Every time I visit Nashville, I hate it more. It’s honestly my least favorite city in the world. I don’t think anyone here has any taste and that’s why they’re ok living here.

It truly is amazing how quickly that place has lost its charm.
To me Dallas and Houston are still worse; but Nashville is going to join them soon

Heck, this 60,000-seat stadium is projected to cost $2.1 billion … $1.26 billion of which is subsidized by the public.
That makes it the largest stadium subsidy in U.S. history.
And there you have it — you have to pay to keep up with the Joneses in the NFL.
The current stadium is functional, but old and obsolete by today’s standards.
All that concrete and steel and memories of say, “The Music City Miracle” will be torn down.
The key to getting taxpayer money is not letting them vote on it.
Nashville solidified itself as a fake city when it rejected a proposal to build out a light rail network, which included a downtown subway tunnel. And now they just approved a scaled down plan which includes over $3 billion for suburban sidewalks.
One of my favorite YouTube channels just released a doc on the record breaking $1.2 Billion public subsidy for the new Nissan stadium in hopes to snag a Super Bowl.

Starbucks to take up all 250,000 square feet of office space at the Peabody Union mixed use development in downtown Nashville, will invest $100 million and employ 2,000 workers.
Nashville will be home to their "southeast" corporate office while their headquarters will remain in Seattle, but some Seattle based employees will be moved to Nashville.

This specific article doesn't say, but this development is not dissimilar from the Millennium redevelopment. It includes a 27-story apartment tower, 250k sf of office, and a "walkable district" around those two buildings.
Stopped in Nashville on the way to Charlotte for a family function. This city is fascinating, was my first time really seeing its interior, I've only ever driven through. Seemed like there were new apartments going in in every neighborhood, good bad, dense or low density, doesn't seem to matter too much.
Just today a new 515 ft 35 floor office building was announced as the next phase of Nashville Yards, a 19 acre mixed use development that already features tons of restaurants and retail, two large hotels, and office tenants like Pinnacle Financial, PwC, and Amazon, among several others. It will have more than 620,000 square feet of modern Class A office space.
What's so interesting is that Nashville seems to be bucking the trend that even other growing southern cities have been unable to buck. They are building and attracting companies into traditional corporate towers downtown and their downtowm office vacany is under 20%. Compare that to Atlanta's 33%, Dallas' 35%, San Antonio's 26% (40% for Class A), even Austin is 29%. The only comparable city is Charlotte at 23%. I have to wonder what cities like Charlotte and Nashville are doing differently that has helped their economic development be healthier than most of their peers.
Traffic was extremely bad, however. I came in against rush hour traffic leaving the city. Something like a train could help smh.
