I'm more used to the police and National Parks Service systematically underestimating crowds at anything political, and news stories saying things like "the organizers estimate there were X people, and the police say smaller number Y."

Pride had felt much less political in the 2010s than in the 1980s and '90s, so maybe it's been getting "look how many tourists show up for this festival" estimates. This is the first year in a long time when it felt like a mayor was showing that she's on our side, not just looking for votes.
