Does Marcone have Little Chicago?

On that basis Harry couldn’t practically build LC, but could build something smaller.

Yes, but would it be worth the time and effort? 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Oh yes, for example the immediate neighbourhood around the Castle, and Demonreach both would be capable of being modelled, the former creating an outer perimeter for Harry’s defences and the latter allowing him to contact Alfred and/or operate Demonreach remotely.

  Harry doesn't need to spend that much time or effort... It will cost him heavily in pizza, but he has the little people on his side and they will let him know if anything is amiss and track or spy..

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Not with Demonreach, and Harry eventually wants Maggie to live at the Castle. We know he is bringing In Gargoyles, so creating an out perimeter defence that can be operated safely from the Castle makes sense, as does providing protection for his neighbours.

If that were true it would be pointless to even have begun the construction of LC in the first place. At the time of construction Harry didn't have the time or resources to update LC weekly, if he had to do it daily to keep it functional that would be his full-time job. Google Maps or an equivalent would be the starting template but after that you only need to track construction and demolition of large scale not every time someone builds a new fence or deck.

Just during the rebuilding after the Battle of Chicago.
The battle itself would have ruined LC; some sections would have been rebuilt the same, but many would have been built with completely-new buildings &c.

While that was going on, LC would have been very tough to keep updated.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

A smaller neighbourhood surrounding the Castle would be easier to manage,  it suffered less total building damage than say the Gold Coast.

  But it is not needed when he has hundreds of little motes of light that go unnoticed to keep an eye on things..

The little folk are oft distracted and as Cold Days shows not all of them accept the way of the Za Lord.

LC wasn’t just a monitoring device, it could have been utilised as a weapon extending the castles defences outwards to protect irs approaches and neighbourhood.

But it has flaws, as we saw, it can be broken..

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Smaller set-ups would likely be much more stable and easier to maintain, LC is VERY ambitious.
