The Bay Dashboard is an independent, student-built civic dashboard that gathers scattered public planning records across all 101 Bay Area cities, what's being built near you, which board decides it, and when it meets, into one resident-facing tracker with plain-English meeting summaries. Built from official sources (city GIS pipelines, Legistar meeting feeds, California HCD housing-target data, Census ACS, Zillow research), it adds a project register, a board-meeting finder and summarizer, email briefings, an "ask a question" assistant, and an experimental housing-delivery scenario simulator, while stating openly it's a prototype, not an official government product.
