"The fucking Mayans were right."

At this point I think we'd be better off if the Council just bumped up the floor on every single residential zone so that you could build at least 2 units on every single lot in the city, if you wanted to. It would be a lot simpler and the effects would be much clearer.
Nashville has a kind of weird zoning situation where almost all the core neighborhood lots are allowed to have at least 2 "condos" on them which basically meant duplexes until Nashville exploded and everyone wanted SFHs. At first they were required to be joined in some way so there are a lot of party wall 2-pack townhomes but also some really dumb stuff like this: https://goo.gl/maps/2Zc23va4stB2 . Everyone realized that was dumb so amended it to allow 2 free-standing "horizontal property regime" units on a single lot. So on, for example, a 50'x150' lot there are two SFHs, but legally each owner only owns the structure, and all of the yard etc is owned in common by an HOA of 2.

Everyone mocks and hates on the tall skinnies but IMO they're one of the best things going for Nashville right now, at least in terms of allowing densification of core neighborhoods. However, I'm betting the thousands of mini-HOAs are going to lead to a lot of nasty legal fights, they should really just mass-subdivide those lots.

Any updates to the neighborhood have to bring up the home value or everyone's major investment for retirement looses value.


Mah Home Values!! :bahgawd: is the free space of NIMBY bingo. It's just an excuse for not liking something people have already decided they don't like and it's almost certainly an unverifiable claim. IMO it's mostly bullshit since people wanting to build new stuff in your neighborhood is likely a good sign for property values, unless it's a highway bypass or garbage dump or something.
