It’s better to be a growing city than a decaying one. Regardless, Nashville’s got a decision to make: 1.) legalize more homes for new neighbors, or 2.) claim there’s nothing we can do as traffic to the suburbs gets worse while existing homes in the city get ever more expensive.

I've only circled three candidates for At-Large Council on my sample ballot. Who are the pro-housing candidates who are going to legalize building more market-rate housing in Nashville's neighborhoods, not just apartments on the pikes?

@the_transit_guy A boatload of housing. Talking like 20,000 units. A replacement for Nashville’s aging Performing Arts Center. A grocery store, a park w/ a playground. Protected bikeways, including on the Woodland Street bridge. Multiple pedestrian-first plazas. And honestly, a new Titans stadium

The NEST bills mean that instead of a $1.4M 1 family house, a developer can build a 4plex where each unit costs ~$500k Not every lot in the city would get a 4plex, but each add’l attainable unit means fewer flips of currently affordable houses in Madison or by Brick Church Pike!

@WhelanHealth In reality, 74% of Nashvillians strongly agree with investing in transit and 73% of Nashvillians feel that a range of housing options & price points need to be in every neighborhood!

We love a new sidewalk, especially when it connects neighborhood schools and transit. Here’s to funding more sidewalks as part of the mayor’s transit referendum!

Stratford Ave from Gallatin Pike to Kennedy Ave has a new sidewalk! This sidewalk provides residents with connectivity to Dan Mills Elementary & to multiple @WeGoTransit stops. The repaving of the road is set to begin this week, weather dependent. 🔗

Flew a kite today. Rode the bike with the toddler to Cornelia Fort Airpark. Waved at over a dozen neighbors and there were zero tears trying to get the toddler into the bike seat. Beautiful evening.

@NashUrbanPlanet this is awesome. the 3 bus line runs every 10 minutes to this intersection during rush hour. those 500 additional units are sorely needed, and the amenities look great. honestly want to see way more of this!

@pushtheneedle They're pretty, and I love that owners are preserving them, but yeah the government shouldn't mandate these houses' preservation.

Legalizing this in our Nashville neighborhoods near bus routes would work great to provide more housing options while looking great in the context of existing homes.

Well-deserved! People in Nashville love neighborhood commercial nodes, and I count myself lucky to live down the road from Riverside Village. Nashville's future zoning revisions should consider how we legalize more neighborhoods to have this amenity. @NashvilleNext @MetroNashPlan

@aaronharris I'd rather put our city's $750M towards a single light rail line from the airport to Broadway than a brand new Superdome.

@theregoeshappy @stacyfmitchell Big box retailers aren't creating consumption out of thin air: the shoppers in these stores would have shopped elsewhere (smaller boxes, local businesses, etc.), which also create jobs and employ people. I'd guess that big box stores eliminate jobs because they're more efficient.

2022 was a jam-packed year but a good one all-in. Bought a new AC unit. Traveled to Texas, Florida, Michigan. Said goodbye to a few of our broader family, added a few more. But most importantly, we started with a 1 month old, now we have a 1 year old (who I’m trying to bike-pill)

Fatherhood is incredible. Today the 7 week old burped up what seemed like half a bottle and then while I’m frantically trying to clean us both up she just gives me the biggest grin and I just stopped - like I literally couldn’t be bothered by any of it anymore. I love her so much

70+ and 80+ grandparents become trapped in their isolated detached homes when they cannot drive - leading to things like this. We’ve gotta build an environment that gives other options.

The best part of the bike ride home was talking to a fellow bicycle commuter, a dad with a 9-month-old baby, thinking about a bicycle with room for a child seat. I never have those kinds of conversations with fellow commuters when I drive.

Crispy 50° day for alternative transportation to and from work. Got a little fresh air and exercise. Instead of a 20-25 minute car commute, getting home took me 32 minutes.
