Zoning Reform Revolution: Index 65

⚠ This is a flightplan, not a commitment. Flightplans are hypothetical policy proposals modelled in the Ducklings causal simulation. They become projects only when voted into adoption through Consensus. Metrics shown reflect simulation model outputs, not real-world outcomes.

Overview

National zoning reform: elimination of single-family-only zones near transit, streamlined approvals, as-of-right development. Chain: zoning_reform_index -> housing_starts (+0.35, d6). The 6-epoch delay captures the reality that zoning changes take years to translate into actual shovels in ground. Students see why regulatory reform is necessary but insufficient alone.

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 39). The simulation models downstream effects using a BFS cascade engine with strength-weighted, time-delayed edges capped at 3-hop depth and ±25% per-hop limits. Cascade outputs are bounded by variable saturation thresholds.
