Res_Permits1216_DemoData: data I will interactively demo with. I created this data from January 2012-January 2016 building permit data from here: http://opendata.dc.gov/datasets?q=building+permits&sort_by=relevance. I've subset the data to new residential building permits only and did text analysis on the permit description field.
