​​☆The Issues☆

---

Homelessness

​​Bo has addressed this issue in three main ideas that he plans to carry out:

• Bo acknowledges the families living in hotels, in which the prices to reside in rose to ​over 130,000 per day, and plans to increase the rent for residents who occupy multi-bedroom apartments, but had children that have moved out. Those who cooperate and move out will receive a choice of a one-bedroom apartment in which the rent is significantly less and receive a voucher to cover moving expenses.
• Bo will adopt a review policy for the New York Housing Authority, in which tenants who started with low wage jobs who have advanced their careers, but still reside in low-income housing, will be urged to move so that these houses can be offered to homeless families.
• ​Bo will give new purpose to institutional shelters by transforming them into family shelters. In moving homeless families to shelters such as the ​Bo will give new purpose to institutional shelters by transforming them into family shelters. In relocating homeless families to shelters such as the HRA men’s shelter, they will be free of costly hotel expenses and also receive meals and 24 hour daycare service at little to no cost.

Education​

There is currently still an achievement gap between minorities and white students. Bo Dietl wants to put policies in action in order to make a change.

• Bo will organize and fund free tutorials for children whose teachers and principals recommend them to attend the city's elite high schools such as Stuyvesant and Bronx Science to ensure these schools maintain their high standards but also expand their ethnic and racial diversity.
• Bo would like to change how quickly the students or parents are notified of the student failing or struggling in certain topics.

Crime and Policing

Bo Dietl wants to devote time to making sure that the citizens feel connected to the NYPD and ensure safety.

• With De Blasio in office, crime is at/or near record lows
• 96% of members feel the relationship between the NYPD and the public has worsened in recent years. 
• Bo plans to waive the college requirement that is currently required to join the force so that more of the youth could be involved with the safety of their city.
• Rather than De Blasio's closing of Rikers, there can be implement programs to help bridge the divide between the community and the NYPD.

The Transit System

As MTA fare has been increasing, the quality of the service has been deteriorating. Bo Dietl is here to put an end to that.

• Bo Dietl promises to provide an MTA subsidy to full-time workers in NY.
• Implement a commuter tax on drivers entering the city, and use the revenues from that to subsidize MetroCards for full-time workers making less that $20K a year.
• Direct funds from the city's $4 billion surplus into the MTA's capital budget to "accelerate infrastructure projects" This rather than the de Blasio plan of taking 1% to fund the MTA.

Public Health

Bo presents a simple proposal in order to regulate the health of the general public:

• Create better healthcare programs
• Create general support programs, mostly geared towards veterans
• Keep current with OSHA, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, regulations to assure that workers have a safe working environment

Pollution

In order to reduce the amount of pollution in nyc, Bo feels that we should:

• Convert forms of transportation such as cars and buses to electric energy
• Enforce a tax on plastic shopping bags
• Encourage use of renewable energy through tax of businesses and form programs that educate citizens on how to prevent pollution

Property Taxes

Bo's plans for property tax go in hand with plans for affordable housing:

• Bo plans to create a land bank under the administration of non-profit and religious organizations that are responsible for developing land with affordable housing
• Build upon the nation's tax code to support spending on this project, or incentivize
• Form a zero-coupon bond in which, unlike a typical bond, the bond does not have to pay interest and is at a deep discount
