Representation Summary:

I do find the SHMA hard to follow. I don't see how employment growth is linked to the need for a growth in housing. Also in the SHMA it states that the increased level of unemployment over the past few years has seen an increase in the need for social housing which makes sense, but how is building more social housing going to help build the local economy? Also, the problem with using these models is that the assumptions they make mean that none of the outcomes are likely.
