Leaving Nashville Discussion

Have you been living here for a while now and are you wanting to move either because of the traffic, politics, home prices, jobs, culture or religion etc ? Please share your opinions because I have plenty and want to hear other's! Thank you!

Oh and where are you moving to?

Been here since i was 3 yrs old. Its changed a lot here the last 21 years. Theres now too many people here, the city is full of tourists all year. Everywhere you look they throw up apartment complexes or overpriced tall & skinnies. Literally everyone speeds around the city, especially on Briley. Cant stand the horrible people the rest of the state has elected to “represent” us. Cant wait to get money together to leave this horrible state, hate it here. No wonder Tennessee ranked 47th on the happiest states. 47TH!!! 🤮🤮. And dont forget nobody is actually hiring in this city, the ones that are, are offering ridiculously bad pay.

Lots of us are hiring, we just avoid people with your sort of attitude.

You don’t hire people who speak the truth?

Miserable people are miserable to work with, and as soon I figure out I’ve got one behind my bar, I’ll send ‘em kicking rocks.

I’m old enough now to have seen a score of folks who blame all their troubles on their town finally “escape”, and the ones I was able to keep in touch with ended up just as miserable in the shimmering city on a hill (Usually NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, SoCal, one in Cleveland, of all places) that they took off for. I’ve lived in a half dozen cities and visited a hundred more - this one’s pretty swell. I think it’s a trait of younger people, I felt that way sometimes in my 20s.
