I like the idea of keeping it in fewer containers & blocking sunlight. That could improve our experience.

Smaller bags drive up the cost 20% from my quick math.

5lb saves about $200/yr vs 12oz bags at Kroger. Enough to keep sticking w the 5 pounders for now.

Spencer,

What if we keep the beans in a sealed container?

Colby,

What does this have to do with Tom Turner & The Downtown Partnership starting a fire in the library parking garage rendering the city's largest library unusable for half a year;
& Mayor @freddieoconnell.bsky.social & @jkupin4d19.bsky.social rewarding them for this behavior?

I appreciate the iterative approach @nashvilledot.bsky.social is taking with some dangerous spots.

I do wonder if the brakes-slamming behavior will diminish with time? If it doesn't it will feed a political backlash against traffic calming.

That's my fear.

What does this have to do with housing? 😆

Many of the people speaking out against new housing are Millionaires. With much of their net worth in home equity & likely healthy retirement funds.

Good for them(& hopefully me some day)

But we shouldn't punish non-millionaires on their behalf

I saw somewhere else (not the stadium article) that Marketing caters towards the wealthy (no surprise).

But there's an increasing 'Keeping up w the Joneses' trend that pushes people into debt. And that is troubling.

'millionaire' gets less impressive w/ each passing month of inflation. 1 of 15 ppl in the US are millionaires.

I hope to be a 'Millionaire' someday day. A combination of home equity, retirement savings & lack of debt.

wrt the stadium article it makes sense they're catering towards millionaires.

One general complaint/ repeated rant I see on Speed-cushion posts is:

Some drivers slow down to almost a stop at each mat. I have been in rideshares that do this & driven behind drivers that do this. It is indeed irritating. The Stop & Start

My personal comfort zone on speed cushions is 20-25mph.

Yep, I was wrong. Don't jump off a bridge just because I do!

I think I gained confidence in that assumption because of the fresh lettering in thermoplastic.

Wrongly assumed they did both at the same time.

Yeah, hopefully at least one town takes advantage & causes other towns to become jealous & do their own TOD.

I feel like the towns will be unable to ignore how much their budgets improve once a few big buildings get built next to the train stations.

Apparently it was a vandal that chopped down the flex posts. NDOT is going to replace them.

Greenfield between Inglewood Kroger & Walgreen's.

When NDOT did the original install the workers left two extra flex posts strewn in the grass.

I grabbed them & contacted NDOT to come get them but they never did. So I just had 2 flex posts in my yard & recently used 1 to do a replacement.

I'm cool with that one person being involved.

When I was at TDOT we had a street safety project in Chattanooga where a guy's house had been run into multiple times.

He'd spent $10k on boulders & had to get a State Senator involved before they put a steel guardrail in front of his home.

Going to push back ever so gently against my good friend @careyrogers.bsky.social

NDOT should just do it, don't stop to ask neighbors.

If NDOT wants to put out a post of what they've already done I think that could be informative.

But for stuff like this they should move quickly.

Thanks for filling us in, Emily!

I did think it was pretty crude to just cut them off.

The vandal could have asked me what socket size to use.

I repaired one myself last month.

Let's make it 3

Very true. I'm cool with that. I want more housing in general. It's not about one neighborhood.

Also good bc it cracks the mystique of RS (Nashville's purest exclusionary zoning category).
