I appreciate both of you for being able to discuss religion and come to an amiable conclusion without getting all offended by the other's position. In other words, an adult discussion.

Hey guys, don't get me wrong about homeless people in Nashville or anywhere else. There are many types of Homeless people but most fall into four categories. Some may be in all or others just a combination of them.

A. Criminal element

B. Substance abusers

C. Mentally Ill

D. The truly homeless that have lost their home and have no where else to go.

The ones I have problems with are the people in A and B. These are the trouble makers along with a number of the mentally ill. Many of the mentally ill are most of the time, harmless souls that our government does not want to help, (the democrats we cant keep them locked up) (the republicans, we don't have the money). That is what is boils down to.

The ones on the street that are very visible are the folks in the first three groups. These are the ones that either want to continue their nefarious activities or do not want the help if they have to work for it.

The folks in category D are normally not seen and many times you would not know they were homeless and the ones that want to change. I am not a heartless animal and I give money and water and food to some of these folks.

The ones that need to be off the street are the ones causing problems for everyone else, homeless and residents alike. These are the ones that ruin it for everyone else. These are the ones that litter, destroy property, defecate on the sidewalk and the ones that need to be incarcerated. I have had run ins with some that would not take no for an answer when they asked for money.

We need to take this to the Coffee House. Please.

I completely disagree, but support your opinion to take such an extreme stand ....I am curious which city or cities pass this rather high bar?

 (Relevant quotes above)

It is interesting you choose to virtue signal based on your (Purposeful?) mischaracterization of my post. An easy way to avoid this in the future is with the available ‘quote’ feature on the board. So you are arguing against a straw man when you write....(see quote below)

"Extreme" to want to assist those most in need? Wow... that is not a world I want to live in.  And people wonder why people are leaving the church in droves

‘If’ you want to support the original assertion (by FrankNash) We can have a real discussion.....but I doubt you do as it is ‘extreme’ and unrealistic.

The converted warehouse that had been the home for 8 months to Kuchnia & Keller at the NE corner of  3rd Ave. North and Monroe is going to reopen as Mop/Broom Mess Hall, and will be very family-oriented in menu and presentation.

Or perhaps it's more to do with your condescension.  Throwing in a handful of buzzwords from the internet debate starter kit doesn't help; most on this board are perfectly capable of dissecting an "argument" on their own.

I deleted my comment as it was not helpful to the health of the board..... let’s move along.

The owners of Chicago-based deep dish pizza chain Gino’s East are targeting an early 2019 opening in the SoBro building last home to Italian restaurant Sole Mio.

There will be a complete overhaul of the one story structure at 311 Third Ave. S. with more than $1.1 million in interior and exterior upgrades. Barry Brechak Architecture + Design is handling the design work. When finished, the building will offer a large-scale outdoor dining area, distinctive "Gino's East of Chicago" signage, a brick exterior, and a walk-up window to buy slices of pizza. A rendering is below.

Kind of fascinating that in the middle of all that density they're sticking with one story and sinking that much money into it. Why not at least toss up a few floors of walk-up airbnbs above it?

[Bos2Nash]

appears this will be a significant renovation and addition for the existing building. Finishes and material selection will dictate the success of this project, but it is nice looking as of now.

[Nash_12South]

It will be shoe horned between two parking garages. It better be pretty nice inside.

I can't wait till Gino's East is open.  Chicago pizza is life.

Wow....it will be interesting to see if they are able to increase their rents to longer-tern tenants since said tenants are now able to use their apps. for airbnb.....

[Hey_Hey]

I’ve heard a rumor of a condo building that is planned with a similar concept somewhere downtown. Owners would be allowed to rent out their units a large percentage of the time to supplement income. For the developer could make sense because it could increase the average sales prices based on expected income.
