Instagram · When the weather gets hectic, access to opportunity is highlighted in Nashville. Those who live in unwalkable, car oriented parts of town may experience even more isolation. People who require the care of others have a lifeline in community, but only if the community can reach them. Personally, I had an abundance of neighbors to ask for spare maple syrup for my French toast breakfast. 😋 Others ha…
Instagram · Pictured: One Bellevue Place near Ford Ice Center Bellevue Often the busiest day of the year is Black Friday. That makes Black Friday a good time to look for missed housing opportunities. Last year, we reformed our city ordinances such that new developments from East Nash to Hillwood, North Nashville to parts of South Nashville (the Urban Zoning Overlay) no longer had to meet minimum requirements…
Instagram · Cities across the nation are working to fight the housing crisis by building our way out of this housing shortage. In Nashville, the construction of our inner ring suburbs like 12 South took place before the wave of housing bans took place in the mid 20th century. As a result, these areas have a much higher portion of duplexes, townhomes, quadplexes, and courtyard cottages which today offer much l…
Instagram · Every Monday, we’re meeting at Dicey’s Tavern for a social hour. Come chat about Metro Nashville, pro-housing efforts, or just community building. There will be pizza. Walking distance from WeGo 75, 55, and 52. Bike parking available across the street at the Warehouse, with vehicle parking throughout the neighborhood as well.
Instagram · You know what’s messy for Wall Street investors? Trying to bundle all of the various types of multi family housing into a single financial product. Nashville housing laws should aim to keep supply of units abundant. Today, only a small portion of Davidson County residential lots are eligible for duplexes, triplexes, or backyard cottages, and unlike luxury apartment developers, those building affor…

Instagram · Just a happy guy posing in front of his new condo in a style of building that is banned in Nashville. Greater access to so called “missing middle housing” has kept Chicago’s combined cost of living relatively lower than other major metro areas. Seen here: a small condo building with single staircase access. Totaling 4 stories including one more affordable basement floor. There is really no reason…- X · Not sure it needed to be said, be we are anti committing crimes together. We just want more neighbors and a better democratic process.
Instagram · We will be heading to planning on June 8, 2023. Like last time we will meet up for drinks before/after at The Goat Sobro. Follow the Twitter account to see where people are. We are targeting item 35 on the agenda, so there is no rush to be there too early. We will be supporting and speaking on 2023SP-058-001 Rise East Nashville. City Now Next (see linktree) has more on this project that is slated…
Instagram · Several items are appearing on today’s metric council agenda: - The roommates cap bill - Investments in The Contributor’s next publication of Where to Turn in Nashville - Expanding access to property tax freeze to allow more seniors to age in place affordably - Interesting developments on street setbacks - Third Reading of the Belle Mead Plaza development - and other housing developments across to…
Instagram · Walkable, liveable towns are our tradition. Sprawling nowherelands with zero common space are the real experiment. We aren’t looking to make suburbs transition into scenes of skyscrapers and fast paced urban life. All of us deserve to live in a village where jobs can be created, connections to other villages and the city are convenient enough to use, and where houses are abundant and come in many…
Instagram · The Belle Meade Plaza will bring hundreds of much needed homes to Nashville. Cost of living has skyrocketed like all other cities with a constrained housing supply. We’re heading to council this evening (Tuesday, May 2nd) to ask Metro Council members to approve this project with no further reductions in residencies units. We hope you’ll join us tonight as well. Check link in bio to get the details…

Instagram · Thank you to all who came out tonight in support of the redevelopment of Belle Meade Plaza. In the end, despite frantic cries that a tsunami of cars would flood every golf course in Belle Meade, the Planning Commission did the only sensible thing to do when a developer proposes new, denser housing during in a housing crisis. Unanimous approval. This development accomplishes a number of things 🚎 h…
