Why is Cheatham county showing up in such force? Population growth? Additional early voting locations? A particular affinity for one of the candidates?

When you’ve been driving farm equipment in traffic since your teenage years, riding your bike in car traffic is a little less daunting?

Btw I’d love if my metro council would allow a few more neighbors to live in my neighborhood. I think they’d love it too.

“First Gen Proterra” must be some StarCraft Star Trek Star Wars reference the kids are making these days

- at least 12 of our CMs.

Lots of personal benefits to living in a building like this: only half the lawn to mow, efficient heating thanks to a shared wall, more neighbors (70%-90% of Americans say they like most of their neighbors, depending on the survey), and half the cost of a detached house in the same neighborhood!!

The sheer amount of residential new construction downtown. NashvilleNext’s single greatest success - and it has been very successful.

I love all the other answers, but I’d also add WeGo’s route consolidation and frequency enhancements.

I personally love hearing about free buses, idk about Nicole though 🤷🏻‍♂️

9.2% growth on the best side of the river though? 👀

And regardless of how voters expect to be represented when they elect their councilmember, we’ve seen CMs change their minds and positions in both the pro-growth and anti-growth directions.

Acceptable compromise.

Legalize this beauty on every corner on a major & collector street & bus route in Nashville.

Legalize this beauty on every corner within a quarter mile of a frequent bus route in Nashville.

Oh wow they’re saying that new jobs bring new residents which means property owners choose to build new homes for those residents in one of the few places near downtown where new apartments are legal?

I didn’t know that. You’re telling me now for the first time.

Condos still might be overpriced.

The glut of recently completed for-rent apartment towers means that the pure cost of living for rent vs purchasing in downtown Nashville skews way towards renting vs purchase for most. You can rent what you described for $2000/month or less in several towers.

Each of these condos selling at a loss represents housing units that become attainable by more people. It's unfortunate for these dozen sellers, but great for buyers &Nashville writ large.

Also, I bet condos are more likely to be occupied when they're not speculative assets w/ rapidly rising prices
