Living manifesto

This is a working document: updated in public as we listen, measure results, and adjust.

How we'll govern: publish plans, publish budgets, publish progress.

How you'll participate: neighborhood visits, open office hours, and a public issue tracker you can follow at our transparency ledger.

How we'll be judged: clear targets for cleanliness, safety, response times, and affordability.
