“If you’re going to err, you want to err on the side of neighborhoods,” Young said at the time. “You always want to give them the time to air their concerns.”
This will be fun to watch as the Council "struggles" with what is a (done deal). I wonder how much, if any, purchases will be made from Youngs business by Throneberry.

Yes, I wish I even knew about these meetings before they started erecting college housing on nearby Halls Hill Pike. Not that it would have been stopped. BTW, what is Young's business?

Councilman Young owns City Tile and he is the one who made the motion for approval of a questionable zoning request. This could have and should have been a planned development where the Council would have been able to see a comprhensive plan for the development. As it is now it is left up to the Planning Commission to decide traffic and drainage issues. Guess who is on the Planning Commission? Young who made the motion for approval and Gilley who seconded it. Like I said previously it was a done deal before the curtain went up. This is another example of why we need Councilmanic Districts.

I would like to know if this is really a good time to be building? Who is going to get these little apartments? People who lost their jobs or lost their houses?

This is prime Real Estate next to MTSU. Bridgestone is all but gone, Nissan may shut down, Pillsbury might close, but MTSU will never go anywhere but up. It is obvious that none of you have any business sense. Go "whine" somewhere else... crybabys!

PS: This is for bota and everybody who constantly "strums bota's theme". Doug Young is a great man, leader, and took time out of his life to run for, and be elected to, our City Council. That is the epitome of American Politics. Do not try to "tie" every decision that these people make to the benefit of themselves. Who do you want up there doing that anyway... SMART PEOPLE I HOPE??? Pretty soon nobody of any expertice or experience or accomplishment will ever want to run for office, and we will just be stuck with "Yes People". It has already happened in Washington.

Well, soon2b6, or soon2b60, It is not the business sense I myself was talking about. If you are taking classes at MTSU, I am sure the facility offers economic classes are business classes. However, when an economic meltdown crushes jobs, such as the one we are in, eventually the local univeristy is going to be affected. Without local, state, and federal taxes even profeesors can end up in a soup line. Pay attention, because the state of Tennessee is looking at cutting the budget because of a shortfall in funds (lack of tax revenue) coming in. The lack of tax revenue came when the taxpayers at Bridgestone,Pillsbury, lost their jobs. So I am doubtful MTSU will weigh more the list of keeping up limited budget revenue than say, police, or firefighters. MTSU can gain from raising your tuition.
