## Static versus live

- Safe to publish statically: base-area role / route role / official hotel identity/source URL / approximate area / stable history/opening notes only when sourced / caveats / stay-guide priority
- Must stay live: room availability / nightly price / user rating score / individual review count / Airbnb listing legality / condo/building rules / host license / cancellation policy / ferry/weather/event disruption / exact shuttle/transfer times
- Rental policy: Do not static-publish individual Airbnb or vacation-rental listings. Keep legality, building rules, host status, and cancellation terms as live checks.
- Suggested widgets: town/riverside/countryside chooser with road/AQI warning
