This is an impressive level of transparency. Usually when you get government "transparency" it is in the form of a PDF of poorly photocopied documents as images which are effectively useless from a analysis standpoint, unless you have many humans ready to read/transcribe.
The fact that it's in a modern data-friendly format, is super impressive. I would have been happy if they'd even managed to put it in a CSV without headers

Of the largest 20 cities in the US, all but one have open data sites where you can programmatically pull down datasets. I feel like this is more becoming the norm rather than the exception. Maybe it's just smaller municipalities that don't have open data sites?
