No, no, you don't get it. This problem must be so easy and people quite simply haven't fixed it yet. Armchair analysts on HN know better than the people / agencies working on the problem. /s

My guess is they do have (some) data, but it's split among departments, in different formats. Assuming detailed records were kept that far back.

"Armchair analysts on HN know better than the people"

You'd assume I'm an armchair analyst instead of someone that actually does civil planning work.

They have ALL of that data. It's in the damned city plats. Go pay $20 and get a copy of your neighborhood's electrical and piping. Hell you can actually look it up for free online using ARCGIS.
