Editing DS4UX (Spring 2016)/Building permits (section)

== Charting new construction by month ==
;Question: Has the rate of residential construction increased since 2010?

Now we want to learn whether there is, in fact, a housing boom in Seattle. We'll do this by counting how many new permits are issued each month, and then plot these on a graph.

Run the script <pre>residential_permits_by_month.py</pre>

Now open up the CSV output file and check your data. Does this look right to you?

;Challenge question: how could we separate out single family homes from apartments, and count/plot them separately?
