The Nashville skyline has a building what looks like Batman, what does YOUR dumb city have? Nashville is a fast-growing city that looks like it was originally designed by a toddler on meth who just REALLY loves circles. The traffic there? ES BAD! But at least downtown is in the middle. Memphis, on the other hand, starts at the Mississippi River, moving east (and north and south), and developers have historically treated the surrounding land like it's AT LEAST twice as big as Siberia, and probably bigger. In short, the two largest cities in Tennessee need more mass transit options, and BAD.
Probably they'd say, in Swedish: "Better weather, no religious wars, Russia's not going to invade, and I can have some free land they stole off the Injuns for me."
There is plenty of parking, so anyone can go there in their view. They don't like poors, cripples and freaks messing up the view. They aren't too enthusiastic about darker skin than theirs either. The minimum wage people who work down there have managed with car pools and bicycles, so why spend money?
I can't imagine why the Koch Brothers would oppose mass transit. Oh wait. Maybe it has something to do with them making billions as long as people keep using oil in as large a quantity as possible?
There really should be consequences for kochers and their ilk when they buy political outcomes like this... The victims of their bribery should be able to sue for tortious interference or something. Every Nashvillian who is late to or misses work due to no Amp and every business who can quantify the loss of business from no Amp should be able to sue them.
A fiend, who is a more consistent reader, than I, may have it. I definitely have heard of it, and his dastardly deals. I think when you get shit named after you, you were either good, or evil.
I lived in Nashville in the late 70's. For a city where tourism was the number three industry, they had the shittiest freeway system that easily mystified out-of-towners.
Heck, even here in Mexico City we have decent public transit. Crowded, but I can get where I need to go. Also, city bicycles (though I ride my own, electro-bike) AND... best of all... a new city traffic law coming in December giving priority to pedestrians, then bicycles, then public transit, and only then to private autos.
"Railless rail". Help me out: is that what the rest of the world would call a busway, or a trolley-busway?

I don't know, it's awfully tempting...muuwahaha!
Kochs are just misunderstood liberals: http://www.washingtontimes....

Yeah - it's bus-like, in that it's a bus. But it only stops in a few places instead of every other block.

Do ya think?

Re the photo, Austin TX has a nose-hair trimmer.

friend, not fiend. Although he has his days...
That building looks like Mordor. Into which one does not just walk.

No shit? You're on top of things aren't you?
