“When I think about a Good Neighbor Program, I’m actually thinking about the people whose minds and hearts have changed because they’ve connected or understood better all the challenges that go into addressing homelessness in this incredibly expensive city that is hard to do.”
Bevan Dufty · Commissioner · Homelessness Oversight Commission · Apr 2, 2026 · 25:13
“I wanted to ask about how robust our relationship is with the school district, because that is really the frontline for a lot of young people who, who are experiencing homelessness.”

How we identify who is speaking · blind check, pooled across five cities: of 340 commission lines drawn, 260 right, 4 wrong, 1 unclear, 75 couldn’t be judged

We identified Dufty’s voice at 10 meetings. A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Dufty was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Bevan Dufty’s name only when both agree and a code check finds the name said on, or just before, their turn. Voices our transcripts merge with someone else’s are never attributed, so every count here undercounts what Dufty said. For commissions, of 340 lines drawn, 260 were right, 4 wrong and 1 unclear, and the checkers couldn’t judge 75. We have since removed the voices behind 64 of those lines (3 wrong, 0 unclear, the rest we had already held for other reasons). Of the 276 lines we still publish, the checkers could judge 228: 226 right, 1 wrong and 1 unclear (90% lower bound 0.97). They couldn’t judge the other 48. The check is one sample pooled across the five cities, not of Dufty or of San Francisco alone.
