If we are talking about Peter Thiel—the nuttier version of Roy Cohn, only out—don't speculate about the young model Thiel was cheating on his husband with, who made a rather Russian departure from life, off a high-rise balcony, after crashing Mr. & Mr. Thiel's party and causing a row between them.

What’s interesting about this is how much they are so upset about non binding resolutions that do nothing (like the downtown council member filed) but for some reason when a cm actually tries to do something with actual legislation, that also gets criticism.

Nice to have a citation for the stuff we all sort of assume to be true but question if it's just our own biases making it look that way
Screenshot from the article in the quoted post, saying "Piff and his colleagues found that upper-class drivers were more likely to cut other cars off at junctions and ignore pedestrians at crossings. Wealthier people also appeared more willing to lie at work. In one experiment, volunteers were left alone with a jar of sweets ostensibly meant for children. When the researchers returned, upper-class people had snaffled nearly twice as many candies as lower-class people.

“The general pattern seems to be that with wealth and rising power, you become less engaged with the needs of others and less burdened by the needs of social relationships,” Piff said. “Taking candy from children might be the least of our worries but it’s emblematic of the tendency to prioritise one’s own needs over those of others.”

Everyone should be able to walk/bike across the street without fearing for their life. Yet Nashville continues to see pedestrians killed while crossing our roads. No turn on red is a proven step that can help prevent these tragedies. We’ve studied the issue long enough. It’s time to act.

According to NDOT we have 530 miles of bikeways. They claim 55% are “low stress”. That would be about 290 miles or 190 not counting greenways. They consider plastic sticks as low stress. I suggest they ride a bike in Nashville more often.
