Entrevista a Jonathan Barlow sobre la campaña electoral para la alcaldía de Detroit

Original Story from Axios in English

Como alcalde, el empresario Jonathan Barlow aprovecharía su experiencia en la industria tecnológica y los emprendimientos, para darle a Detroit una visión de futuro.

En resumen: La entrevista a Axios con Barlow es la más reciente en nuestra serie artículos sobre los candidatos a la alcaldía y sus prioridades políticas.

  • Barlow y otros candidatos que no han ocupado cargos electivos buscan impulsar el gobierno municipal al ver que muchos residentes están hastiados de la política tradicional.
El empresario Jonathan Barlow anunció su candidatura a la alcaldía de Detroit el 19 de marzo en la Detroit People’s Food Co-op.

Retrospectiva: Barlow es capitalista y director de alianzas estratégicas de X Big Tech. Tiene experiencia en organización comunitaria, DEI, desarrollo web y ciberseguridad.

  • Barlow también ha trabajado como consultor en la industria del cannabis.
  • Su grupo Ciudadanos por una Reforma Sensible del Cannabis recogió firmas para apoyar a la industria del cannabis medicinal de Detroit mediante propuestas electorales exitosas en 2017.
  • Creció en Detroit, asistiendo a las reuniones de las juntas escolares en la década de 1990 con su madre, quien trabajaba en las Escuelas Públicas de Detroit.

Noticias: Barlow habló con Axios sobre cómo aprovecharía su visión de futuro para generar empleo, inversión y vivienda.

Situación actual: “Hay tantas innovaciones que no se están considerando”, afirma.

  • Una de ellas es utilizar métodos de alta tecnología para crear un portal en línea integral para los servicios municipales que no confunda ni obstaculice a los residentes.

Enfoque:  Barlow quiere crear un fondo público-privado de 500 millones de dólares para el crecimiento empresarial. Este fondo incluiría asistencia para fundadores de empresas tecnológicas, la expansión del Fondo Estratégico para Vecindarios, que busca construir corredores, y la creación de centros integrales para empresas.

  • Su objetivo es construir centros que difundan la energía innovadora que surgió en lugares como el Newlab de Corktown a otras zonas.
  • A modo de comparación, 500 millones de dólares representan el compromiso de 10 años de Dan Gilbert para mejorar sus vecindarios.

Barlow, quien ha trabajado en la administración de las escuelas públicas de Detroit y como entrenador deportivo, afirma conocer a las familias y saber cómo serán los empleos del futuro: dos elementos clave para el desarrollo de la fuerza laboral.

  • “Existe una vía completamente diferente que involucra los medios de comunicación, las redes sociales, el liderazgo intelectual y la influencia”, afirma. “Esa es una vía en sí misma que ni siquiera apoyamos como comunidad”.
  • También mencionó la movilidad espacial y aérea como vías profesionales.

Otros puntos de política en el plan de 11 páginas de Barlow incluyen:

  • Utilizar IA, incluyendo evaluaciones de tráfico y trayectoria profesional.
  • Múltiples reformas de zonificación para acelerar el desarrollo e incentivar la vivienda asequible.
  • Atraer empresas de alta tecnología e incentivar a aquellas que reubiquen sus sedes aquí.
  • Apoyo a los trabajadores, como transporte público de bajo costo, cuidado infantil y servicios de salud mental.
  • Subvenciones para modernizar viviendas para que sean energéticamente eficientes.
  • Educación sobre la generación de crédito, la elaboración de presupuestos y la planificación hipotecaria.

Contexto: Un tema central de la campaña para la alcaldía son las grandes empresas y la comunidad: equilibrar los diversos intereses y necesidades de quienes afectan y se ven afectados por la evolución de Detroit.

  • Barlow afirma que a veces las personas convierten los nuevos desarrollos en un conflicto mayor de lo necesario.
  • “Si no puedes guiar a cada familia, si no puedes regir a cada líder y llevarlos a la mesa para que entiendan qué obtienen y cómo se los valora, entonces no puedes ser un líder”.

En resumen: Cuestionamos a Barlow sobre una cualidad que aportaría como alcalde y que lo diferenciara de otros candidatos.

  • “La capacidad de atraer capital de marca”, dice. “No tienen ni idea ni relación con nadie en el mundo del entretenimiento, el cine o la tecnología que renueve la imagen de la ciudad para el siguiente capítulo”.
  • Afirma que Detroit necesita aprovechar el potencial de los habitantes que se fueron para tener carreras exitosas en el mundo del entretenimiento.
