Costa Mesa facts that should change the case review

- Use treatment bridge headings that explain why camera-retention request or triage record belongs in the first evidence review.
- Let I-405, CA-55, CA-73 and South Coast Metro, Mesa Verde, Eastside Costa Mesa, Westside decide whether the next local comparison should be a city page, nearby area, or resource guide.
