Nashville is effectively the entire county by population. 690,000 of the 716,000 in the county live in Nashville city limits.

Haha ok bud. Just to be clear I said almost a decade. And you are free to doubt but I have run teams that sell over 200 homes a year and have not seen a huge number of appraisals come up that short. One of my best friends is a lender and another close friend owns an AMC. I’ve also been through multiple refinances. And am currently developing an automated appraisal system using machine learning and AI. Explain to me which standard appraisal practices change based on the type of transaction? I’m not doubting that there are bad appraisers, there certainly are, but I’m doubting that it is a common occurrence. It is especially rare to see appraisals lowballed by 33%. I have been involved in transactions where the appraisal came in 10% below what I felt was market rate and that was outrageous 33% is insane.

RIP this animal deserved so much more. What a sickening place. Wish it would shut down.

When the numbers show that black and latino-owned homes get lowballed twice as often as white homes, and when the lowball is such an incredibly huge amount, it's pretty safe to say race is probably involved.

Also, it's a pretty safe rule of thumb to never fully trust what a realtor says. They're society's worst people, taking cover behind bad lawyers and politicians.

This place is an absolutely terrible theme park. Horrible place to go for that poor Orca. Would have been better off almost anywhere else.

Appraisers treat Latinos even worse, strangely enough. The article only mentioned Blacks, Latinos, and Whites though.

According to the article, Latinos take it even worse.

What a miserable life.

Some day we’ll look at these things with as much abhorrence as we do human zoos.

It’s well-known that Jesus invented the Baker’s Dozen.

That’s what I’ve started doing as well.

Not sure if it's accurate or fair to compare a city council's size with (checks notes), a civil liberty that's been adjudicated by the SCOTUS.

Nashville is a Metro government, though. Meaning that the city and the county it is in are combined. I've never lived there, but if they think 40 seats are good, who am I to argue with them?

I think it already has. I don't recognize Tennessee anymore.

If the citizens of a town in California wanted to refuse to recognize gay marriage, it’s “undemocratic” for the state to circumvent that? I mean sure, by some definition it is, but that doesn’t mean it’s illegal or wrong for legislation to pass if residents of a city disagree with it

I work nationally.

One would presume it became that way because the citizens of that city wanted it like that, so yeah it probably is an undemocratic...something
