The One With Parks, Plans, and Progress Happy National Library Week! We have an important agenda to cover today, but before diving in, I want to pause briefly to acknowledge the growing number of not just questionable, but genuinely harmful pieces of legislation emerging at both the state and federal levels.

Please be just a little more competent on council if you're gonna run for mayor

Y’all abstaining too are goofy af

No, way you gonna fucking pull it and not speak up. Justify your vote or its too easy to call you a racist hack

Love when my local elected amazon employee is basically cruella deville

when you're sitting in dumbass traffic on Nolensville Pike full of giant cars with just one (1) person in them, and then you see a car with ZERO (0) PEOPLE IN IT

four eastbound Metro SubwayLink trains scheduled to arrive within a 15 minute window.

previous train was at 10:22, following trains are delayed 10 minutes at 10:42, 6 minutes at 10:48, and on time at 10:52 creating train bunching

bus bunching can happen to trains as well

10-minute headways slip to a 20-min gap followed by 5-min headways

East Nashville post asking to find housing for their 76yr old dad.

This is who we are keeping out of East Nashville when we clutch our pearls over slight increases in density.

ADU's should be allowed by-right on every property. +1 small unit on every lot. Ie; If a lot allows 2, you can have 2 big houses + an ADU. Would go far for affordability.

Current planned Connect Downtown mobility lanes to be built from "2027+" according to an NDOT presentation at BPAC on 4/20/26

The original Connect Downtown Action Plan for Phase 1 and 2 mobility lanes. Phase 1 included 11 new mobility lanes to be built between 2024-2026, plus upgrades to Demonbreun and Commerce. Phase 2 included 9 more new mobility lanes to be built from 2027-2029.

Here's our current plan for Phases 1 and 2, compared to what we were supposed to have built.

The entire point of Connect Downtown was to take urgent action to "aggressively advance a safe and connected active transportation network that supports people of all ages and abilities.”

So why are we building less than half of the planned mobility lanes in more than twice the time?

It irks me SO MUCH when Nashville Downtown Partnership appears before a public body saying they represent all the businesses, visitors, and residents downtown. WHO ELECTED YOU????

Back in 2019, Alejandro Henao and I estimated net hourly wages ranging between $5.72 and $10.46 for Uber & Lyft drivers

(minimum wage was $11.10 in Colorado at the time)

How a Family of 3 Lives on $25,000 in Corona, Queens (Gift Article) Anup Baniya, an Uber driver, works long hours, six days a week, spending most of his earnings on car expenses and essentials for his 7-month-old son.

The question @nytimes.com asks shouldn't be: how can this family of 3 can afford to live in NYC on $25k per year?

The better question would be: how is it possible that Uber only pays him $25k per year when he drives 60 hours each week?!?

As much as @davidzipper.bsky.social and I push back on treating Waymo's improved safety as a given, they are still light years ahead of this nonsense

The Kroger on Edmonson Pike today, inexplicably, was just playing the Jubilee album by Japanese Breakfast.

The most important business in South Nashville is the ice cream truck that plays Christmas music yearround.

Just patronized some of the new spots near Dickerson Pike and Cleveland St and I am yet again asking why we aren’t mandating parking in the back for new developments…

This is the guy who would build the sphere in Nashville btw, if it happened

East siders-anyone have a mechanic they trust? I know what I need done and it’s fairly simple but does require a lift or jack.

Every time I go to Enterprise they’re having some sort of technical difficulties
