Living systems wait for the parcel
Context
Where and how we live on the land — dwelling, power, water, connection. The model gives the options at each tier (see infrastructure).
Decision (deferred)
No specific choices yet. Dwelling type, power setup, and water systems all depend on the actual parcel — what it has, what it allows, and its water story. The model's options stand as the menu.
Why
These are site-shaped decisions; making them before there is a site would only be undone.
Constraints
Budget puts the dwelling as the second-largest cost after land; everything else stays minimal.
Revisit when
A site is secured and its buildings, water, and grid access are known.
