Come for the policy ideas, stay for the ramblings.
Climate Justice
Global warming is not an issue that should be handled lightly. The city government needs to implement strict climate policy without any loopholes for the rich and powerful, while also working with local businesses who need support to reach emission and waste mitigation goals. Furthermore, we need to address how climate change has already disproportionately affected underprivileged communities in terms of quality of life- remedying the many ramifications to their infrastructure and public health.
Housing
The NYCHVS reports tens of thousands of vacant units across the five boroughs that are deemed “not available for rent” due to a multitude of solvable reasons. The Department of HPD should create a task force to close loopholes and remedy the issues that prevent units from being available to the people of New York City.
Mental Health and Public Safety
Mental health and addiction issues have only increased in New York City over the years, giving rise to homelessness, crimes, and other preventable problems. We need to reinstate and bolster the city funded mental health and addiction services, especially in lieu of record high poverty rates.
