It should go without saying that her opinions are her own. While I do agree with most of her positions; not all. One area of disagreement is that I tend to favor less government regulation of property rights; not more. I generally support Non-Owner Occupied Short Term Rental development. We are a tourist destination and NOO STR's are a souse of lodging for the visitors who come to spend money in our city. While I think the roll out of NEST may have been rushed and support the delay to analyze the impact on infrastructure, I support the general framework of the NEST proposal. The main reason we have a lack of affordable housing is government curtailing of housing supply by restrictive zoning. We will either grow denser or have more urban sprawl and less affordable housing.

Hello BRANDON AND ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS
Since you will be voting on several matters of concern below is my opinion and questions about some matters before you tonight.
I would appreciate some responses to my questions.
I spend a few hours on this each meeting I would appreciate a response to my questions.
I and many others will be WATCHING you all on TV!
I have a comment about the TRANSIT use here in Nashville 2024 as per the forecast published by WeGo-MTA, Total Revenue = $11million, Total bus Expense = $102million. This means that for each $2 trip paid by passenger, the cost to non-riding taxpayer additional $18.00. Do you believe Metro Taxpayers would agree for a Tax increase for the Mayor’s “Transit Plan”? Source MTA .
I don’t usually comment on developments outside my council district but since you all are considering ELIMINATING the SINGLE-FAMILY ZONING FOR ALL OF DAVIDSON COUNTY, I WILL NO LONGER LIMIT MY COMMENTS. IN LIGHT OF WHAT YOU ARE ALL CONSIDERING COUNCILMANIC COURTESY SHOULD GO THE WAY OF THE DODO BIRD! In my considered opinion part of the housing problem in Nashville is the NOO STR’S. You passed a zoning class of NS AND IT SHOULD BE USED!!!!!! I have a building right next to me empty Monday -Thurs which could have been several apartments. There is a large building on 31st AVE & LONG BLVD which is 100% AIR BNB/ NOO STR!
