Priority questions

Start with the questions most connected to today’s network.

Priority question

What happens when AI growth becomes an electricity planning problem?

IEA projects global data center electricity consumption will more than double to around 945 TWh by 2030, making AI infrastructure a major energy-planning issue.

Priority question

Which forces are keeping housing affordability under pressure?

FRED's Fixed Housing Affordability Index shows affordability remains constrained, making housing a core signal linking wages, mortgage rates, supply, and migration.

Priority question

What does population growth farther from city centers reveal about future cities?

Census population estimates show growth patterns moving farther from city centers, turning migration and suburban expansion into city-system signals.
