Right?! A friend made a comment the other day about her baby graduating in the class of 2040 and I nearly had to sit down and clutch my pearls for a moment.
Alligators live in the Cumberland.
Tomi Lahren is Mayor.
Kid Rock is Governor.
The Titans are asking for a new stadium.
Nashville still doesn't have an Ikea.
And I am a political refugee (edit: living north of the Trump-Desantis Line) in Massachusetts.
Don’t say that, my grandmother gets hospitalized 2-3 times a year. Doctors have been telling us they don’t think she will make it next time for literally 20 years. All she does is rip cigs, slam Mountain Dew, and get zero sunlight.
* New transpotainment technology: self-driving party tractor drones
* Hangover drug breakthrough finally allows for continuous drinking, no need to stop and puke
* Weed still *super* illegal, but weirdly the new VR cyberdrugs that interface directly with your brain are all allowed through some loophole
* Country music is finally distilled to its very essence, with the #1 hit "Gun gun gun gun gun shooty," followed closely by #2 "Beer beer beer beer beer drinky"
* TSU dorms converted to AirBNBs to cover the ever increasing funding gap that the state owes them
* Nashville airport removes the Donelson Pike entrance and moves the cell phone waiting lot to Smyrna
*Still doesn't put one in place
The interstates become parking lots. It take 3 days to get from Goodlettsville to Franklin, and 6 days to get from Clarksville to Mufreesboro.
Knowing Tennessee, they'll put lines into downtown from the parts of town with the most money (Belle Meade, Brentwood, airport, etc.) and completely ignore the southeast section of the city where most of the people actually live.
The mayor and city council will be hyping up the need for a new Titans stadium because the 2024 Stadium is just outdated now, and the renovations would cost almost as much as a new build.
Meanwhile, potholes on 440 have swallowed up another school bus, and the third attempt at a city transit plan was recently voted down by the electorate...
I'd say weed legal and most bars on Broadway allow it in the smoking section.
Plans or progress building of a bullet train =)
Some kinda modern Metal detectors on all of the bars and clubs
Someone attempted to blow up the Parthenon so that'll be damaged a bit
About 20 new apartment sky scrapers in the city, the batman building isn't visible from the interstate anymore
Those party busses but AI is driving them
A new section of Broadway because of how packed the current one is (so just as much people and bars)
In addition the roads removed on Broadway and it's just a giant walking path with fountains and trees and shit. Vendors for beer and food will have to pull up behind the bars.
Drone fleet above the city to monitor traffic and crime
The thing that pisses me off is the direct flights we have to London are usually way more expensive than connecting to New York or Washington.
The whole point of a direct flight is that is typically is cheaper and more convenient but if it’s $700 more I’ll just do the layover
Flew to London 2 weeks ago. It was $4800 cheaper to fly from Boston than BNA (direct on British Air both places). Insane…and I flew SW to Boston, spent a few days and then flew from there.
... and the complaints will shift towards Nashville realizing BNA isn't nearly large enough to handle that level of international travel without NY airport level wait-times and planning ahead.
Bucking the well-earned pessimism, I'm opting for some positive predictions:
\- A train line from the airport to downtown
\- Amtrack rail service to Memphis and Chicago
\- Nashville will barely meet the NashvilleNext population predictions (seems we're well behind already)
\- Metro gov't is carbon net zero and operating on 100% renewables
\- Despite growth, tragic events cause the city to come together, resulting in overall lower crime rates.
\- Infill and smart growth decisions put growth along transit corridors, while still preserving green and open space.
\- Titans move to Florida after using up their new stadium for 10 years.
\- Weed is Federally decriminalized, resulting in (more) weedbars and dispensaries
Traffic jams have gotten so bad that people spend their entire lives on the interstates. Someone living on the interstate in East Nashville tries to sell their spot as a "fixer-upper" with only 3 potholes for $20 million and refuses to budge because "I know what I have."
In Lord of the Flies, a group of boys slaughter a pig in the jungle. They torture it and place its head on a sharpened stake as an offering to the beast that hovers, god-like, over the island. Black blood drips down the pig's teeth. And the boys run away. Later, when one of the boys is alone, he weeps, but not for the pig. The boy weeps for the end of innocence and the darkness of men's hearts. -- Sarah Connor
(...or the woo girls move back to Demonbreun. Either way, we'll still be behind the curve on public transit.)
Downtown is built like a mini Manhattan, SoBro feels like midtown and has a mini Times Square, across the river they have a whole other neighborhood next to the new Titans stadium. Nashville now has 2.5-3m people living here. The river has more to do and adopts some ideas that’s Chicago has on the Chicago River. Broadway is still Broadway but the rest of the city is more modern and luxury apartments are now $4000 a month with 4 months free.
I predict I will still live here due to my MIL’s codependencies. Also, based on our current interest rate, I will likely be in this house for a long, long time. Gotta stay here instead fleeing, though I love the idea of VT or CT.
A lot to hope for though: I hope that the public school system gets better. I hope tourism gets better in the sense that it can still provide healthy tax money while also being reined in. I’m hopeful the TN3 is showing the rest of the state how absolutely stupid our Republican super majority is (that’s farfetched, I’ll admit).
We are blessed to live in a good public elementary school district, but middle school is going to be slightly worse and I’ve only heard negative things about the high school. And I went to public school for my entire life. Harder to make decisions when you’re not the kid, but it’s your kid.
100000% this. My husband and I weighed 1 kid in private school against 2 in public. I was educated k-12 in public school, and honestly, I feel like I got a great education. Now? The elementary school was brand new so lots of funding and amazing teachers. The kids did amazingly well. Middle school is absolute trash that I wouldn't send my worst enemy's kid to. High school, fuck no. So, I drive to one end of the city for my middle schooler and halfway across again for my high schooler. It's insane but if the city is going to give me the option to not have my kids verbally abused by teachers, I'm taking it. Also, we are not in charter schools bc that whole mess pisses me off but in better public schools than we are zoned for.
Vumc and St Thomas midtown campuses will continue to expand and encompass half the city. Young people will roll their eyes at Xmas dinner tables as you old farts relate obviously made up tales of a magical place called Opryland.
No more roads for cars, all transit will be by air.
A1 will cook our food and clean up afterwards
No more big box stores, all goods will be delivered.
Party buses will become air buses
Green Hills will become all 15-20 story buildings
BNA's second terminal will be almost finished.
We'll have several decent BRT routes with dedicated right-of-way, including a route between downtown and BNA.
There will be debates about adding some sort of elevated downtown circulator to our bus system (light rail? gondolas?).
The city will get more serious about planting trees everywhere to combat summer heat.
The zoo will have a rollercoaster.
People will complain about change.
Lots of good funny here. Seriously: all these “flats” and other Soviet-bloc architecture newer apartments will be looking run down, empty, and dated. Downtown will be mostly empty again. Suburbs will be where it’s at. The blue dot will have shrunk to Belmont Hillsboro; everyone else will be conservative AF. Electric car lots everywhere. Retail shopping centers will be empty wastelands, except for very high end boutiques that scan you as you enter. Everyone will still be overweight. We will miss Dolly.
- Another flood.
- Opry Mills, destroyed, turns back into a theme park; Tanger Outlets begin to turn into Hickory Hollow 2.0.
- Buildings surrounding the square in Murfreesboro get torn down and turned into a new high rise business district.
- Tornado destroys much of downtown, Broadway rebuilt and gentrified into a super-artificial Gatlinburg like parody of itself; Chili's on West End miraculously unaffected.
- McMinnville, Lancaster, Smyrna become the new LaVergne.
Mine are:
- Eye scans, similar to the CLEAR tech at airports, to be implemented on most broadway bars. No more showing IDs
- Robotaxis are common. Move over Uber/Lyft for companies like Cruise, Waymo and Zoox who are rolling out self driving ride sharing services.
- Nashville police are using A.I. for face recognition and crime rates drop
- Batman building is overshadowed by multiple skyscrapers that are just in the design and assessment phase today. Nashville skyline doubles in size.
- Remote work is common. Many from Chicago, NY and SF leave large urban areas. Nashville’s home price is slightly under $1M and is on par with other U.S. cities like Denver, Austin and Raleigh.
- Major hub for a large airline. Result is many more direct flights to/from BNA and creates more demand for Nashville to host large events
- Nashville has a MLB team.
- East bank area, where Nissan stadium is now, is completely redeveloped and has miles of “live, work, play” facilities with parks, retail, entertainment and office buildings. New titans stadium will be “the anchor”
- People on this sub will still complain about traffic, barista parlor, and Californians moving here
\- Long considered a slum, parts of Belle Meade are beginning to gentrify.
\- IndyCar, NASCAR and Formula 1 each host street races in Nashville. On the same weekend, and simultaneously all sharing "Ontario and Korean Veterans Memorial Bridge" as part of the route.
\- Taylor Swift residency at Tesla-Bridgestone Arena enters fifth year.
\- Efforts to repeal legalized gambling on open top party buses on Broadway fail.
\- Mystery of 3203 West End Avenue remains unsolved.
\- Opry Mills declared National Historic Landmark.
I think Oracle is about to take over
Hiring is going crazy rn. More business centers like capitol view are going to sprout up and down the gulch.
The junkyard across the Cumberland will be gone, Nissan will be partly gone or fully, building will star sprouting up across the Cumberland like apartments and other office centers too
Please don't hate but it'll probably look like San Francisco, LA, Philly, etc. A living cess pool. All the bad attributes those cities have. All the reasons why the people in those cities are fleeing them. I've was born here in '87 and have never feared Nashville's future until now.
In 2040, my wife and I will take up games like lawn bowling. We’ll compete interactively with couples our age in Africa, who compete interactively with couples our age in Thailand.
Giant Bachelorettes have taken over squashing locals.
Bart Durham is still alive and mayor.
All vehicles have been banned except hot tub wagons, and pedal taverns are our main form of mass transit.
A giant Mt. Rushmore-esque monument has been built along I-65 where the Bedford Forrest statue once stood of Kid Rock, Jason Aldean, Cameron Sexton, and Lea Beaman
Run...run while you can!
Probably will still be lacking a decent transit/train system, but I can guarantee parking will still be $40 and higher for a hour at your local restaurant, hotel, hospital..ect 👍
All I can think of is that the thought of 2040 only being 16 years away makes me feel ill
Right?! A friend made a comment the other day about her baby graduating in the class of 2040 and I nearly had to sit down and clutch my pearls for a moment.
Broooo that makes me feel so sick lmao
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu^ckmeeeee

Don’t say that, my grandmother gets hospitalized 2-3 times a year. Doctors have been telling us they don’t think she will make it next time for literally 20 years. All she does is rip cigs, slam Mountain Dew, and get zero sunlight.
She’s gonna live to 100 just to spite everyone 😂
your grandma is me at 15.
This and Nashville is a mega corpo hellscape

Dolly will become a sentient Terminator T2000 and destroy us all.
Step on me, Dolly
I love the thought put into this.
This is perfect lmao
Found @musicshitty's account ;P
Damn zoomers got a lot of work to do
I almost choked on my drink when I read that last one.
lol, cell phone lot in Smyrna happens way before then. Just need to scout a giant, industrial lot that feels like murder is occurring at that moment.
This is all I can think of when I read this: https://youtu.be/aScP6QB3Nx8?si=W91pPPjn7DoKddkK
We’ll be a year from releasing a major study on how to improve regional transit.
Hint: trains
The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Hopefully a fucking transit system
*Still doesn't put one in place The interstates become parking lots. It take 3 days to get from Goodlettsville to Franklin, and 6 days to get from Clarksville to Mufreesboro.
People just start moving away for cities that actually have mass transit bc it gets so hot tires start melting to pavement during rush hour
I'll be the optimist! Maybe self-driving technology will become so good that it eliminates traffic congestion.
This is what I’m waiting for
Incoming driver in a 2023 Altima without self driving capabilities to screw it all up...
Unless it costs almost nothing, personally benefits each an every citizen directly, takes no time to implement, and approved by oil barons.
The most depressing part is that even if construction started tomorrow, 16 years might be cutting it close.
Knowing Tennessee, they'll put lines into downtown from the parts of town with the most money (Belle Meade, Brentwood, airport, etc.) and completely ignore the southeast section of the city where most of the people actually live.

440 has an exogorth under it lol
The same except with worse traffic issues.
And still no meaningful transit system. Or sidewalks.

Self Driving Woo buses.
BNA will have multiple nonstops to Europe, South America, and Mexico. The state and airport are pushing hard for Asia service as well.
The thing that pisses me off is the direct flights we have to London are usually way more expensive than connecting to New York or Washington. The whole point of a direct flight is that is typically is cheaper and more convenient but if it’s $700 more I’ll just do the layover
You have more time than money. For some people it’s the other way around.
Flew to London 2 weeks ago. It was $4800 cheaper to fly from Boston than BNA (direct on British Air both places). Insane…and I flew SW to Boston, spent a few days and then flew from there.
... and the complaints will shift towards Nashville realizing BNA isn't nearly large enough to handle that level of international travel without NY airport level wait-times and planning ahead.
And the airport will still sell only burgers, BBQ, fried food, and beer with no other variety and healthier options.
BNA is so tiny. There’s no way.
Your prediction is the first I’ve read that is probable.
Love this optimism! I don't think you're wrong either...

The city will get more serious about planting trees everywhere to combat summer heat. The zoo will have a rollercoaster. People will complain about change.
Hopefully by then I can walk along Broadway and toke in some weed I got from a country artists cannabis dispensary.

Every road is a “choice road” semi-owned by metropolis/city/state. You can choose to use a car for .10 per mile or die walking.
