A barely educated guess would be they can use less steal for the structure and use the ground more which is cheaper and/or free.

I was thinking the same thing, all these new digs, and it seems like bedrock is what like 1-2 feet down. Is that pretty true thought the city? Like if I dug down am I hit bedrock in my backyard?

Probably the closet thing like that all together is 5th & Broadway now with all the restaurants and shops together. Maybe something like Avo over off Charolette. eatavo.com They have volleyball and there are a few little shops and things around there too. Hope that helps.

Sounds like the entire MSA needs to band together. Form some hubs in the outer counties, then promote not sprawl development there. Have everything build up around a hub, that includes places for the outer suburbs to park so that they can take the train in. A hub and spoke system. Promote non- suburb development in the surrounding counties, straight up outlaw it in Davidson county, unless it involves thoughtful planning to integrate within the cities transportation plan, which would mean the city would actually need a plan...

@markhollin more structure or what?

That looks gogrod and will fit right in much better than the a big ole apartment just plopped in there.

I think that's a big problem, everyone wants a NYC/London style system in one fail swoop! Not gonna happen folks.

Hope nothing big changes, but it could use a facelift and/or a deep cleaning inside and out.

I've had some like this in my mind all through covid @bnacincy Something like flying down all the main corridors towards downtown. Or maybe there are paths I could fly that would cover more territory. If there would be interest in something like that, I could definitely start it up with a little planning. It would be awesome to look back on it in 10 years and see all the change.

I've said it before but I'll say it again, airbnb/vrbo and the others a lot of times offer something that a hotel can't and or won't ever to be able to offer in their traditional buildings, the ability for large groups to all stay together in one location for a decent amount of money. Anything over 5 in a traditional hotel, your looking at multiply rooms, all paying the same high rate, with no kitchen, no shared fridge, etc, etc etc. NOW, unfortunately where STRs get their bad rap from is from these larger group houses where the owners are absent or just didn't give a f. They ruin it for everyone. The people who have their house/condo that they rent out for 2-4 people and never have problems are really the bread and butter of the whole system. They don't cause trouble, they pay their taxes, they over rates that people can afford, in the 100-250 a night range, where a hotel downtown is gonna be what 400 bucks a night, if there is an event going on. Ramble, ramble, ramble, but I think my cliff notes point is, if STR owners, make sure they rent to stand up people and take care of their place, the system works 95% of the time for everyone.

That's really all any voting is. Appeal to the demographic that will actually come out and vote.

Dust off the Mayor Berry plan, rebrand recalculate everything, done and done. (dusts off hands). My memory is fuzzy on it but it's pretty similar to this Austin plan isn't it?

It's humorous seeing the crane like that, looks like a wildly dysfunctional construction site. haha

It's a short walk from the Gulch also, it would be perfect for shops that want to serve that clientele but can't afford Gulch rent prices.
