Lake View data flatlines: no permits, service requests, or crime

Every tracked metric hit zero in May. Lake View recorded no building permits (down from 31 worth $8.9 million in April), no service requests (down from 959), and no reported crime (down from 81 incidents). New business licenses dropped to 11 from 62, including Sheridan Liquor (package goods, tobacco, food retail), Eggsperience in Lakeview, Free People, Anthropologie, Fleet Feet Sports, and skincare shop Absolute Precision. The across-the-board zeroes suggest incomplete data for the month.
