The Washington metro population was 1.7 million circa 1968 when Metro was funded. That's exactly what Nashville is at now.
I don't see any commentators who are familiar with how Nashville is physically laid out. It has one of the most complicated layouts in the United States, filled with all sorts of nuance that isn't obvious on Google Maps or even when driving around. Superficially it looks like an ordinary place but it is far from it. I asked for specific recommendations from the nay-sayers. They don't even know the street names. They don't know how to pronounce Demonbreun.
Nashville is going to blow past places like Cleveland in size in the 2020s so let's not hear about the Health Line. It's small-time and Nashville needs a big-time solution.
