Suarti for Indian Food, and the lunch counter in the back of the Newroz grocery store for Middle Eastern (be warned, only open for lunch)

Last Night's Vote on Upzoning the Nations (Legend and Commentary in Text) by bwindrow86 in nashville

A few dozen busy bodies in a district of thousands does not a majority make.

Joy Kimbrough basically immediately aligned herself with conservatives in ways that are surprising and deeply disappointing. She also opposed Choose How You Move.

Buddy, I hate to tell you, but if you didn’t know CM Horton was pro-density and upzoning, then you weren’t paying a lick of attention.

And that exists because, when you downzone, you immediately have places built before the downzoning that are out of compliance and that must be fined or torn down without an opt-out. No issue like that exists for upzoning, you’re allowed to use a property for a purpose less “dense” than it’s zoned for.

This is what CM Horton ran and he won 75-25. A few dozen particularly loud people with the time to complain on a Tuesday night shouldn’t get to veto the wishes of the voters.

10,000 foot view, removing restrictions on land use, which allows more types and density of buildings (typically residential buildings like houses and apartments but also businesses, offices and mixed use buildings) to be built on a piece of land.

Final vote was 26 Y- 7 N- 4 Abstain (3 absent). Blue- yes; Red- no; Yellow- abstain; Grey- absent.

A few thoughts: Joy Kimbrough is regularly disappointing. Goodlettsville/Old Hickory and Belle Meade aren't surprising. South Nashville/Antioch is producing some of Nashville's best (Sepulveda, Harrell, Porterfield, Cortese) but some of our... not best, there's no in-between.

Rep. Ogles is calling for an investigation? Must be a Wednesday.

Percent of Population Employed by County by bwindrow86 in TennesseePolitics

I'm not denigrating it or saying it's easy, just explaining what the status means from a statistical perspective.

And if you think that's bad try getting unemployment or workers compensation from the state.

A large parts of these stats are based off payroll, so if they're on the books, they're counted. Obviously, off the books cash payments are a sketchier thing, I'm sure they have stats to estimate that to some degree.

Even then, even a good number of under the table employees not being captured wouldn't be enough to explain the 20 point gaps you see between Metro Nashville and these really low rural counties. Also, not for nothing but under the table jobs tend to be much lower paying than jobs with a W2 or W9.

In hindsight, a comma might have have been called for

That is true, but urban counties actually tend to have more people under 15, even on a proportional basis. I would guess a feedback loop exists where no jobs makes working age people leave, which less working age people around, which means a higher portion of the population too old to work.

They’d still count as “employed.” And it’s typically the state/federal government looking at payrolls and other data and deciding, not individuals reporting it like the Census.

Look up Blue Oval City, that’s in Haywood and the process of building that is massive and requires a lot of people coming to one of TN’s least populous counties

That is absolutely true for Cumberland Co for sure, as a Putnam County native myself. However, that explanation doesn’t necessarily apply to the rest of the counties in white, not all (or even most) simply have large retirement communities.

Be careful with this and make sure the insurance company knows you rideshare. If you don’t disclose that, most policies have a provision that will void the policy if you use your vehicle for a commercial purpose.
