Nelson Diaz may have found his hallmark in the mayoral race. On Tuesday morning, his campaign team released two planks of the Judge’s six-part social justice policy agenda, and it’s nothing less than comprehensive. In comparison, at least.

While the other mayoral candidates have released piecemeal policies on some of the issues contained here — stop-and-frisk, women’s rights, LGBT equality, et. al — Diaz has drafted an all-inclusive vision of a “just city” through a judge’s lens.

Plank four, titled “Develop Inclusive, Affordable, and Livable Communities,” addresses everything from high-quality affordable housing to local food production.

Granted, “sharing in the prosperity” has become something of a buzz-phrase. On Saturday, Diaz and other mayoral and City Council candidates talked to PA Working Families about the lack of affordable housing in revitalizing and gentrifying neighborhoods, as well as a need for more equitable new development. He doesn’t shy away from the point here, introducing his “80-20 plan”:

“We’ve lost 7,000 units of affordable housing, and have a 7-year backlog to get into PHA today. The situation is so desperate that PHA isn’t even adding more people to the waiting list. That’s not acceptable,” the agenda reads.

“I’ll fight for and pass inclusionary zoning – a requirement that at least 20 percent of new apartments in housing developments are affordable, with preferences given to current residents of the neighborhood in which the development is located.”

Diaz calls to protect homeowners by reducing the property tax burden, specifically for senior citizens and those on fixed incomes. The agenda connects housing issues to vacant land use, combatting food deserts with urban agriculture. He says he would restore traditional control over transportation networks to the mayor, and ensure that walking and biking remained not just viable, but “attractive” options for all Philly neighborhoods. There also needs to be district-oriented economic development, Diaz says, similar to what he helped do with Bloque de Oro, the 52nd Street Corridor, and the Germantown business district. The fourth plank ends by proposing for a “24/7 city,” an idea he shares somewhat with fellow mayoral candidate Doug Oliver, which would allow certain neighborhoods to keep bars, restaurants, and other attractions open into the wee hours.

Oliver and Jim Kenney are the only two other candidates with a similarly complex policy agenda on social justice, and Kenney more so than Oliver. It should be noted that as of last week Anthony Williams now has a financially thought-out education agenda.

Sure, there are lots of gray areas. Who would oversee the 80-20 plan? What constitutes an “appropriate community” to conduct 24 hour business? From a fiscal perspective, what entities would run a widespread community garden program? Diaz’s Communication Director Barry Caro fills in the gaps on that one:

“Legally, for the abandoned properties taken over, they would be used in accordance with relevant Supreme Court precedent, which means they'd almost always be owned by public authorities or by the city,” Caro said. “However, there would be partnerships that could allow them to be managed by community groups and nonprofits where appropriate...whenever possible we'd look to form partnerships that didn't require additional outlays of local taxpayer dollars. There may be cases where moderate funding is needed, but nothing that would be a budget-buster in the context of our nearly $4 billion city budget.”

These dry technical details don’t always keep the reader’s attention when reading through a candidate's policies, but it’s important to know that, when it comes to follow-up questions, the ideas withstand some interrogation.

All in all, Diaz’s vision of community — mixed-income housing, green space, local business districts, and ease of access to other communities — creates a picture of an interconnected city that hasn’t been accomplished in any other agenda so far. This “picture” is subjective, of course. But Diaz is certainly connecting a lot of dots.

In the agenda’s sixth plank, titled “Create a more just City,” the judge addresses the city’s marginalized communities under one umbrella.

Here he tackles equal pay for women, LGBT protections, immigrants’ rights, racial discrimination, and catchments for senior citizens. You’ll find some of the usual talking points on standing up to discrimination (read: end stop-and-frisk police tactics). But Diaz also introduces some untouched issues. First he offers to expand executive orders with city contractors and those receiving city subsidies  as to include more women. Then he tosses in a too-long-cold issue:

“Finally, I would significantly step up the city’s commitment to combat the scourge of human trafficking. The FBI considers Philadelphia a ‘high incidence area’...but our official response to it has been extremely muted.”

Jim Kenney’s equality platform is the only one that compares to Diaz in this regard. He promises to keep fighting for their rights as he did for 23 years as a city councilman, and that he’ll ensure “equality is not just a buzzword, but a way of life in Philadelphia.”

And while Kenney gets a lot of credit for early LGBT advocacy on City Council, Diaz also made strides in this area before it was “popular.” He hired the city’s first out LGBT City Soliticor, Romulo Diaz, and served on the first ever Pew committee to study the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the 1980s. And now in his platform, he shows up Kenney with detail in his reform tactic, proposing policies to ensure that “all city employees — especially the police — are trained in how to respectfully address LGBT-specific issues like same-sex intimate partner violence.”

Lastly, Diaz is the only bidder talking about more language access for immigrants throughout municipal departments. He has a few fresh ideas on how to provide better elder care for Philly’s senior citizens. To Diaz’s mind, all of these issues are equally connected to justice. If nothing else, his new agenda should let voters and his competition know that the Judge is no joke from a policy standpoint.

The remaining planks of the agenda will be released throughout the week.
