   ULTRA UNRELIABLE: How a bad deal with Ve

   In pre-pandemic April 2019, Mayor Kevin Faulconer signed a Public   
   Private Partnership with Verizon, giving the Company discounted rent for   
   use of public assets and shortened permitting timeframes to deploy   
   infrastructure for the Company’s 5G wireless network. The deal was   
   initiated and negotiated by a Verizon lobbyist, entirely bypassing City   
   Council and public input.   
      
   Faulconer touted the Verizon deal saying it would “increase services and   
   expand our smart cities capabilities, at no additional costs to   
   taxpayers.”1 However, three years into the 10-year deal term, San   
   Diegans are subsidizing the buildout of Verizon’s 5G network, and   
   promised community benefits have failed to materialize, potentially   
   costing taxpayers over a million dollars.
