3. It's very very clear that she is beholden to landlords. When talking about renter protections, she talked about lowering property taxes for landlords. She made that comment about having a mortgage. She pointed to developer-friendly policies. She didn't actually talk about renters.

2b. At one point, she talked about how the encampments are a problem and they create violence and drug problems in the ward but then must've seen people reacting badly because she suddenly switched it up to be like "but they're human too." It was odd.

2. She was also trying very hard to play both sides against the middle - her strongest differentiation from Aisha is on public safety and harping on crime, but knows dehumanizing rhetoric is bad, so she tried (and failed) to walk the line of blaming the unhoused while also talking about compassion.

So, F9 is done, I've had a chance to think on it and a couple things of note:

1. Lydia was clearly trying to separate herself from Frey and explicitly said she doesn't agree with him on several things. That is a sign that associating with Frey is becoming toxic for a lot of the AOM candidates.

This was also Lydia's line. We need more developers and more units.

That's not the problem, Lydia. I don't want more of those uglyass "Luxury" units kthx

"If they are real" bro I know social workers who specifically say that losing the documents and belongings in encampments and tracking people down again after a disbursement makes their jobs much harder than it needs to be.

"the best rent control is a thirty year mortgage" is a hell of a thing to say in a ward that's majority renter.

if i could buy a house, i wouldn't need rent stabilization, LYDIA.

She called out Lydia saying that she knows business owners (Vintage Store and Iron Pub) and that what they told her is not what Lydia is sharing. They aren't leaving for safety, they can't afford it.

Aisha thanks everyone for being here. Says it’s important to show up at the local level. Local government is the first line of service and the last line of defense.
