Quotes
Officials only, in order.
When you were in my office, we talked a lot about the transitioning process. We talked about the Borden Street Shelter. We talked about a lot of things that we’re lacking. Also here today, we’re talking a lot about data. So I want to just go to something here.Vickie Paladino · District 1956:51rec. 2
And my observation is that most of the residents there are men, and it is my understanding it is a shelter for both men and women.Phil Wong · District 301:13:53rec. 2

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
