https://api.openpublica.com/mcp● LIVEA general plan is the document a council votes against: the housing, land use, safety and circulation rules a city has already adopted. We read them page by page, so every passage cites the page of the city's own PDF, and say plainly which elements we have not found yet.
Built by Isaac Torres, a software engineer in California, to handle the processing so you don't have to. Accountability starts with access. If there's a city you'd like to see covered, reach out.
