Want every word Harris has said?
The OpenCity MCP for Claude.ai answers questions like “what has Harris said about housing this year” with one prompt — full speaking history, with YouTube timestamps.
Council Member Patrick Harris consistently prioritizes fiscal transparency and long-term sustainability, often challenging staff on the financial implications of tax increases, debt management, and the necessity of recurring fee hikes. Throughout his tenure, he has focused heavily on infrastructure and public services, balancing the need for modernization with concerns about resident convenience, such as his opposition to reduced recycling schedules and his advocacy for clear communication regarding city mandates. His legislative approach is marked by detailed questioning regarding the impact of new projects—ranging from ADU regulations to major water infrastructure—on neighborhood character and municipal financial health, while actively seeking regional solutions to mitigate local costs.
Motions Harris personally put forward or seconded. Attribution comes from the minutes; where the minutes name somebody we cannot match to the roster we leave it out rather than guess, so this is a floor, not a total.
