The plan
Concrete commitments, not slogans. Here is what an at-large Council office will do on housing, safety, schools, small business and the waterfront.
Three goals come first
Before anything else, these are the three goals Carlos Giraldo will fight for on City Council.
Keep housing within reach. Improve Turn the Key, use available City property, and address unlawful occupancy through lawful processes.

Real investment in the things that prevent violence, alongside police who are accountable and actually present.
The Delaware riverfront is one of Philadelphia's greatest assets. It should serve the neighborhoods behind it, not just the parcels on it.
The corridor stores are the neighborhood economy. Make it easier to open, easier to stay, and cheaper to fix the storefront.
Buildings that are safe to be in, open when families need them, and staffed by people who are paid to stay.
Trash picked up on schedule, illegal dumping prosecuted, potholes filled, and a Council office that answers the phone.
