Quotes
Officials only, in order.
My question is really, if we were increasing the residential FAR by any other mechanism, they would be required to provide some affordable housing. And the affordable housing, the permanent affordable housing, is so much more expensive than the transit improvement. I’m just wondering how we balance those 2, those goals?Gail Benjamin · Commissioner1:21:14

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
