Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 10hA luxury developer pivoting to build cheaper new homes? No, that can’t be right I was assured that this was impossible www.bizjournals.com/nashville/ne... 240
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Yes, overlays definitely protect small, affordable homes. That makes perfect sense 110
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Yet another argument for allowing more people to live in Nashville’s streetcar suburbs with more robust power infrastructure like Germantown, especially in the face of increased storm intensities caused by climate change www.tennessean.com/story/weathe... 140
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Trying to get to Wedgewood Houston and the (bike)way is shut. Fix it @neilkornutick.bsky.social 1142
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 08/10/2026No one is saying otherwise. Part of the context, IMO, is that the people who decide our zoning code are older, whiter, and wealthier than our city, and wildly out of step with the city as a whole I’m glad you’re finally acknowledging that market rate homes lower housing costs, though! #Progress 000
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 06/10/2026It’s hard not to read this as a straightforward attempt to elevate one landowning man’s opinion over the feedback of *thousands* of Nashvillians solicited over years of planning His safety will suffer too, but not nearly as much as the pedestrians and cyclists this amendment chooses to ignore 150
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Hitting my local mall on my way to work to do some quick shopping 🙏 180
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I do not think drivers as a group can safely navigate turning right on red (yes they were on their phone) 4190
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It’ll be a historic landmark soon (at least in this house) 050
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 28/09/2026To be clear I’m making fun of Franklin as a concept. Nothing but sympathy for the fine people that now have to serve these cowards just to pay their rent 000
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I just don’t know about Franklin, man. Is it even safe to walk around there? 230
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If you squat down on the roof deck you can’t even see the highway I swear 020
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 27/09/2026new CRJ intro track is about the housing crisis btw 010
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Did you know that: 1) Nashville is a NACTO member city? 2) NACTO guidelines require No Right On Red signage at bike boxes? 2255
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Which way, western man www.newschannel5.com/news/nashvil... 271

Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Why was a private company’s logo on the slideshow at a public meeting to discuss public policy lol 292
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Anyways now that the ̶l̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶o̶w̶n̶e̶r̶s̶ stakeholders have had their (rather emotional, I must say) input, can we do what we said we were going to do 290
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Grateful for the professional staff that gave a great presentation. I remain confused about the need for this meeting, and I worry that the point was to reach a different consensus with a smaller, more privileged group to create permission to disregard extensive Connect Downtown feedback 1141
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Just saw a band from Richmond at the 5 Spot that took the 56 bus here btw 2191

Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 17/09/2026We biked it on bike share e bikes. A delightful afternoon 010
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 17/09/2026CRJ releasing a DOUBLE album tomorrow and my boss gave me the day off. Now that’s allyship 350
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Ironically, the signaled intersection at the property owned by Mr. Liff is an ideal candidate for banning right turns on red, specifically because of the historic building and its lack of setbacks (also the presence of a bike lane) 020
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 16/09/2026NDOT’s own action plan identifies no RTOR as a low cost treatment with significant benefits 170
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 16/09/2026We already did that. Extensively. And what do you know: “a majority of people identified safety as their top priority” @jkupin4d19.bsky.social www.nashville.gov/sites/defaul... 1161
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I also want to see who will attend these meetings. How many will live on the High Injury Network? Will they be an accurate socioeconomic representation of their district? 170
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 16/09/2026We have already engaged the community re: no right on red www.nashville.gov/departments/... 3151
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Nashville friends - a coworker’s bike was stolen on 2nd Ave near Demonbreun downtown today. This is the bike, just with no mirror. Please let me (or MNPD I guess) know if you see it! 051
Ben Vaught @benvaught.bsky.social · 11/09/2026It doesn’t make sense to me that a bill to build more homes “did nothing to improve affordability” but also investors are cutting rents because of all the new apartments tnledger.com/editorial/Ar... 1732337
