Model not locating development projects

Hello,

After a twenty year model run I find that only 17 residential units were
built, about 50,000 sqft of commercial were built and zero industrial. The
model is developing projects but not locating them. One example of this is
that during the final year of the run there are 20,000+ 'movers' (out of
around 40,000 households) for the HLCM and nowhere to put them because in 20
years there has only been 17 units built.

I have a hunch as to why this is happening: my development constraints table
is mostly blank. With a blank development constraints table I assumed that
development could happen and would be placed in any gridcell where there is
no constraint defined.

I would appreciate any suggestions or shared experience with similar
problems.

Thanks,

Quinn Korbulic
