What is the homelessness situation like in Nashville? Currently live in Seattle and things are out of control here. Everything's too expensive, and the city doesn't have enough shelters for everyone. It's a mess. Hoping to move somewhere calmer where the city gives a f*ck about it's people. Mother in law lives in Nashville and she'd love to be closer to the grandkids, but rampant homelessness is a deal breaker for me.

It's not like that lol. But it's not like that because of the way people vote, so don't come here to escape certain problems and then vote the same way again.

What a stupid take… we have a lot of homeless people and rising costs of living because of the way people vote. Instead of trying to address the problem republicans just try to make “public camping” illegal. The whole you can move here but don’t bring your blue state political views is the stupidest and most over used statement I see.

Agreed! Support those who are rising to the challenge. Mayor John Cooper just helped convince the Metro Council to approve an allocation of $50M in one-time federal funds to be used in a set of programs that’ll support developers of deeply-affordable housing, support temporary housing, fund housing-first support services and incentivize landlords and developers to relax restrictive barriers to housing. This just came thru in October.

It definitely depends on where you live in Nashville. Obviously, higher income areas have less visibility into the issues. Individuals experiencing homelessness are increasing in Nashville. If you drive through less affluent areas or anywhere around major intersections or interstate access it is rampant. Encampments are growing and popping up in more visible areas despite a law making public camping a felony. The resources are not here. Housing is not affordable and services are underfunded. We have some GREAT non profit organizations working hard to house people but they are definitely fighting a steep up hill battle.

Compared to Seattle this is nothing. It exists here, but not even close to the same scale.

I spend a lot of time in Seattle, so even though I definitely notice homelessness in midtown Nashville where I live, it doesn’t even feel a tenth as widespread as in Seattle. That was actually a contributing factor in me not moving there even though I have a huge network there and a remote job.

People are moving here and the job market sucks.

There are pockets of homelessness but Nashville is way better than DC where i was just at if you can use that as a rubric.

Only been to Seattle once and it wasn’t bad then but it was 2018 and I stayed in the nice areas so can’t compare it now to Nashville

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Last night I went over to my friends house (she has 2 kids, 2 and 4 yo). She and her husband were asking me about my pregnancy and planning. And were asking what I’ve prepped to date. I’m only 13w2 days so I think it’s way to early for buying stuff, but I did mention we hired a baby nurse for when the baby comes. My friend completely berated me, short of calling me a bad mom already, saying “what is she going to do all day? Don’t you want to bond with your child?”. I’m so upset by this.

It's exhausting... Thoughts?
