DADUs on nonconforming lots passes unanimously on third reading!

Thank you to the young, growing family that brought this to my attention.

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

A familiar story

Building new housing helps preserve existing more affordable housing

Yes! The SP of the final silo bend project down 54th included a requirement for the developer to work with NDOT to install a traffic light at this intersection

Evidence about what’s worked in other cities doesn’t apply to us. No evidence applies to us

Austin’s Surge of New Housing Construction Drove Down Rents After decades of explosive growth, Austin, Texas, in the 2010s was a victim of its own success. Lured by high-tech jobs and the city’s hip reputation, too many people were competing for too few homes....

Building more housing lowers rents

Blocking is correct. Enabling housing isn’t always afforded the same courtesy

do NOT show this to Save Our Nashville Neighborhoods

Cracking down on single family rentals will exclude poor and working people from desirable neighborhoods. It is profoundly inequitable.

New book!

Is this one in the neighborhood? Would love to see what their advertising is

We need to break up all that massing (sarcastic)

At more than 50% of trips being in a car, happiness drops. Look at people finding equilibrium once they have adequate tools.

Opinion | How elevator rules are throwing a wrench into America’s housing market The unintended consequences of a 1988 law are making housing less accessible and driving up prices.

I wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post with Allie Cannington – at The Kelsey, a disability-forward affordable housing developer – about how America's elevator accessibility rules backfire for small buildings, and about how a clarification from HUD could fix it www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Institutional investors together hold less than 1% nationally of the single family home stock. That small percentage provides a life line for families to access a housing types they wouldn’t be able to otherwise, and I don’t think we should take that away from them.

Here's what happens when private equity buys homes in your neighborhood What makes rents go down and neighborhood diversity go up? Corporate landlords. But they also make it harder to own for yourself.

One of the 2025 biggest housing learnings for me - institutional investors reduced segregation through SFH rentals www.npr.org/sections/pla...

America has a housing affordability crisis. Building houses for rent can help Developers are building more single-family houses for renting. That can lower prices for both renters and buyers.

Rental homes provide important housing options for people. Trumps effort to ban institutions from renting out single family homes will worsen the housing shortage and raise costs. As always, the consequences will fall most heavy on working and middle class people.

Lots of little mid-rise single-stair buildings in my neighborhood, but this trio might be my favorite

We bombed a girls elementary school.

Good reason for Nashville to continue to adhere to our modal hierarchy to prioritize walking biking and public transit - transitioning to EVs by itself won’t do enough to protect nashvilles health and air quality

Is this me?

No surprise here!

I’ve got world tragedies interspaced with wholesome dog content

Building more housing by itself won’t be enough (and will have knock on negative effects), unless we also allow more traditional and more affordable housing types as well. This is something Nashville historically allowed that we need to rediscover

I couldn’t agree more - the status quo is unsustainable. Our zoning code channels new housing into two extremes - either large McMansions or luxury apartment buildings.

High housing costs are a material factor in individuals renting or buying homes in the surrounding counties rather than in Nashville. Nashville housing costs are roughly 40% higher than the state overall
