Please explain why this would not work.

I wish it would.

I can think of a couple of practical difficulties:

– Who determines the model that determines “highest and best”? Politicians would get involved, and you’d have all kinds of idiocy baked into the model that favored one group over the other. You can bet that “highest and best” would have little to do with “what gets the most money”.

– If there’s one thing I know about big software projects, it’s that they get delivered late and seldom do what they’re supposed to. By the time a decent system came online, we’d be well into the next housing boom.

I see where you’re coming from, but building a whole new infrastructure around a temporary problem doesn’t make a lot of sense. Things will eventually return to business as usual.
