City Council Agenda Watch: Data centers, Short-term rentals, Affordable housing (July 20–July 27, 2026)

Every week, thousands of U.S. cities post agendas for the meetings where local decisions actually get made — and almost nobody reads them. We do.

This week we found 50 meetings across 27 states taking up data centers, short-term rentals, affordable housing, rezoning fights, tax increment financing, cannabis & dispensaries, solar & battery storage, annexations, police oversight, and ADUs & housing rules — all pulled from agendas posted in the last few days. Every item below links to the meeting record and the city’s full archive.
