Why is this story here?
ContainedA single property, a C-rated heritage designation (not A or B), and a modest structural change (garage to carport). The approval or denial affects only this address and sets no precedent binding future decisions. Reversible if needed. Meets the test for bounded, genuine decision.Invisible to residentsNo resident outside the immediate household or neighbourhood witnesses this change in their ordinary week. A rear carport construction at one address in North Rosedale affects no commute, no transit, no rent, no street-level access that a typical resident experiences. Affects only the property owner and immediate neighbours' views.

Stories are ordered by how much weight a decision carries and how directly it reaches daily life. They rise as a decision date approaches and fall as they age.
