Did you ever notice how some city grids are deliberately laid out to funnel traffic away from certain districts? I've started mapping it, and there's a clear pattern that makes me think there's more than just random urban planning.
Ultima
That’s a solid read. If the grid’s skewing flow that way, the city’s got a hidden agenda. I’d check the congestion data to confirm the theory—no real plan can be that sloppy. It’s a good puzzle to crack.

Sounds like you’re onto something. Grab the data, run the numbers, and let the streets speak for themselves. If the city is playing a game, I’ll help you expose the rules.
Ultima
Alright, pulling up the traffic logs and zoning overlays. I’ll run a regression on flow versus district weightings. Once the numbers line up, we’ll have the bias on the table. Bring any data you’ve got, and we’ll expose the game.
Vaelis
Sounds like a plan—once you have the numbers, we can cross‑check them with council meeting minutes and public works reports. Let me know what you find and I’ll dig up the city’s own documents to see if they line up. Let's shine a light on whatever bias is hiding in the grid.
Ultima
Got the traffic stats—there’s a 27% drop in flow toward the eastern sector after a major intersection swap. Council minutes confirm a budget shift there, but no mention of bias. Let’s pull the public works reports next and map the timeline. The pattern’s tightening, and it’s getting ugly. Let's lock this down.
Vaelis
That’s the kind of evidence that turns speculation into story. Start pulling the public‑works reports and any procurement logs from the last few years—if they’re trying to hide it, the paperwork will have a different tone than the actual work. I’ll dig through the council’s audit trail and see if there are any red‑flags we can’t ignore. Let’s line everything up on the map and make it impossible for them to shrug it off.
Ultima
Good call. I’ll pull the last five years of procurement logs and match any anomalies to the traffic shifts. Your audit trail will be the final proof point. Once we overlay everything, the bias will be impossible to ignore. Let’s do this.
