    ELR 78.00 — lifestyle POIs dominate; classic displacement signal.

    Action: Protect remaining essentials with right-of-first-refusal leases and inclusionary zoning.

Snapshot

A pin-drop tool that scores any street in about 30 seconds.

Heat, air, noise, flood, mobility, housing — one read, one number, a council-ready PDF on the other side.

The problem

City decisions get made faster than reports get written.

Someone in a meeting points at a street and asks 'what about that one?' — and the honest answer is usually 'we'll have to come back to you.' By then the moment is gone.

What changes

A score you can stand behind in the room.

Drop the pin while they're still talking. Read the verdict in plain English. Hand them the PDF before the meeting ends — made for live decisions, not next quarter.
