The streets of San Diego are witnessing a record-breaking increase in the number of homeless people every month. However, Mayor Richard Bailey’s effective leadership in Coronado is receiving nationwide acknowledgment for maintaining a remarkably low number of homeless individuals in his city. On 2nd March 2023, the 37-year-old Coronado mayor, Richard Bailey, asserted that his office’s no-nonsense policies had eliminated homelessness in his picturesque resort city.
The mayor implemented these policies, resulting in no homeless people in this small coastal community on the California coast. During a televised interview on Thursday (2nd March 2023), Coronado Mayor Richard Bailey, 37, asserted that his city had successfully solved California’s deteriorating homeless crisis.

As the Mayor of Coronado, Bailey has accomplished several things to protect taxpayers’ money. He reduced taxes, voted against wasteful spending, and supported reforms, resulting in Coronado earning a AAA Bond rating. In addition, Richard demonstrated leadership by setting an example for others, waiving his city pension, and voting twice against his pay raise.
While serving as Mayor, Bailey prioritized environmental initiatives by securing funds to stop sewage spills from Mexico that caused the closure of beaches in the United States, pursuing a water reclamation plant in Coronado, and launching the 1,001-tree initiative as part of a carbon capture strategy to improve air quality.
