They view is bad but, its not simply about the view. It's the lies and underhanded dealings. It's the noise pollution and the traffic. We were told by developer, Richard Johnson, a member of the church (possibly on their board of directors?)
that the City of Franklin had insisted they place "heavily landscaped, elevated land berms" at the property line in order to minimize the amphetheatre effect created by the basin in which the building sits.
The developers blew away the mountainside but, who knows where they took the dirt? They could have used it to build the berms as promised but, they didn't. They cheated. They lied.

I sympathize. More than I can convey.

Not In My BackYard

I'm for, "Not in YOUR backyard either."
I think placing suburbs in the suburbs is a better idea.
"High Density" in Brentwood and Franklin is ruinous.
We already have prime suburbs established in Madison, Old Hickory, & Hermitage.
If we MUST establish "affordable living" in Williamson County, let's start that intense growth in the outskirts of town. Maybe around Mill Creek where the big developers have bought up huge parcels of land.
