Homelessness“For HSH, I’m— great news with expansions and so forth. I just want to reiterate something we passed as a recommendation at our last meeting, and that any time-limited subsidy provide good assessment of the clients prior to their time limit, with creation of options that they may have so that we don’t have people leaving for homelessness.”Scott WaltonMember · Our City Our Home Oversight Committee · Jun 5, 2026 · 26:32Play at 26:32
“Currently, I think everybody on the committee is on a 2-year term. Would that automatically jump to 3, or would we wait till the next renewal? Or is that undecided at this time?”Scott WaltonMember · Our City Our Home Oversight Committee · Aug 27, 2026 · 45:13Play at 45:13
“…with the unallocated funds, as you work with the mayor’s office to propose things, is it possible for this committee to be informed of those proposals prior to decisions being made so that if we want to weigh in, we can?”Scott WaltonMember · Our City Our Home Oversight Committee · Feb 26, 2026 · 47:29Play at 47:29

How we identify who is speaking · blind check, pooled across five cities: of 410 council lines drawn, 352 right, 0 wrong, 1 unclear, 57 couldn’t be judged

We identified Walton’s voice at seven meetings. A meeting missing here means we couldn’t attribute the voice, not that Walton was absent. Claude and Gemini each read every transcript with that day’s roster. A voice gets Scott Walton’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 Walton said. For councils and their committees, of 410 lines drawn, 352 were right, 0 wrong and 1 unclear, and the checkers couldn’t judge 57. We have since removed the voices behind 110 of those lines (0 wrong, 1 unclear, the rest we had already held for other reasons). Of the 300 lines we still publish, the checkers could judge 268: all 268 right (90% lower bound 0.99). They couldn’t judge the other 32. The check is one sample pooled across the five cities, not of Walton or of San Francisco alone.
