“I would warn against moving to Tennessee though. All you need to do is look at Nashville these days “
NEVER look at Nashville or points west. And Franklin, south of Nashville, is a lib enclave. The In N Out lady didn’t do enough research, IMO.
Eastern TN is conservative, but I can see that it might lean left ten years from now.
Isn’t eastern TN still cheaper real estate then western NC?
This is one of the few places I was considering moving after retirement. Cross the border into NC to towns like Banner Elk or any of these other mountain towns within two hours of Charlotte and a nice house STARTS at seven figures and goes up from there.
The other benefit of higher LOCAL property taxes just changed with the Big Beautiful Bill. Local property taxes are now deductible up from a max of $10k TO $40k. So, if you have a big house in NH & TN, with 10K+ property taxes to go with it, YOU JUST GOT A TAX BREAK. My house is still JUST under $10K in southern NH.
Where does everyone get that lie? Franklin US NOT a liberal enclave.
Super conservative. Just look up Williamson County voting results.
One story. Our primaries are in early August. In 2020 Trump got the state GOP to move only the Republican primary for President to March. That was the only election held. No Dems, no other seats. They stayed in August.
The biggest voting place is less than a quarter mile from me. The lines, all day, were so long it took 3 hours.
All to vote only for Trump. I think Nicki Haley got 30% od so.
Most Republican candidates on our ballots run unopposed. Dems don’t bother.
