- peatmoss 12y agoOpen data is a good start, but not enough for people to meaningfully participate in the urban planning process. A lot of planning is informed by manual, non-reproducible, or otherwise blackbox analysis done by agencies and consultants. Hoping to make this part of a dissertation topic...
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoYeah those agencies and consultants. Our school district hired those, because school changes are laced with emotion and the school board was full of cowards. The agency googled some data, made some powerpoint slides and charged $150,000. The data was patently wrong, even to the board members. But remember, consultants are just a meat shield to protect those that hire them from criticism or accountability. So I guess it worked from the board's point of view.
