The Clock is Ticking: Bobby Nichols and the Fight for Tempe’s Soul

In this episode, we sit down with Bobby Nichols an Assistant Attorney General and candidate for Tempe City Council, to discuss the brutal reality of the local housing market. With renters making up 60% of our city, the lack of protection and stability has reached a breaking point. Bobby breaks down his consequential plan to fight back, including a rental stabilization board and a vision for the city to act as its own developer on public land. We also dive into the fragile state of civic engagement in Tempe, the 7-0 voting patterns that silence community voices, and the personal tragedies that drive Bobby’s mission to ensure time is of the essence. This is part one of a two-part interview.
