What she’s saying: “It is a reflection of the city taking the issue of affordable housing really seriously,” Metro’s housing division director Angie Hubbard tells Axios. She says the housing situation is “dire” in Nashville as in other major cities.
“It’s dire everywhere,” she says. “When people can’t afford their housing, they’re making choices that affect their physical health, their mental health, other opportunities they might pursue. It’s not just that we don’t have enough housing, it’s so much deeper than that. Cities feel the impact when they can’t house their workforce.”
