Ask the Records

City

← pick one to start

Hi! 👋 I dig through council meetings, agendas, and transcripts for the South Bay's 11 cities and answer in plain English. Pick a city up top, then ask me anything: budgets, housing, parks, who voted how, what's being built.

Answers come from real council records via Stoa. Always double-check before quoting.
