Rental Housing Supply: Purpose-Built + Vacancy

⚠ 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

Housing debates reached consensus on balancing affordability with climate resilience. Green Affordable Housing Fund and National Indigenous Housing Task Force were consensus proposals. Rental vacancy below 3% nationally indicates severe shortage. Purpose-built rental starts complement existing housing_starts proposals. Chain: purpose_built_rental_investment -> purpose_built_rental_starts (+0.30, d4), rental_starts -> rental_vacancy_rate (+0.15, d8).

Ducklings Simulation

This proposal is active in the Ducklings causal simulation (Epoch 71). 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.
