ZoningPulse

ZoningPulse is a web app (with optional mobile companion) that monitors municipal zoning and land-use actions and translates them into practical urban-economics signals. It ingests city council agendas, planning commission packets, ordinance PDFs, and GIS layers, then flags what changed (upzoning, parking minimum removals, ADU rules, height/FAR adjustments) and estimates likely impacts on housing capacity, rents, and displacement risk at the parcel or corridor level. Users get a clean timeline of proposals, votes, and effective dates, plus a “what this means” brief with citations to source documents. The product is aimed at decision support—not academic perfection—so it focuses on fast, defensible summaries and scenario ranges rather than pretending to predict exact prices. Data quality varies by city, so coverage starts with a handful of high-signal metros and expands as ingestion pipelines mature.
