Proving "iff" seems like you would have to also prove the converse is false, which seems impossible since it's a counterfactual

@spiderduckpig In recognition of the fact that logical connectives can be complicated to reason about, I included a plain English description of how this would resolve in the market description, along with a link to the Wikipedia page which includes a fully-specified truth table.

Are there any scenarios in which you're unclear as to how this question will resolve? If so I would be happy to explain how it will resolve.

If you're curious about how to price it, my advice would be this:

If the two underlying questions are unrelated, this market should be priced at approximately (a*b + (1-a)*(1-b)). At current pricing of 62% for more housing and 77% for a Zohran win, that's about 0.56 for this market. A higher price (currently this market is at 63%) says the market thinks Zohran is mildly more likely to get more housing built than not-Zohran (presumably Adams).
