My advice is, if you’re leaving for financial reasons, that’s good. Franklin, Brentwood, etc, are high dollar. Maybe not as high dollar as Cali, but high dollar, nonetheless. And with all the folks moving there, home prices and taxes are going up with them.
As for Nashville, the Mayor put out a PSA a while back telling illegals how to avoid ICE. And the new mayor, whoever it may be, isn’t going to be any better. Nashville had a chance if they had went for Carol Swain, but she came in 3rd and was bumped out.
If you think Nashville is country music and all things Conservative, I politely tell you to think again. The city has been overrun with liberals and hipsters. As have Knoxville and Chattanooga. So, it’s probably more like California now, than what it used to be 5-10 years ago.
Like Texas, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, past Governors and mayors from all those states did their best to attract the tech industry, and others, thinking it would bring jobs to the folks of Tennessee. The companies moved and they brought their liberal employees with them. The Tennessee office of Facebook doesn’t want Good Ol’ Boys, driving F250s and heading to the woods looking for deer, so they imported their help.
And toss in the fact that the Legislature, without the help of the previous Governor or AG(both Republicans) tried to sue the Fed’s over refugee resettlement(mostly Muslims) and the associated costs and just got shot down in US Appeals court if I’m not mistaken. Toss in a healthy dose of illegal alien construction workers to build all those new houses around the area and all those new buildings downtown and, well, I’m sure you’re familiar with all of that.
Happening everywhere in the South. Doesn’t seem like any place is safe from it. Good luck.
I read that Nashville is mostly non white majority now....everyone thinks Nashville is some kind of old timey place....its not....its turning blue.
Really great analysis, and spot on.
As someone who works in tech in the Nashville area, I can assure you that if there was a ready supply of good ole boys who drove F250’s & liked to hunt who had Comp Sci or EE degrees, we’d be on them like white on rice. There isn’t; the Nashville tech market is pretty much tapped out.
I visited Nashville this past spring. Stayed downtown in a very nice hotel and loved the Ryman Theatre and the Country Music Hall of Fame. I will NEVER go back as long as it dimocrap run. It was depressing looking at all the drugged out street people. I would never wear any sandal type shoes there for fear of getting a drug needle stuck in my foot. Good thing there are a lot of shoe stores selling boots.
Yup.
