Entertainment aside, Nashville is at least another 15 years of solid growth to join the tier of present-day Denver, and at least 20 years behind present-day Minneapolis or San Diego. Realistically, Nashville in 2030 will be like Charlotte of 2020.
The above doesn't make an ounce of sense.

There's nothing about Denver, Minneapolis, and Charlotte that Nashville wants.
The only thing about San Diego that Nashville would want is the polarcoaster and skyspire. Oops.....Nashville is getting those also. Well then just throw San Diego in with the ice box cities.

I seriously doubt that you speak for all of Nashville. And you may not want it, but the Business Community definitely wants something that Denver, Minneapolis, Charlotte and San Diego all have - rail transit.
You need to get your act together on that asap, or all of these proposals won't mean much if you're mired in constant gridlock.
And if Charlotte is an 'ice box city,' what does that make Nashville?
I think this impacts Nashville the most, Crystal City, VA next, and Long Island City, Queens lastly. Nashville's Nashville Yards project added another tower for Amazon, and this entire new development area is going to be a destination for a lot of folks looking for entertainment, living, and vibrancy options in Nashville.
Amazon coming in will definitely increase rents, and will encourage many other companies to locate to Nashville or open offices in the city. Vibrancy, a 24/7 dynamic and bringing more workers and residents to downtown and midtown will be the result in 5 years from now in Nashville. It's huge and will continue to be one of Nashville's many success stories that allowed the city to move into another tier.
In the past 5-7 years, Nashville has moved beyond the tier city grouping with Birmingham, Louisville, Memphis, New Orleans, etc., and is now sitting alongside such cities as Indianapolis, Austin, Cincinnati, and Orlando.
By 2030, Nashville will be seated at the same table as Denver, Minneapolis, Tampa and San Diego.
As mentioned earlier in this thread, Nashville's big elephant in the room is the lack of embrace of public transportation/metro rail. This attitude has to change for the city to truly become a well-oiled machine of the future. The automobile has to become a piece of the transportation solution--not the only option.
This makes perfect sense. Nashville's seat is polished clean and ready. People in disbelief have been asleep.
Agreed The poster above that said Nashville will be where Charlotte is in 2030 couldn't have a clue, now that makes no sense....
Charlotte added 50k people to its metro population from 2016-2017 while Nashville added only 35k, not to mention Charlotte metro is already 600k people bigger in much less land area. Economy wise, Charlotte metro will easily join the 200-billion GDP club by 2020. Nashville metro's GDP was 134b in 2017 and grew by 7.2b from 2016 to 2017. If Nashville ever gets going with light rail, the system won't be running before 2030. Uptown is also erecting tall buildings just as fast as downtown Nashville while maintaining a comfortable lead in height and sheer number of finished buildings. I currently live in west Nashville and work in Cool Springs on my 12-month job assignment. Family live near UNC-Charlotte so I spend a considerable amount of time in both cities. Nashville is where Charlotte was in 2008-in look and feel- before the financial crisis. IMHO Nashville is overhyped and expensive for what it is. People around here talk about this city as if it were Seattle or Montreal. Apartment rental prices are approaching rental prices in DC suburbs only a few years ago. I love how Nashville is growing and its transformation during the last 15 years is nothing short of impressive but the city populace sometimes get too far ahead of themselves.
Amazon, now Google and Facebook are looking at NYC for expansion. Good luck with that. Unless those jobs are paying $200k a year, living in NYC is too expensive and too crowded. What are these companies thinking? You have great tech hubs on the east coast that are less expensive and less congested a short distance from NYC.
With the coming Maglev and Hyperloop projects from DC to NYC, locating in NYC would be a moot point anyway.

Google already has a large NYC presence, so they are doubling down on that effort.
But I do think NYC is the safe option for large companies looking to expand. It is a shame in a way because there are so many other qualified regions that could use the investment, yet NYC has them lined up at the door.
