- Berkeley residents following city budgets
- Worth noticing
- A city request opens a prefilled GitHub issue, and the project says it prioritizes future cities by requests.
Field notes
Readers can move from the per-$100 overview into revenue, the deficit, departments, or ballot questions; sample prompts include the effect of Measure V and a department-by-department account of proposed cuts. The site also offers Sources & methods, a glossary, downloadable data, and a public correction route, while city requests open prefilled GitHub issues; its stated order for adding cities is based on those requests.
