@ipsquiggle Golden Gates by Conor Dougherty is a great intro to some of the characters and stories of urbanism politics in California, but maybe not as useful for game design.
If the "models and systems" you're interested in are political, try Local Interests by Sarah Anzia. If they are economic, maybe Shut Out by Kevin Erdmann (quirky, maybe wrong, but interesting). If they are legal, try The Color of Law by Richard Rothstein.

@abarker@mast.hpc.social Cool, thank you for the variety! I think it's good to approach this kind of thing from lots of angles, you never know what will trigger an inspiration or novel approach! Plus a good education is well rounded... :D
