Should This Get Built

Demand, studies, and feasibility. Before geometry, before concrete, before the first rendering: whether the parking is needed, how much, and whether it pencils. Eight modules follow that question from the fieldwork to the financing -- each one standalone, each ending in a Verdict, each carrying its figures, sources, and crosswalk.

Source chapters: Ch 2 (Reyes, Lee) · Ch 3 (Reyes, Elsey) · Ch 6 (Marcus, Lee, Sachs)
This part is built end to end as the working demonstration of the final product: read any module below exactly as a subscriber will.
