§01 · The problem
“The sign on the pole says four things at once. The one above it contradicts the one below it. A ticket costs more than dinner. Nobody’s reading them — and that’s the business.”
§02 · What it does
Three answers, one map.
Built on real data — not crowd guesses, not screenshots, not someone’s old PDF.
