Nashville - slowly turning paradise into Atlanta since 1999.

Quote:Nashville's council signed off on the agreement with a 26-12 final vote

A city council with 38 members? Holy taxpayer drain, Batman!

It's a metro council which encompasses all of Davidson county. It's large but a much more efficient form of government

Unlike the one here.

That's still large for a county council.

Nashville is Atlanta, but with a trucker hat and a bigger bar tab

Cool new stadium for the Oilers

Can confirm firsthand that Nashville is a very fun place to live but it is definitely turning into Atlanta for country music fans.

We've got the infrastructure and roads of a city on the level of Birmingham in the 80s, but we continue building bigger and growing nonstop.

So much more efficient…and effective. But Bham suburbs will never relinquish their fiefdoms.

So we'll pay for umpteen different Police and Fire Chiefs, city governments, school systems and administrators,water systems, etc. while not all pulling on the same rope trying to attract big companies and denying efficiencies of scale.

Good old Birmingham.

My one vote carries more weight in my small town. I vote no for a metro council.[/font]
