From the Tennessean:

Circuit Judge Joe Binkley Jr. ruled against the neighbors’ claims in both suits, a decision neighbors say they will appeal.

“We will continue to fight because this project is not in the best interest of our community,” said Kevin Rodriquez, vice president of Concerned Neighbors of Davidson County.
“When you look at the total number of homes in the concentrated area, it becomes a small housing project. Our fight is to reduce the number of bedrooms from five to three.

“We feel Habitat has not looked at it holistically to see what ills will affect our community.”
Neighbors also expressed concerns about the size of the development and say the project’s residents will increase demand on area infrastructure, bring traffic and crime to the area and may decrease property values. They also questioned why Habitat wants to build in an area that already has two of the affordable home communities.

“We applaud the single mothers that want to have a better life for the kids, and we are not objecting to them coming here, but we just want a win-win for both parties,” Rodriquez said.

Officials with Habitat for Humanity say this project will invest almost $3.5 million to provide affordable housing for those who deserve it.

“We put hard-working, quality homeowners in these homes,” said Chris McCarthy, president and chief executive officer of Nashville Area Habitat.
