It's not just a few feet, the new 2024 golden stake is ~81 meters from where the golden stake was in 2023. It's important to shift the city every year so as not to create permanent ruts where the roads are. BMORG spent considerable effort last year flattening the playa with this contraption:

I commented about this elsewhere: Having a map of the city is extremely important for the 70,000+ inhabitants of the city. Yes, it is ephemeral, but it is still worth tracking and mapping and storing. The XML/JSON data could be stored in Github. Storage is cheap in 2024 (and getting cheaper). I'd love to be able to see the city as it's been during previous years. And if burners knew that the data was stored somewhere, it would make it worth our time to map everything. There is immense value in mapping the city and storing it for historical purposes. Some amazing memories are made in this city, and they are all worth storing and making available.
