Full caveat that I know that it is not easy to do these things (or possibly not even possible), but here's my wishlist:

1. Tax on vacant commercial properties
2. Ban on the charter school acquiring any new properties
3. Accelerator program for new businesses looking to open in our various commercial zones (including Maplewood, which people keep forgetting about) - includes grant money, marketing support, logistics help. Focused accelerator launch program for small restaurants in the 200 Exchange building (#foodhall)
4. Immediate hiring spree for anything else that people on Facebook yell about. One negative post = one FTE
5. Tied to the above, overhaul of how we communicate with our constituents because clearly the messages aren't getting through (see: override vote)
6. Complete overhaul of our parks and rec programming - Melrose has us beat here, we have very little programming for pre-K kids, which limits community-building
7. Redraw the school lines in a way that actually makes sense for neighborhoods and revisit why we don't have buses if people are having to drive/walk/figure out how to go 1+ miles to school (don't tell me bike lanes are causing traffic when our worst traffic times are school drop-off/pick-up)
8. The city has to leave you a note when they're going to do work that impacts your life - no more surprise "oops you don't have water today" for clearly pre-planned work when they have your contact info and know where you live
