Currently, the developer workflow in the parcel model decides how many buildings to build based on numbers of target units and job spaces that are determined by vacancy rate. The user sets a desired vacancy rate, and the target number is generated from that. This isn't particularly realistic and we should eventually try to move toward ROI (return on investment) as the main control for how many buildings get built. This requires some feedback loops involving absorption rates, vacancy, etc.
This is a longer-term project that will hopefully get easier once we build out the new developer workflow.
