Nicole Crosby

Um, so there's a whole ...

The, one of the big questions, and I think Nicole Crosby, a city council member, or candidate, brought up, like, well, they may not build the affordable housing or something.

And they were pretty quick to point out, no, like, th- that won't happen unless, you know, there's certain thresholds met.

And so the arena's first, and then the affordable housing, then the market rate.

Well, yes and no. It's a very strange sort of moment for this Flock contract, right? So, so right now there's a five to four majority that supports canceling the contract.

That is not enough to, uh, v- uh, to, uh, essentially to overturn a mayor's veto, which Todd Gloria would very likely, uh, veto this, this effort, right? Um, what happens after this election is very unclear.

Nicole Crosby, who's running in District 2 against Richard Bailey, was at that press conference holding one of those Down With Flock signs.

She, were she to win, she would replace Jen Campbell, who is one of the no votes.

And, uh, really excited to, to see what we can achieve here.

So first giving her presentation on those issues, uh, is candidate Nicole Crosby.

Thank you, Nicole.

[audience applauding]

Thank you all so much for being here.

This is quite a reprieve from the million degrees that it is outside, and that's why climate action, making sure that our communities are hardened from the future of rising sea levels, and making sure our carbon emissions are reduced.

So I'm Nicole Crosby.

I'm running for San Diego City Council District 2, and I'm running because City Hall has let working families down.

I have no idea.

Obviously, in District 2, Nicole Crosby, the Democrat- Has some sort of, has some structural advantages.

The electorate is strong Democratic.

Uh, her opponent, uh, Richard Bailey, has a history as a Republican, very recently admitted he voted for Donald Trump in 2024, and they'll make a huge deal.

What Richard and both Richard and Nicole pointed out was that in, like, PB and OB, there's far more than 1%, though, and then in other parts of the city it's far less, right? So that's just concentrated in that.

And his answer was, like, PB and OB should get to keep more of that tax revenue to make, make it better.

But her, Nicole Crosby, was like, "We need to, we need to, like, stop this all, like, this, like, vastly reform, lower the number of housing units that are set aside for vacation rentals, and even change the Mission Beach thing." And here's where, like, a little disagreement that broke out about it.

This is Richard Bailey.
