This is what I see when a Republican coded real estate agent is using water and sewer capacity as a cudgel to keep their neighborhood homogeneous

Someone appears to have gotten their hands on a NO PARKING ANY TIME sign, but they blocked out the par part so it says no king lol

It’s like he’s willfully misunderstanding what motivates anyone under the age of 40 to vote

I look forward to hearing angry complaints that motorists fire off after safely reaching their destination without endangering anyone else

This is more or less what Jefferson should look like between 3rd and Rosa Parks @jkupin4d19.bsky.social

I had basically the same thought. They can’t contemplate someone asking a renter to share their opinion on housing policy

I hope that we can be at least as progressive as the Tennessee Department of Transportation www.tn.gov/content/dam/...

I thought this was a Nashville 911 joke at first

Also it’s been a while but doesn’t it hang over the sidewalk? Surely that qualifies as an aerial encroachment into the sky exposure plane or whatever

Just to be clear… that is razor wire, not barbed wire. Much worse

The greenway, of course, technically closes at dusk, so even when it reopens, I’ll be breaking the law (which I’m fine with. It’s a dumb law)

With the greenway closed, my other options are both four-lane urban highways. Not fun at 1AM!

To cross Jefferson on 5th with a signal, I have to get off my bike and push the ped call button. This is easily fixable by adjusting the signal timing to eliminate the need for a ped call

Also feel compelled to point out that between the greenway closure and the lack of bike detection on signals on Jefferson, there’s no safe way to get downtown from one of Nashville’s most walkable inner ring neighborhoods @jkupin4d19.bsky.social

I am becoming convinced that autonomous vehicles are designed to solve the problem of "I live in a wealthy suburb but have a horrible car commute and don't want to drive anymore but also hate trains and buses and refuse to ride a bike."

The city built a dense walkable neighborhood full of both residents and tourists around the restaurant I own with a killer view of downtown and I am Mad Online about it
