Field notes
The page is organized as three promise-versus-fine-print vignettes—small-town character, local control, and neighborhood voice—before a section on potential costs. It lists a projected defense bill above $500,000 and road-grant funding above $3 million as risks, then points readers to an HCD Technical Assistance Letter. Those figures and legal interpretations are presented by the parody page; the supplied extract does not include the letter itself.
