Mayoral Election: This seems like a fairly relevant conflict of interest

For those who haven't read the article (https://santacruzlocal.org/2026/04/17/seven-story-affordable-housing-proposed-next-to-palomar-inn/), it's worth a gander.
Like many, I take issue with Coonerty's big tech backing and PredPol inclinations. But donations are legal and being pro PredPol is his opinion to have, I guess.
This, however, is just such an acute conflict of interest, it's hard to spin any other way. Especially with city votes needed to cede part of the land and his paid consultancy.
Just.... yikes.
