We diminish the value of everyone outside a car. We expect them to wait longer, wear special gear, constrain & limit themselves in the name of “safety,” so that people comfortably seated in individual metal boxes can drive faster & stop less. Driver convenience > human dignity.

Entitled much? Tony G. is NOT entitled to your PUBLIC park land. If the James Robertson Pkwy property he’s offered to swap for #ChurchStreetPark is SO great, why doesn’t he build his “stunning tower” there? B/c as he said tonight, “Church Street is my sandbox.” Nope. #StopTheSwap

You can bet critics of the land swap will continue to pounce on Giarratana's "my sand box" phrase in referring to Church Street tonight. It might remind some of T Bone Burnett's "my baby" description about Greer Stadium.

Huge Thanks to @angienashville for making the public hearing happen. At the time on 4/18, after the deal passed on 2nd reading, I thought it was pointless. But last night was the opposite of pointless. The will of the people was documented (on YouTube). It was important.

Agree. We should not censure community members. Both people whose remarks were cut short were still within the bounds of the budget; they were contextualizing their remarks about operational funding for law enforcement.

So interesting to see Nashville’s Vice Mayor cut off the mic during the public hearing on the budget when people speak the names of Jocques Clemmons and Daniel Hambrick who were murdered by MNPD. Although it was our tax money they were being paid when they did it.

Great reporting! As I’ve said since 1st referendum convos, #Nashville needs dedicated funding for a safer, more enjoyable, functional network of bus/bike/walk for all. A plan centering #SIDEWALKS , crosswalks, greenways/bikeways, signal optimization & bus service can be a winner.

#MetroCouncilNash should read this entire 🧵. I made this point tangentially Tues. re the on-sight sports betting the new stadium is set up to have once the Titans’ lobbyist works it out at #tnleg . Football stadium-adjacent “neighborhoods” (on which this deal relies) don’t work!

NFL stadiums do not support development. They inhibit it. They bring too many people at once for bars and restaurants to serve, bring zero people too often to sustain them, and drive away regulars. They destroy quality of life with congestion, noise, and 1000s of drunk drivers.

They’ve NOT actually studied it! No comparative analysis of cost to Metro to modernize & manage the system ourselves. Typical Metro pattern, beloved by cronies: neglect then privatize. Procurement is a dysfunctional, unethical mess, facilitating deals already made by the mayor.
