One day. Two cities. www.wsj.com/real-estate/... nashvillebanner.com/2025/12/09/e...

Cannot over stress that the people showing up to block new housing and chip away at good bills don’t represent this city. We’re ignoring and sidelining so many people.

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!

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

“A quadplex next door is the same as the Trail of Tears, to me” incredible www.tnledger.com/editorial/Ar...

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!

🎉Well done, Councilman Horton! #SmartStair @rollinhorton.bsky.social #MetroCouncilNash #Nashville @julianneakers.bsky.social @nashvillepost.com www.nashvillepost.com/politics/met...

Idk about rats but I’ve noticed a lot of bunnies and a fox in our neighborhood lately.

Listen to @themanaen.bsky.social tell us about housing affordability and how you can directly help by sending an email. www.instagram.com/reel/DMYTB5M...

Thanks to @rollinhorton.bsky.social for leading the charge on single stair in Nashville! This will enable better and more affordable housing to be built.

The abundance movement ought to speak forcefully about an untold number of carpenters being shipped off to concentration camps. These are folks with mixed status who’ve learned how to build under our codes and regs. We need them back.

This is it, folks. The end of an era. My FINAL NIGHT of live posting #MetroCouncilNash. I'm LIVE AND IN CHAMBERS. @angienashville.bsky.social is calling us to order. And so it begins/ends.... 🦞

Democrats need the courage and compassion to act on our values to ensure our cities are a place, not just for some of us, not just for the very wealthy, but for all us

who’s speaking up for my coworkers on guest worker visas that ride scooters to work in mixed traffic with irate, insane drivers? we’ll put “all are welcome here” signs in our yards, but we won’t tolerate a few seconds of delay in our cars so they don’t get run over on their way to work? nah

Not sure what made Newsom want to wake up and lead but hot damn I’m here for it. If you say housing matters, there’s only one way to show it - aggressive action.

People don’t want to be in cars. Thats why they leave their cars somewhere else and flock to a place without them

JaneJacobsism: anti-government liberalism for conservatives

The funny thing about induced demand is that everyone thinks they can plan the right roads to get around it, yet no one successfully does. I’ve yet to see a way EBB doesn’t become gridlock - the map apps will make it an alt route & it will just be that way. www.nashvillescene.com/news/metropo...

Grateful for the mayors leadership here, and it’s important our Metro Council also does its part to solve the problem. Available evidence on the issue indicates that homelessness is fundamentally a housing problem

🌈 Out at the ballpark and proud of it! Celebrating love, inclusion, and community at the Nashville Sounds Pride Night! Let’s keep cheering for equality—on and off the field. ⚾️🏳️‍🌈 #SoundsPrideNight #Pride2025 #LoveIsLove #NashvilleSounds

Great Pride event at the Sounds game tonight. Bumped into lots of friends. And home on the 34 (my ace in the hole). @brendagadd.bsky.social @oliviahill247.bsky.social @russbradford.com @seanforfive.bsky.social @rollinhorton.bsky.social
