Walkable neighborhoods don’t need to be a privilege reserved for the wealthy

if the intent was destroying the US from within, it sure doesn't look like a failure

This outrageous act — seizing ballots — follows Bondi’s demand that to stop public executions in Minneapolis, Minnesota needed to turn over its voter roll. They’re determined to steal the midterms since they know they can’t win under an actual democracy.

“The majority of Americans are open to living car-free even after decades of car-centric planning, a new survey finds…A stunning 18% of car-owning U.S. residents indicated that they were ‘strongly interested’ in living car-free, and another 40% said that they were ‘open’ to it.” @usa.streetsblog.org

Just a reminder FEMA used to help when during states of emergency. We’ve seen hurricane-level mass destruction. We’ve got local civil servants working 16 hour shifts. But we can only do so much with the people we have. Just another Tennessee weather tragedy where the feds failed to show.

Folks, all hands on deck, she cannot win.

Very cool read. With more particulate pollution from cars coming from tires than from tailpipes, even a full switch to EVs won’t be enough. If we want to protect Nashville’s health, we need prioritize less car traffic and more walking, biking, and public transit.

“To Americans who are watching this right now … what side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace, and kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such government”

Streets are for people.

“Only 25 of the world’s 300 largest cities have female mayors. A tiny 5% of municipal leadership positions are filled by women. Despite these figures, many of the cities that are making the most progress to become greener, cleaner, more equitable and liveable are led by women.” READ: bit.ly/4rbmcHu

Why do so many homeowner groups (Save Our Nashville Neighborhoods, Voice[s] of District 20, most neighborhood associations) keep fighting this? Is preservation of “neighborhood character” (as established by the original developers, often men of questionable morals) worth impoverishing renters?

East Bank Boulevard should be a street for people. Throughout December, various boards and agencies met to discuss the future of the street and the neighborhood as a whole. Project leaders haven’t finalized a design for the street, so we must call for a people-first, four-lane design.

Appreciated CM Horton's comments asking if they could maybe please consider Vision Zero and our modal hierarchy, but y'all…why do we have to keep reminding Metro of their own policies? Why do all the designs they choose to show directly contradict these? www.youtube.com/live/SZnIlFp...

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

As we push all kinds of investments from Choose How You Move—our transit improvement program—out into the city, we want you to know how they're improving your neighborhood. Here are improvements by #MetroCouncilNash district: www.nashville.gov/featured-ini...

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract. Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

We won supermajority support for CHYM 1 year ago. All 35 council districts voted in support. Every pocket of Nashville is on board.

A recall effort, an ethics threat and a packed council meeting reflect a divide in local politics.

Looking forward to this!

**Avert your eyes, bike riders**

The federal government continues to make life harder for Americans, but we’re working every day in Metro to make it easier for Nashvillians. We’ve put together resources for people at risk of losing SNAP benefits as a result of the federal shutdown. www.nashville.gov/departments/...

It’s a good morning for unity in #TN-07. Excited about @aftynbehn.bsky.social for Congress! Had your #Fido coffee? Let’s go!

mass timber single stair tower in france, with family sized homes this building is 166% taller than seattle allows, and a whopping 433% taller than current 'international' building code in US allows. also note the spiral stair. also illegal.

Hey, what’s up Nashville!? We’re trying out the WeGo Airport Express (18) today. We’ll see how ambitious I am about posting as we go, but you can count on a trip summary outbound and inbound on this thread.

I think we all intuitively know that long commutes mean less sleep and poorer health outcomes. Researchers in Japan measured it, and a commute longer than 52 minutes is as bad as insomnia. Building our city for long commutes is literally hazardous to our health. scitechdaily.com/scientists-e...

Just so we’re clear on what’s happening. The beauty of local politics is that it is nonpartisan-we can debate issues on merits & not like we’re opposing SEC teams. Sadly, not everyone feels that way these days.

The lack of local affordability is a contributing factor to our current fascist administration

Extremely incorrect. The new zoning designations would only affect parcels they are applied to.

made a spreadsheet of the council elections bc why not? cms Porterfield (AL2), Evans Segall (AL3), Parker (D5), Capp (D6), Welsch (D16), Vo (D17), Horton (D20), Gadd (D24), Preptit (D25), and Ewing (D34) voted for the prevailing candidate in each election docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Nashville’s homelessness problem is a housing problem - one of choice. Rising housing costs force our most vulnerable residents onto the streets

In case you hadn't heard, Nashville became the 3rd largest US city to allow single stair buildings up to 6 stories in July 👏 Congrats to Nashville, and @rollinhorton.bsky.social for showing our cities what kinds of changes we can make all over! www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS8t...

TL:DR- WeGo is doubling Walk Bike's QuickTicket rate and gave three weeks notice to come up with $20,000 in additional renewal fees. This program should be celebrated and replicated but instead, we're having to pause it. The WeGo Ride program can be great but the current structure is not sustainable

Have you emailed [email protected] to tell them you support more housing in Nashville lately? If not, there is a great opportunity to do that TODAY in regards to the Nations UDO and rezoning plan. 🦞

Proud to be a Greater Nashville REALTOR—read why we supper CM @rollinhorton.bsky.social UDO at this link: www.greaternashvillerealtors.org/index.php?sr...

"Maintaining restrictive zoning that exacerbates the housing shortage puts vulnerable tenants in a more precarious position... Allowing enough homes for everyone improves affordability overall, but the evidence shows it benefits low-income renters most." @pewtrusts.org www.pew.org/en/research-...

we really need a better approach for getting more housing other than increasing FAR and height and keeping setbacks this results in really poor urban form, no space for community or trees, less privacy all around seattle's low rise zone needs complete overhaul

It’s possible to grow and change and evolve together. It’s the only way forward if you care for your neighbors. Restricting the availability of a resource always has and always will benefit those with money and power the most.

3.5 half hours into the meeting, the main event is here. It took us a couple years to get the Wedgewood Houston UDO done. It’s taken even longer to get to the next one in the city.

“The biggest crime in the neighborhood is having to pay $1250 to be a third roommate” preach!
