Mayoral Debate 08/25/07 Click Affordable Housing question link


Its alwhays cool when not only does a politician have a good idea, but they are whilling to embrace others good ideas. Thanks for the Name Drop Bob!

P.s. Even if it doesn't help here is an explanation of our(the Eatons) Affordable Housing Plan.

1. Stop Building New Houses and Communities using Government housing funds.

2. takes the Federal/State Funds And allocate them towards repairing blighted homes in blighted areas.

3. Use these funds to REPAIR these Blighted homes; as well as to purchase these homes (which run from $20,000- $60,000 as opposed to a new build of $90,000-$190,000) to resell to those who need low cost affordable housing.

This isn't a Karl Dean Style plan for a reason... A person who can't afford a $190,000 Home {or the outrageous property taxes on a $190,000 home per year} isn't a part of Karl Dean's Nashville. Those of you who are smart enough to read this NEED To realize DEAN is going to further separate the Haves in our City From the Have Nots.

Call Me Elitist... Call me a Dumb Redneck.... But I don't Want a Northern Born, gold-digging attorney running my town. Something gives me a feeling people in my economic bracket (that would be dirt poor at this moment in time) are going to be left out in the cold during a Karl Dean Administration.

Anywhay.... (I'm going to start using wh {as in which} instead of w {as in want}... its just more fun that whay) I whill have further commentary on this when I feel like it... but at least whanted to thank Bob and his organization for the familial 'props'!

So We May Pay More to Keep PREDS???

Thanks to Kleinheider For Posting this Video!

The Investor Group wants us to ante up $15,000,000-$18,000,000 ($3,000,000 -$5,000,000 more of our tax dollars) for them to buy out the preds contract and keep them in Nashville.


While Karl and Bob both take a line of "the Public needs to be involved. The public needs to be fully informed and aware of whats going on as this process goes forward." and "they(the local investors) Really need to open it up, they've got everyone on their side now. I'm for full disclosure{...} first of all they need to share the information, and a lot of the information is being sealed." respectively...

What I would like to know is will our Next Mayor sell us out to a local investor group? Our Schools have issues, our Police Department has morale issues; and these investors want us to throw 3 to 5 million of our tax dollars into a sports venture? I know how much the predators help downtown businesses, but with a proper business plan a sports team is not necessary for a business to succeed in the Downtown District of a Metropolitan city.

Secondly, Why do we want to spend our tax dollars on a sports team that our citizens don't want to see? If the Predators had high enough ticket sales a move would be impossible; yet these sales goals CANNOT be reached. If Nashville Doesn't want the team here, then its time to let the move occur and put these tax dollars back to good use.

and heres an idea... How about if your a fan... Save up the $731 and buy a season pass? it only takes 5,000 to keep the team...

just a thought from a very dark room.
