Here’s your annual reminder that the housing crisis is a women’s issue.

Earnest post: there is increasingly direct evidence that Trump participated in child sex trafficking or at least knew about it. He should resign, be impeached and removed from office, and prosecuted. Even if you don’t think that WILL happen it’s important to say publicly that it SHOULD happen.

Great episode, with thoughtful questions and substantive answers. Love to hear public officials acknowledging policy tradeoffs Sabrina Sussman seems like a huge get - I’m excited to see what she accomplishes, and I hope NDOT and council members will support her podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

if you can’t see the aurora borealis tonight, here is a sewer tunnel which is a wonder in itself.

Deep in enemy territory for the first snow ride of the season

Lovely evening for a little bike ride

Van Hollen Senate Minority Leader vote when

Everyone in the entire world connect headphones to your devices when they are emitting sounds in public again challenge

Old building, new building, changing leaves, train, greenway. Can’t beat that with a stick

I will not rest until we have an urban Costco

We don’t actually care about context, but it’s endlessly fascinating *where* we claim to care about it, and what we use it to prevent

Myth: Exercise makes you healthier Reality: I’m constantly hearing of professional athletes with some sort of injury builttothink.substack.com/p/wall-stree...

There is truly nothing new under the sun.

While we fret over felling individual trees to build quadplexes (that would come down when a McMansion got built anyways), the exurbs are churning out projects like this with abandon

My local transgender coffee shop did this but it was a Henry George shrine

I have a feeling all those NIMBYs bemoaning the lack of “truly affordable” housing last night were not being entirely honest 🧐

“The fire marshal told us to park here” lol k

If you want more democracy, you need fewer cars.

. @sandrafornash.bsky.social explicitly speaking for the renters/young people/multigenerational households that couldn’t come support a bill that would help them by legalizing more DADUs

Nashville’s loudest NIMBYs have apparently allied themselves with an opponent of the Civil Rights Act to make their case to the public. The choice at hand just could not be more clear.

“I’m afraid this isn’t gonna be as easy as that time I got rid of the zoning commissioner for your father” Screaming. Nashville 911 touching the third rail of local politics

Bluesky rn

We really need the council to understand that these people simply cannot be appeased and are not engaging in good faith. Do the right thing, stop nibbling around the edges, and move on.

Reggie Williams was walking to a corner store when armed authorities aggressively asked him if he was from Ethiopia or Ghana, he said He and other Black Memphis residents have been reporting harassment by Trump’s police task force: "I don't feel safe"

the cool thing about deeply thinking, planning, and studying … is we can keep doing it forever and never actually have to take any action on anything see also: housing

I think we should be prepared for a NIMBY J6 if this doesn’t go their way

Broke: we don’t have a housing crisis Woke: rezonings won’t solve the housing crisis Bespoke: boomers dying off will solve the housing crisis

Do yall ever see someone working at a restaurant in east Nashville and think “yes, correct, you should work in a restaurant in east Nashville”

These are not synonyms @wkrnnews2.bsky.social www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

A growing coalition is calling on WeGo to freeze fares during the lapse in SNAP benefits. Riders shouldn’t have to choose between going to the food bank and going to a Metro agency to get a bus pass. Let’s make transit a lifeline, not a burden. Add your name or org: docs.google.com/forms/d/1sPu...

The median American understands that we need more housing in the places people want to live. It’s embarrassing that the majority of our public engagement and policy around housing is dedicated to obfuscating, ignoring, or outright denying this

Worth noting that the mouthpiece of Save Our Nashville Neighborhoods sells his services as a “development consultant”, and their second most prolific writer is a landlord

Genuinely grateful that Nashville has journalists both willing and able to give road safety this depth of coverage Also grateful that Steven Hale was able to pluck a cogent thought from my stream of consciousness

Thankful to live in a progressive city like Nashville that would never exacerbate infrastructure strains by enacting broad bans on all but the most expensive and resource intensive form of housing mainstreetmediatn.com/articles/unc...

This is, not coincidentally, also exactly how most regular people engage with urban planning questions! But our engagement practices generally don't reflect that reality.

waiting for the bus shouldn’t require cosplaying a Hilary Duff music video

Over 3 years after seeking “community” approval, the Inspiritus project in Salemtown has topped out, a full floor shorter than it could’ve been This building could be done and housing 95 low income Nashvillians, but we wasted time trying to placate the implacable, and lost 15 homes in the process

Hey, Nashvillians: How about a list of food banks to contribute to? 🦞

I think opposition to this pencil-necked loser and his abhorrent vision for society requires acknowledging that we already have state-sanctioned tools to all but achieve his goal Ten points if you can guess which city this is

i've been saying

"Cities should remain museum pieces for incumbents and any newcomer is strictly a burden" is the most loser mindset that powers the most loser politics in America today.

3 episodes of 911 Nashville and we’re at tornado number 5 by my count. Incredible content

I can’t believe there are not one but two articles, in major papers, with this dumb framing. It is not NIMBY to express dismay when a big part of the White House is suddenly rubbled

at an EDM show and just watched someone hit what I assume was a weed pen and then blow bubbles with the smoke The human spirit is beautiful and indomitable

At the Chelsea Hotel? Shut up, she’s so chic 😭 we are about to get the best album out of this

TIL about the Responsible Driver Ride Home Waiver. If you rideshare or transit home after drinking too much and and return to find your car ticketed in an NDOT space, you can get the ticket waived.
