A friend is watching last nights council meeting and sent me this. Not even sure how to answer. It’s so patently obvious to the average person. How are we supposed to meet our housing goals if every development is cut in half?

The number of times I’ve seen MNPD cars parked or driving on the sidewalk or in a bike lane in Nashville is astounding…almost seems like it might not be against policy?

But also, come on, how hard is it to park your car somewhere that doesn’t endanger others?

Kupin is a conservative. He has one of the most pro police voting records & votes against things like a resolution against the tunnel but people continue to defend him. I’m embarrassed he’s the downtown councilmember. Tired of these activists defending him or roasting other Dems instead of him.

Personally I am not offended that our mayor doesn’t see it as his role to involve himself in the minutiae of property assessment just because a lot of people like a business / its owners.

If you like the business, patronize it so they can pay their fair share of property taxes.

Shoutout to all the people feeding people this week. WCK, remixway, TIRRC, TEA, SUN, NCVC.

I missed a ton of people. Thank you all.

I watch meetings online and look at votes so that’s what I judge Councilmembers off of. I don’t have time due to my job/hours to go mingle with metro very much. But perhaps it’s better that way. I’m able to judge actions and not be swayed by emotion.

When Trump testified in deposition on his NY fraud case, he estimated his net worth at $3.2B, which was wildly inflated. That was after a lifetime in business. Trump has now made $4.05B just in the past year - most of it from foreign entities. archive.ph/2026.01.31-1...

This helps paint a clearer picture. Thank you. I wish people would judge him by his actions not his words.

Next week talk about Councilmember Jacob Kupin on a cruise in one of the worst winter storms in Nashville history. Tell Hollin that’s also a leadership failure.

Thank you for not going on a cruise ship out of the country and then demanding accountability.

Jacob Kupin is on cruise ship in the middle of the worst winter storm in 30 years. He is one of the most conservative members of the council. He votes the same as Jennifer Webb and Jeff Eslick on every police / surveillance bill. However, many progressive activists sing his praises. Why?

We should build a big fiber network and bury a bunch of power lines.

Having all power flown and multiple contractors chopping up streets for fiber is not sustainable.

I may have some disagreements about the response but I just want to say I’m proud that he’s publicly doing this.

Straight from NDOT:

β€œThere is no size limit for brush for this special pick up. I just confirmed. Contractors that are hired by a resident to do tree work can leave that brush at the curb. However, we will not pick up brush for commercial businesses.”

Lots of us are out here pulling very long days caring for neighbors, friends & family: we are doing it with 2 jobs; & we are pushing for information for everyone.

I’ve also checked on colleagues, worked with admin, & heard and felt acute & long term crisis concerns. /1
