Sharing again this piece I wrote about Nashville getting the 'best bang for our billion bucks' re: new Titans stadium. In it, CMs (present /former), economists, policy directors, lobbyists, and organizers share their thoughts on how we can generate ROI. globalsportmatters.com/culture/2022/0…

Fucking unbelievable Tennessee Democratic Party @hendrellremus

Just watched an NDOT van nearly right hook a runner on West End. @NashVisionZero out here taking matters into their own hands

What will it do for all these people who line up on Gallatin every Friday morning to get food from the Church because they don’t have enough to eat?

Hundreds of millions of dollars on a massive stadium and vast parking garages that will be empty and useless >90% of the year.

East Nashville needs an Indian restaurant so bad. I’m dying here

Longterm-ism? More like “Long Term Capital Management”-ism am i right?

Brett Withers Walk Bike Nashville Bryan Glazer Freddie O’Connell Nashville Department of Transportation Following up on this since it's been a year (yes I set a reminder). Any idea where this project stands or what it will take to get it rolling?

Oakwood Avenue's traffic calming application was approved over a year ago, but nothing has been installed yet. Last night a driver, speeding in their SUV, killed a pedestrian crossing Oakwood Ave in a crosswalk. wkrn.com/news/local-new…

Just absolutely incredible dealmaking from John Cooper. Apparently loved licking the boots of the NFL and Titans so much that we’re going back for more

Today is the day. Metro Council will take up the largest public subsidy in US sports history. The more you look into the deal, the more public money goes into it. The Titans only take on maintenance obligations if the giant pot of public money falls short ⬇️ #NoOn1741

Possibles if we vote deal down: 1) maintain stadium until lease is up in 2029, Metro regains control of unencumbered East Bank 2) major renovation / lease extension / development rights back to Metro 3) build a new stadium w different terms (no infinite money hoses this time)

Nashville council followed Titans lobbyist letter on $2.1B stadium deal votes #titansstadium buff.ly/3oF4i4Y

My favorite fact from the ProPublica piece about this was that one rent pricing company (Yieldstar) hired a guy who had previously done illegal price fixing for Alaska airlines. Got his computer seized and everything. Yieldstar was like thats our guy

This interview got my vote for Chris Crofton. Public transit, housing, sales tax, stadium, everything just exactly on point

Are any Nashville candidates campaigning on their support for the Titans stadium deal? I know some candidates support it, but I haven't seen anyone use it as a major talking point. You'd think "I saved taxpayers $1.8 billion" would be something to shine a light on if it was true.

This is so cool

I think the latest decision by Musk to reinstate an account that shared CSAM has cemented my decision to leave. Fuck that and fuck Elon too. I’m leaving my account but I’m not going to check Twitter anymore I hope i can find many of you on other platforms
