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?

I (33F) have lived here my whole life in Davidson County. I am actively working on moving to California. Everyone I've met from CA who has moved here is moving here for the reasons I want to leave. I want to raise my kids in a more progressive state and look forward to having access to the beauty of the PNW. Most of my friends from here who have moved to CA haven't regretted their decision, and I have hope I won't regret it either.

Having lived here so long, it's disappointing to see it regressing as a city rather than becoming more open-minded and progressive. I dislike feeling like I'm the minority in my beliefs all the time. Fortunately, I do own a home here, have a stable, good job, and like where I live, but I'm ready to start over somewhere. Plus, the dating pool here makes me 🤢.
