Rationale

Phase 2 of Calgary's growth investment: more sworn officers -> faster response times; road maintenance -> road condition; library expansion -> literacy; rec facilities -> physical activity; planning -> housing starts. Five municipal services, five community outcomes.

Details

Epoch: 51

Domain: municipal

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $0.50B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): -$1.69B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • −$7.19B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via calgary_physical_activity
  • +$5.50B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via housing_starts

Causal effects: 5 downstream variables affected (1 immediate)

Divergence after: 1,508.277
