Dear CFTC,
I am an urban planner in Charlotte's progressive cityscape, Kalshi's election markets that have an impact on urban development and parallel policies could offer transformative insights into infrastructure projects, housing policies, and sustainable growth strategies. These markets could provide predictive analytics on transit initiatives, environmental regulations, and community development plans. For instance, forecasting policy impacts could inform decisions on affordable housing projects and transportation upgrades. The potential approval of these markets by the CFTC is instrumental in advancing sustainable urban planning practices, promoting equitable development, and reinforcing Charlotte's commitment to environmental stewardship and livability.
Imagine the benefits of having predictive insights into proposed transit initiatives. Urban planners could better allocate resources, design more efficient transit routes, and address potential environmental concerns proactively. Similarly, insights into housing policy changes could help developers and city officials plan for affordable housing projects, ensuring that growth does not come at the expense of housing accessibility. These markets could also forecast the impact of environmental regulations, allowing for more effective and sustainable urban development. I am calling for a vote against the proposed rule so that these markets can support the city's sustainable development goals and ensure a bright future for Charlotte's residents. Thank you for your attention.
Bradley
