Over the summer, I worked at an urban planning think tank in Trenton, NJ called New Jersey Future, which advises the state of New Jersey in areas of public policy. For NJF and the Princeton University Community Based Learning Initative (CBLI), I did economic, statistical research using the New Jersey Legislative Date Book maintained by Rutgers University. I wrote two blog posts on the NJF site describing some of the results of my research. You can read the second post, concerning the leveling effect of the Recession on residential development, here.
