The video, featuring Baltimore footage, wrongly implied they were abandoning the “A Place for Everyone” plan — but they clarified they’re only seeking to update it. Audience members exposed major inaccuracies in the video, including disputed police call stats and misleading cost figures. Commissioner Polian admitted the city’s budgeting is too vague to track specific homelessness spending. Though no official business was conducted — the meeting lacked quorum — the commissioners collected emails to keep the dialogue going.
