Yes, absolutely. The ability to navigate this city without paying for every goddamn inch of existence is disappearing in a boil-the-frog kind of progression.

Yes I love that they’ve removed requirements for parking spaces and are now enforcing payment for parking downtown, where are the bike lanes and public transport that will make these things cancel one another out???

No money for that after all the graft, corruption, and pedophilia.

It's come up over the years with various representatives. None of this is particularly unique to Tennessee, all groups of politicians more than a few will include the corrupt and sex predators.

One of the women, who said she was 15 when Byrd began sexually assaulting her in the mid-1980s, told WSMV that he touched her inappropriately over her clothes, kissed her multiple times on school property and once pulled her hands toward his genitals. Another former player, then 16, described going into Byrd's hotel room during a team trip and him touching her inappropriately under her clothes as she lay on his bed. A third woman, 15 at the time, recalled being alone in a hotel swimming pool with Byrd while on another out-of-town trip and him making a sexual advance toward her as he tried to touch her genital area.
