In the 10 years I have been working in the Napier area there has been 1 block that youth & families avoid (which affects community center #’s) due to open drug slinging & our newly assigned South precinct has done what we have asked for YEARS… a police tower & we have seen a diff! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 @nashville.gov

I see there is a plan to add more trees. I truly love my neighbors. Youth & teens hang out in my backyard for firepit. We go to each other’s homes for dinner. If ya have suggestions let me know as we have no driveways. Pic from Mon. dinner when I took 3 teens temp living w/ me to my neighbors 3/3 ❤️
stolen. Because of relationships I sometimes get my items back because I can see who took them and neighbors do right by good neighbors even snitch 🤷🏾♀️. We are responsible for taking care of the verge in front of our homes. I agree we need more trees but I would like to know what is a happy medium. 2/
Unpopular opinion: I have spoken to neighbors & multiple do not want trees planted in the verge or nature strip as they call it in AU. Unfortunately we have folks who hang out and sell narcs & have stolen packages. The small verge trees block views. I myself have had my car door opened & packages 1/
This is why I raise awareness…its not happening throughout Nashville. Why is the largest public housing community and surrounding houses with NO driveways the ones who get to be made an example of???
Before the new street sweeping program my neighbors said they never had an issue with getting ticketed for expired tags of their car parked in front of their home.
Ahhh it makes sense now! The street sweeping program is a way to give tickets for expired tags not just ticket and tow for not moving your car. Again, we do not have signs to remind people!
What other neighborhoods are the focus twice a month? Napier Area is 1st and 2nd Thursday; folks living in public housing who only have street parking available have to worry about not getting ticketed or towed for forgetting to move their car where there are no signs.
Coming to your neighborhood soon?? No where else in the city is NDOT ticketing for expired tags in neighborhoods. I live in Napier area. Two of my neighbors were ticketed last week. We have NO DRIVEWAYS!Plus the BnB’s on our street. This doesn’t feel good. It needs to stop!
I am grateful for this! Thank you to all who made this a reality including tax payers!
This! My neighbor said this! In NYC after a couple tickets you got booted and then towed. I referenced that and NDOT’s response was the pilot time is now over. Not to mention the three airbnbs on our small block. There is also a monthly team that cleans the street. What is this really about?!
This was 2wks ago! An abandoned car was towed. I appreciate NDOT tried to contact the owner for weeks, I get that; however in a month this could be my car or my neighbors’ car if we forget to move our car by 8am! Some have low income & we have no driveways. Towing is excessive! Why Napier area?!
I WILL always elevate my neighbors voices when laws are unjust & I will use my privilege to pursue change. I am so TIRED of change happening w/o truly seeking what the community wants. Recently…rezoning of schools, towing when one forgets its street sweeping day (no signage), broken promises & more!
…some elected off. are sadly the obstacle too. Most do a lot of good & then theres a defining MOMENT or two where elected officials have power to make change to laws/initiatives; ex: st. sweeping towing will disproportionately affect neighbors (esp. public housing).Posting for awareness & a reminder

2 yrs ago my friend DJ @urbaneastnash.bsky.social asked if we needed pumpkins for youth. I said yes but initially I didn’t realize the power of a pumpkin, now I do 🧡He is collecting funds again so that over 100 youth can have one. Consider sacrificing one pumpkin latte this week & donate $10 🙏🏾
Is this what the NIMBYS thought would happen in the Nations?!?!😬😆
Gotcha. I need to catch up on my fav podcast. CM TE exhibited disdain last council mtg too. Not as much as Joy S or a few others and I wondered why then also.
Guess who is not in my top 5, 10 or 20😬
You contributed towards this! And you rocked tonight.
Tonight was one for the books. CM Ellis was livid about something. Not sure all that energy was warranted given the Nations isn’t her district but I didn’t hear what was said. If we were in pedagogy she would’ve gotten a coaching on RR because its still not her forte 🫣
It passes. The End. Just the beginning of a beautiful future in the Nations.
City led grocery stores?
Hell, yeah.

Not Jeff E. D11 quoting Freddie’s campaign slogan during council discussion of BL2025-830. All that for nothing because Robert’s Rules says “you can’t do that” in my NSC game voice.
The terror began immediately. Salvadoran guards beat them with their fists, boots and batons, shot them with rubber pellets, and forced them to lick other men's backs.
What happened when we sent 230+ Venezuelans to a prison known for human rights abuses.

Thank you all!!! I am touched by your help!
For those wondering, folks must recertify each yr w/MDHA & when they do not their rent goes to market rate. The covid rent pause affected this mom’s situation. She was dealing w/postpartum, abuse and did not recertify. My friends know the 11 yr twins tare amazing thespians ❤️
to offer MDHA half but they said it needed to all be paid but was hopeful Metro Action could help. Who has pull at Metro Action? I know funding has been cut but we have been waiting to hear back. School starts soon. The sets of twins are separated. I have cared for the 11 yr twins. 🙏🏾 any help 3/3
2/ I shared the story of J going to college last yr. So many helped him. 🙏🏾When he left his fam was staying with a neighbor but that neighbor moved. His mom MDHA balance was $13K! I met with Dr. Troy (Ty Zulfat) from MDHA & they have changed rules where balances can never get that high. We tried 2/
