Quote:So what makes Nashville a "big city"?  I noticed in your mix of cities you didn't choose San Francisco, LA, NYC, Chicago or Detroit.

 

Things are sometimes "black and white", true/false, 1/0, etc. however you want to look at it.  I would bet that the vast majority of residents of Duval county as well as Clay, St. Johns, etc. would rather not have the city turn into another dumpster like San Francisco.  My guess is that it's just a matter of time, and it's coming shortly where San Francisco becomes another "ghost town" like Detroit.

 

Warehouse and/or manufacturing jobs support a healthy middle class.  A healthy middle class is what grows a community.  Our country's greatness didn't come from the upper class or "educated" people, it was built by hard working people (something that evades the left and/or liberals).

 

Heck, look at the current plans for the riverfront floated by none other than Shad Khan among others.  Just building it would be a good thing for our local economy, and it does create JOBS.  You might not like the jobs created, but the people that actually live here would probably not only benefit from it, but also appreciate it.
