Husband, girl dad, numbers guy. Cities should be car-optional. Pro-bus, pro-bike, pro-immigrant, pro-housing.
These smart, walkable, mixed-use skeets are mine alone, and will veer into economics, sports, and Nashville.

At 8:30 PM on a random weeknight, Riverside Village’s local restaurants release dozens of locals to walk back home. What an incredible perk to be able to do, and yet the surrounding blocks have new multimillion dollar mansions.
Why we don’t allow more housing in Nashville neighborhoods is beyond me

If you’ve never tweeted from the Inglewood Express (aka WeGo’s route 34 bus), you’ve not truly lived.

I love reading positive stories about public transportation.
I love when my tax dollars fund good things for people.

After 17 years in Nashville, I finally took a WeGo bus.
My first trip was to the Preds game Tuesday. Seamless process and busses were still running around midnight.
My girlfriend lives near downtown, which is why we could do that, I hope one day I can ride WeGo from my house 🤞

The appropriate scale for future buildings on the old recycling site next to downtown is “skyscraper”
Details are emerging related to the East Bend segment of Nashville’s overall East Bank — with city officials hoping future development of the site will maximize effective urban form and functionality via appropriately scaled high-rise buildings.

transit riders on transit boards
Met Council members oversee Twin Cities transit, but rarely ride it
In the last year, just half of those appointed to the Metropolitan Council have taken advantage of the free Metro Transit rides that come with their job.

Nashville, Tennessee is home to 20 (yes twenty!) Waffle House locations.
I noticed recently that none of them are accessible via my closest bus route (the 56, Nashville’s second highest ridership line).
It got me to thinking: can I get to every Waffle Home in Nashville by bus? And on what routes??

I thought for sure we’d have shovels in the ground on Main Street bus lanes 2 years in
I expected permanent bus priority somewhere in downtown halfway through his first term
I’ve seen so many plans for bike lane expansion in downtown but I see no implementation of downtown bike lanes, just removal

I will not be negatively polarized into supporting the CAFE standards that have:
1. made full-size pickups the best two selling vehicles in the country
2. resulted in model bloat across all vehicle categories
3. killed minivans and station wagons in favor of “truck-based” SUVs

Housing for 950 more Nashville households, plus a 150-room hotel and a bunch of commercial space. All on just 13 acres adjacent to Nashville’s first (future) BRT line. This Southern Land Co development at the former Nashville Diesel College in East Nashville is pretty pretty good.

It is imperative that Nashville council allows the city to build housing for so many reasons, including being a safe harbor for marginalized Tennesseans, proving that we care about our neighbors, and taking power back from the corrupt state house the cracked our congressional district.
If I was a Davidson County, TN Democrat in a position of authority and saw this map, I would build so much fucking housing.

This 1800s duplex packs over 6,000sf of total living space, with a shared backyard, on a small 4,300sf lot.
This is illegal to build essentially everywhere in Massachusetts today… including on this same lot.

I LOVE living in a neighborhood where I can jog a few blocks and run across a neighbor gardening and stop to chat.
I LOVE living in a neighborhood where I can walk to a coffee shop and sports bar and grocery store.
I LOVE living in a neighborhood with a bus to downtown that comes every 10 minutes.
