!
