Quotes
Officials only, in order.
The fact that the New York City Housing Authority would be sitting on upwards of 6,000 units, in some cases 10,000 units, is truly obscene. We do understand that The housing authority has been defunded over the years, and this is a critical housing stock for our city.Alexa Avilés · District 383:32

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
