Good people:
Should any of you still be interested in System Dynamics (or Dynamic
Systems), I watched an interesting webinar a couple days ago on System
Dynamics and Urban Housing.  A couple take-aways:
* "Temporary" housing not only does not alleviate the difficulties but may,
in fact, make things worse.
* Key Point:  Public administrators around the world are locked into the
"bookkeeper's perspective" of collecting data (qualitative, quantitative
and GIS), failing to see how the data of their particular silo relates to
the data (and overall dynamic systems of urban places) in other departments
silos.  [Of course, you knew that, but that administrative cultural
ecosphere leads to the equivalent of "locked in" policies and processes.]

The presentations can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csp-lg4qE7w

Here's hoping you're still in the game.
