fix: a coarse lot is a parcel, not a 700 m building

The unidentified slab on downtown San Francisco was the lot ladder's
own coarsest rung. Tower fill of 1.5–2.2 assembles a Salesforce-shaped
site from 40 m lots; on a 400 m lot it is a 600–880 m cube, rotated
with the district's street grid, downtown palette. The same pose on
the Bay Area board uses 40 m lots and does not show it.

Cap both axes at NEIGHBOURHOOD_LOT_METRES. Fine rungs are unchanged
because 40 m and 80 m already sit under the cap. The test that would
have named this on the first photograph now exists.
