Framework for market research model

[pksohn]

As a modeler, I want to incorporate basic market research into the real estate steps.

This story is aimed at building a simple framework for market research in the parcel model. This will depend on actual model classes/components in the developer repo, which will be developed simultaneously. The parts in urbansim_parcels that will be update are:

• Add data collection step before feasibility step: collect information about vacancy, prices for all buildings, tag as year
• Add major model step for market research, including:
  • Calculate absorption for buildings built in 2019
  • Calculate absorption trends between 2016 and 2019
  • Calculate "hot" neighborhood trends based on development activity between 2017 and 2019
  • Calculate price trends between 2017 and 2020
  • Determine which buildings are candidates for feasibility analysis (send to pro forma)
• Filter input into pro forma model
• Add columns to inputs for pro forma model based on market research
• Revise developer model functionality to allow for "market based" selection

This first pass should build each of these in a simple, "placeholder" manner that works on a data roundtrip.

Those years are based on a 2017-2020 simulation run, right?

Oops, I left in the years in some places but deleted in others. Yes, based on a run including all of those years at the very least.
