Quotes

Officials only, in order.

…from your perspective, why is it important that our laws reflect today’s rental market? And how does this ordinance help create more stability and predictability for both tenants and landlords?Anthony Quezada · Ward 352:09:19

Because I mean, even though they’re exempt They’re part of the ordinance, and they’re the largest landlord in the city of Chicago.Gilbert Villegas · Ward 362:21:04

And to me, if people cannot rent, that means they’re ending up homeless. So, and I thought, I thought our homeless trend based on what we’re doing was going down. So is it going up or is it going down?David Moore · Ward 172:50:12

But can you, can you address how pro, how this ordinance will help smaller landlords through an eviction process?Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth · Ward 482:56:21

How we count

Each summary sentence is checked against the transcript before it is published; in a blind check, 144 of 150 sentences were right. A voice gets an official’s name only when two AI readers and a code check agree, so the minutes undercount and are not attendance. Officials only: members of the public are counted, never named, shown or quoted, and full transcripts aren’t published because they can carry their names. More on how we know
