@quinevanssegall @sadie_luck I'm not confused about this rezoning of the county. Metro already has a way to change zoning of parcels. Look at all of the rezoning done in Bellevue decades ago. They now have lots of apartment complexes. Maybe that's what Bellevue wanted. Let each n'hood decide what they need

@quinevanssegall @sadie_luck You're basically saying that we don't need the NEST bills to pass in order to add units like this!

@_discorodeo I new build on the market in my neighborhood was broken into and occupied by human-traffickers wanted in Alabama! Who knows for how long or what went on inside...

@andywildman @nkornutick Better public schools in other counties, less crime, great parks, etc. These are some of the most important reasons families choose to live out of county.

We have a lot of people coming into Davidson County to work

@Sans_comic_sans @tequilamjohnson I thought the deed and/or will of the original donator of Watkins specified that it would always be in the downtown location. I wondered how they got around that to move it, then move it again to Belmont. Have you heard anything about that?

@tequilamjohnson What TN did, albeit on a smaller scale and differently, with (quasi-public) Watkins College of Art. In that case, they packed the board with developers and attorneys and shortly after, shuttered the school, sold the land, and gave the money, name, and accreditation to Belmont.

It’s also not lost on me that TSU is sitting on prime real estate! In one of the fastest growing cities in the country 👀

@hannah_pechan @Sans_comic_sans Just stating a fact based on my being an investor that others might have not thought

@r_selrod @Sans_comic_sans There is no gift (aka right to shelter) to hard working nashvillians that won’t have some possible benefit to possible investors. Thats not a reason to shut the door on progress

Really good paper on how land use is necessary but not sufficient for housing affordability. I don’t know anyone who thinks land use change alone can create housing affordability but housing affordability cannot be attained without it.

@Sans_comic_sans @hannah_pechan It's also a gift to investors from all over the world. More rental units in a hot market...

@hannah_pechan Let's see a NEST proposal that includes those additional requirements for "housing affordability". Otherwise, it just comes across as tired trickle-down rationalization for a gift to developers. And lets have a nuanced approach rather than taking a sledgehammer to zoning and LUP.

@clownatlaw Maybe I'm just paranoid, but the ship is from Singapore, China!

Can't. Stop. Watching. This. Holy. Shit.

Did anyone else hear about the bomb threat at CPA earlier today?

@UrbanEastNash Quadraplexes are a better investment than a SFH. When there's a problem that requires the renter to be out of a unit for maintenance, the landlord still gets rent coming in monthly.

Quadplex. Very likely the cheapest housing in this very much gentrified neighborhood. Not ruining character. Just providing a place for non-wealthy people to live. We should allow more density like this within our popular neighborhoods.

@mackandme123 DM me some basic info about that STR. I'll see what I can find. It is getting harder and harder to prove.

Codes closed out my non-owner occupied STR complaint about the Airbnb Investor whose LinkedIn job is to make money off STRS. Even though I included links and photos of the listing and his website they closed it because "not enough information" to revoke it. Grabs trenchcoat. 😎

@jasondotnews If I needed a job, I'd apply!

We’ve spent all week building out an outdoor relaxing area at the office for the spring. It’s coming along nicely ✅ #ScoopNashville

@mackandme123 @grrenshaw I'm not arguing, just clarifying. HUD & Sec 8 are guaranteed money, but are lower than open market rates. I'm not familiar with voucher money that is equal to open market. (I charge less than open market rates myself, but I'm just a small & local investor.)

@r_selrod @grrenshaw A voucher is guaranteed money. They don't collect lower rents, just from multiple sources.

The only renters with a semblance of protections in Nashville are afforded them by the federal government. They're only available to renters that are either on a voucher or in project based housing. Our state will not extend those modest rights to tenants. allianceforhousingjustice.org/social-housing…

@Sans_comic_sans @nkornutick Don't forget about assessment fees off and on for various reasons from the HOA

@nkornutick I would not keep that messaging in your pitch deck. It does nothing for affordability (also doesn't take into account that the condos on the right likely have a hefty HOA fee).

One family can have this opportunity, or many can have this opportunity. We choose who we exclude.

@GallatinPkNA @nkornutick DM me your contact info and I'll pass it along to him

@r_selrod @nkornutick Do you have his number? This is exactly the type of elite, exclusive community we are trying to create along Gallatin Pike.

His house has gone up in value 14x and now it’s a $1.4M home. But sure, young families of modest means totally have a shot at living in your neighborhood now. Great work everyone. newschannel5.com/news/we-want-t…

@mattmurphyshow @brotherjones_ Here's the story that got me blocked: scoopnashville.com/2021/06/brothe…

The YIMBY free-market agenda can’t solve the housing crisis. But there are solutions that provide the homes we need without ceding power to the profiteers who rigged the system. I wrote for @newrepublic. newrepublic.com/article/179147…
