I wouldn’t mind living in the Nashville area. In fact thinking of making that retirement spot. Find me a nice piece of land on the edge of the Smokies and a short driving distance to Nashville.
A couple of people I know are moving away, or at least out of the metro, for retirement because of how prices and taxes have gone up. But if you are talking about Smokies, you will be 2-3 hours away. They aren’t close.

Yes. Every time LSU has an away game, I always subsequently move there.

Been to both before, and made trips to Austin and Nashville this year for games. Nashville is clearly better. Everything OP pointed out and love the free music. Austin is congested, overrun with homeless, panhandlers and liberals.
Nashville is headed for all those things fast. And their transportation issues are far worse, actually. You have to blast to build roads and there is virtually 0 mass public transportation. Had a chance to move their for work 8 years ago and I’m really glad I turned it down.

if you live south or west of town the commute pretty much goes the speed limit all the way in.
i've lived here for 23 years and i have never had an issue with traffic..but then again i dont like in antioch, mt. joliet, hendersonville or clarksville.
It makes me laugh to hear people compare traffic here to Atlanta which is a nightmare even at midnight on a Friday night.

That’s a pretty rosy picture. My co-workers in Murfreesboro would disagree. The office manager there told me he’s packing up and heading out of the metro once he retires since the construction and higher prices have fully arrived there. He hits the office at 6 AM to beat traffic because of how bad it is. In fact, our entire staff usually starts by 6:30 to avoid the traffic coming in.
At the end of my last stint there, I tried staying in Mt Juliet. I had several one hour commutes before I gave up. All it takes is one accident or one small but if construction and the whole thing turns to shite.

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at, exactly, but almost every major city is liberal. Your attempt to blame liberals for homelessness is an absolute joke

I live here and it is fantastic.

Murfreesboro is not close to Nashville, anyone commuting there knows what they are signing up for. It is 40 miles to downtown and has its own horrible traffic, it can take 20 minutes to get to the interstate from inside Murfreesboro then you still have 30+miles to go. Traffic isn’t great but that’s a terrible example.

The Franklin/Brentwood area just south of town is fantastic. Real estate is high (and getting higher) but it’s clean, safe, has everything you’d ever want, only 20 minutes from Nashville, and the best schools in the state.
I'm here to help for all your real estate needs folks

Memphis AREA forget about the entire area. With a partner in Texas was thinking about opening up a business in Memphis due it being such a transportation hub almost convenient for clients from a whole lot of places within a day's drive. So, while talking with client company president and asked him about our thoughts of locating there his answer was, "Mississippi is more business friendly. No one wants to live near Memphis who is productive, not even northern Mississippi." "We do have no state income tax but Mississippi is better." The company had manufacturing in Mississippi and half a dozen other states.
Not sure about who told you that, especially if it has to do with shipping or logistics. Every online shipper in the works has facilities here and many are in the process of building or expanding. News just broke that Amazon is likely building another large hub here to go with the one they already have. FedEx just dropped a billion in new development commitments over the next 5-10 years. The Memphis metro is also at a 50+ year high in construction at the moment with more on the way. We can’t hire enough people to cover all the projects we are booking. Our company has never been busier.
A few years ago I might have agreed with you, but that’s not the way it is today. Who knows if it will last, but if the economy doesn’t tank and Willie Herenton doesn’t somehow slither his way back into the mayor’s office, then it doesn’t look like it’s stopping on its own. Memphis isn’t Nashville, but at least it’s headed in the right direction again.

Not really. A 30-40 mile commute is just the edge of the burbs for a major city. Murfreesboro is as bad as it is now because it became another suburb and wasn’t ready for it. I worked there often 10-15 years ago and the traffic wasn’t a quarter what it is now inside the city. This guy has told me how much worse it’s gotten over that time. I think his commute used to be in the 30-40 minute range when he first started. Now it’s 45 or so if he leaves around 5 to 5:30.

Memphis is great location for the blue collar needs of many businesses. But white collar, C level jobs are coming to Nashville in droves.
Memphis might be a little less corrupt with slick Willie gone, but its still an absolute disaster of how local government should operate.
I'd slit my wrists in a warm bath before moving to Memphis. Since 2011 my home value has doubled and my salary has tripled. Congrats on turning that down

I live in Franklin and literally go into work on Hillsboro road every single day or get on 65 at old hickory and it's not a problem.

There is affordable housing all over fricking Williamson county. If you move here and choose to live somewhere else then bitch about schools and traffic that's on you.
Hell Fairview is beyond cheap and you get those sweet schools and sweet I40 commute into Nashville.
