Host Marie Cecile Anderson sits down with Heidi Basgall Favorite, a neighborhood advocate and member of Citizens Against Racetrack Expansion for Nashville (CARE), to learn what it’s like to live next to a racetrack for 15 years, and why CARE is fighting to change the Metro Charter and put affordable housing at the Fairgrounds instead.
