I work in development.

But you keep on laughing, smart***
Believe me, I will.
It simply shows your ignorance....
Ignorance is you thinking you know more than I do in the field that my education and career are in. Like I previously said, these developments are nice for Memphis, but in the grand scheme of it all, I highly doubt they will spur any further development in the core. There are pockets here and there in Memphis that are prime for development, but the want isn't there for a more urban life style and the money sure isn't.
Continue to think that politicians in Memphis will facilitate public and private development that's worth talking about. Private developers don't only develop their city, the also look for development opportunities in other cities. The lack of that interest in Memphis isn't a fluke.
You love Nashville and continually talk about them so much, how about you see where the majority of the money developing that city right now is coming from. It was funny to see the Mayor and other homers bragging about how Memphis was the most affordable city to live in. That means your city is cheap because you don't have nice things. I said it in another thread, but I feel like saying it again, all of you native life long Memphians that have never lived somewhere else in another state should try it. You'll be surprised what living in a nice city is like where you can actually use the public transportation.
I honestly don't see the benefit, financially or socially for people to continue to live I Memphis.
Do you use public transportation in Nashville?
I don't live in Nashville.
You folks are so bothered by Nashville. Why do you constantly want to compare Nashville and Memphis?
Who mentioned the public transportation in Nashville? Fact: public transportation in the south is frowned upon by many people because they see the bus as a service to only be used by poor and black people. Who here rides the bus in Memphis? Crickets...

Well, sorry to pop your theory but I was born and raised in Memphis and have lived in:
Memphis 18 yrs.
Nashville 2 yrs.
New Orleans 25 yrs.
Houston, on and off, 2 yrs.
Mason City IA--17 yrs
As far as ranking those cities as places I prefer, I would say New Orleans, Memphis, Houston, Nashville, and Mason City.
People have different tastes and I personally don't care much for white-bread suburban type cities. I like old style places like New Orleans and Memphis.
Oh, and btw, last time I checked, public transportation ridership in Memphis is about double what it is in Nashville, so the "usability problem" seems to be Nashville's.
But they're actively trying to make theirs better. Blame your leadership and city councilmen. Hopefully they fix the mountain of issues they face and move forward on something else.

You're a condescending jerk.
I'm just speaking in the truth. It hurts at times.
