"Data" in this context is whatever we read or hear from a variety of sources on a particular topic. It's not necessarily a bunch of spreadsheet stuff...we all use various types of data in all aspects of living and thinking.

You're going to try and make the argument 'if' you were Jewish???. Look up the definition ,if you don't know it.

Building more road capacity is a fool's errand. Ultimately, investing in efficient mass transit and encouraging biking and (gasp!) walking is much less expensive than slapping down more asphalt. And of course, cars have all sorts of hidden costs to society, like pollution, that don't factor into your thinking. How much...

Desperate and pathetic is when one uses a worthless word like 'troll' because they really don't have anything intelligent and of substance to say. I say that sincerely. It's laughable whenever someone uses 'troll' just because they disagree,but is pathetically to ignorant to actually have a solid argument

Your response makes clear you don't actually have any data regarding the outcome of housing costs if SW-SAZ were adopted. As I said: "I thought not."
