Modern urban planning’s “community outreach” processes are structured to overrepresent older, whiter homeowners who oppose neighborhood change and underrepresent younger, poorer, browner renters who stand to benefit from new housing.

Nashville is leading and not in a good way. The good news is that we have the ability to choose differently and build more housing and different types of housing in our city, so that everybody who wants to can afford a home in Nashville that suits their needs

Here at the Housing Matters event. Julie porter from Charlotte exhorting nashville to pick a problem and solve it. “Housing affordability is not a nice to have. It’s not someone else’s problem. City’s should view it like sidewalks or water.”

There’s not much a cyclist can do to prevent being hit from behind by a motorist. Separated infrastructure is what we can do locally. Speed governors, infotainment/phone lockouts, etc can be mandated at the federal level.

So excited about @rollinhorton.bsky.social’s UDO in The Nations. He’s done a ton of work in the neighborhood to make this a true community plan. It’s going to provide a bunch of new housing in a great neighborhood. Let’s all help him get it passed!

The Nations could see rezoning to allow for more walkability and affordable housing.

Real quote: "(Rose) said he would lead an effort to make all interstates at least eight lanes and to build four-lane highways to every county seat." Build statewide relationships now.

Made a (highly subjective) map of the areas I bike in regularly with info about safety, avoidable hills, places to cross pikes, etc. Interested in 1) is this useful, 2) what would make it more useful and 3) would anyone be willing to fill in their neighborhood to make it more comprehensive.

The argument that we can’t build housing until we have infrastructure is a frustrating framing. If we have neighborhoods and CMs willing to support more housing, the city should prioritize bringing sidewalks and infrastructure to those neighborhoods faster than those that don’t add housing.

Research (from Nashville!) shows that teachers with shorter commutes stay in their positions longer and perform better. Housing policy is education policy.

Just remember folks, they only use council manic courtesy when it benefits themselves. Otherwise, they do things like this. You should act accordingly. gem.godaddy.com/p/fd716c1?pa...

Neighbors should be close enough to easily cheer on your kids. More housing, less loneliness.

'Federal lands are a national resource, and the nation needs more housing' so divide up this common resource for private profit - rather than re-building communities so they aren't sprawling hellholes? good grief this piece is so so so moronic and shortsighted.

🦞 update: So far this year, 286 guns stolen from cars in Nashville. Total guns stolen this year in Nashville is 392 - so 73% of guns stolen so far in 2025 have been taken from vehicles. Last year at this same time, 227 guns had been stolen from vehicles. Lock up your gun before leaving your car.

In the 20th century, being "modern" meant bringing cars into cities. In the 21st century, it means keeping them out. #Rome's Campidoglio, during WW2 and today.

Via the @nashvillebanner.bsky.social: A court ruled on Tuesday that while the mayor’s transit referendum can mostly go forward as planned, using surcharge funds to purchase land for housing and parks will not be permitted.

The price of housing is set by supply and demand. If your city added 50,000 net new jobs last year but only built 10,000 new homes, rent is going up because demand outpaced supply. However, it’s going up LESS than if the new homes hadn’t been built. Many people struggle with this counterfactual!

The first almost-warm evening of spring and I can hear conversations from 3 different neighbors’ yards from my back patio. I love living in a city.

The Austin City Council voted 10-1 to allow up to 5-story, single-stair buildings. Austin joins a growing list of North American cities & states bringing back the once popular building type and allowing more flexibility in the types of housing produced in the City. 📍Austin, TX

“A few years ago, it would have looked like mission impossible for even the most capable Russian spy. Divide the U.S. from its allies? Check. Discredit its normative power (human rights, rule of law, democracy, altruism)? Check. Weaken U.S. institutions to make further manipulation easier? Check.”
