Rot Is When Nothing Changes

Placeholder copy on why a temporary thing stays honest only while it keeps moving.

Temporary structures stay honest only while they still look headed somewhere. A hoarding up for a week reads as work in progress. The same boards up for three years, unchanged, flip from alive to abandoned — same plywood, opposite feeling.

Movement is the signal

The difference isn't polish, it's momentum: fresh notices, a recent permit, new damage over old. A wall that changes is a wall someone is still using.

Nothing here is finished. That is the whole point of showing it this early.

This bill is filler, and it says so plainly — but the wall it's pasted to is real, and the reason to put a demo online at all is to keep it moving instead of letting it calcify around one draft.
