Wow! I would have never thought that would happen. The Hillsboro Village and many of the Green Hills esidents used to hold we who lived there in utter contempt. We were deemed unfit to hold the banner for "The Athens of the South".
Is there any part of Davidson county (not the outlying counties) that's still Conservative and Christian? Or have all the good people moved out to Williamson and other surrounding counties?
If you think of the county as a circle, I would say the outermost third is Conservative or Republican. The wealthiest areas (Forest Hill, Green Hills, Belle Meade) are Republican, but differ a bit from the suburban or working class Republican areas.
Until this election, for about 12 years, I had Conservative Republican Councilmembers (but not legislators !), but a corrupt, racist/race-baiting Black leftist woman took the open Council seat in my section of Antioch. Partly due to the fact that this was a bit of a rotten borough area (Hispanic illegals who can’t vote, low turnout amongst Blacks and the remaining White working class could elect a member).
Unfortunately, this is also a high-crime area and very transient (my parents & I being the very few people who’ve been here for over 41 years). Most folks that come here stay for only a few years at best before moving to a safer or more established area (either to a more upscale neighborhood near downtown or out of county).
Overall, what are the big issues for our side (illegals, social decline, gov’t spending) are complete non-issues for the left in Nashville. Their overriding issue is mass transit, gov’t health care, mass transit, bike paths, mass transit, affordable housing and mass transit (did I mention mass transit ?). They despise that the rest of the state doesn’t want to pony up for expensive urban mass transit projects, which are usually black holes for funding.
Of course, the issue isn’t without merit or substance. Traffic is terrible and more and more urban hipsters want to live downtown (or adjacent) and be able to get around without cars, but their solutions are punitive and wanting to FORCE people to change their car-driving habits (as in by not driving), which I remind them won’t work. Most middle or upper class people, despite the claims of the outgoing Mayor, do not want to ride the bus with angry, violent and racist yoots who might go off at a moment’s notice.
