Parking Mandates

"I'm especially excited to see parking minimums lifted, not only because it will help build more housing, but because it is a recognition of a need to move away from car dependency."

This quote directly mentions the removal of parking minimums, which is a key element of the City of Yes For Housing Opportunity proposal. The speaker expresses support for this measure, recognizing its potential to increase housing production and reduce car dependency.


About this analysis:

This analysis is done by AI that reasons whether or not a quote from the testimony discusses a particular element of the proposal.

All the prompts and data are open and available on Github.

You can search for testimonies that mentioned a specific element in the table on the main meeting page.

When an element is explicitly stated in the testimony (e.g. "Universal Affordability Preference" or "UAP"), the analysis is accurate.

But the connection between a quote from the testimony and an element of the proposal is sometimes implicit.

In these cases, the AI might eagerly label a testimony as discussing a proposal when the connection is tenuous, or it might omit it entirely.
