Patterns
Patterns of how people make long-term decisions about place.
Seen only when time is allowed to pass.
Recurring patterns observed across monthly records:
  • Responsibility preceding visibility
  • Homes chosen for staying, not showing
  • Trust forming before transaction
  • Leadership expressed through restraint
  • Systems felt more than seen
Patterns are not defined in advance.
They emerge only after the same choices repeat —
across places, across people, across time.
