Quotes
Officials only, in order.
The question before us is simple: who is public land for? The pressure in Upper Manhattan is real. Rents have climbed, families are being pushed out, seniors are holding on month to month, and too many New Yorkers are still cycling through shelters or unstable housing because they don’t have a permanent place to land.Shaun Abreu · District 75:03

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
